Its demands for grants
2 budget lines sit under this ministry. The total above is their sum, because a group carries no figure of its own anywhere in this dataset.
- Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation Jal Jeevan Mission piped water to rural homes, and Swachh Bharat rural sanitation. ₹23,000 cr
- Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Dams and canal irrigation, the Polavaram project, Har Khet Ko Pani, and the Namami Gange river clean-up. ₹18,000 cr
The ministry structure here is the one the 2026-27 Budget publishes, applied to every year so a demand keeps one place across time. A machinery-of-government change that moved a demand between ministries in an earlier year is therefore not reflected.
