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 Rural Development MGNREGA rural job guarantee wages, PMAY-Gramin rural housing, rural roads, and old-age and widow pensions. ₹1.87 lakh cr
- Department of Land Resources Digitising land records and titles, and watershed development on rain-fed land. ₹2,000 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.
