This list of joint funding scheme—JFS—projects in India is incomplete.

For example, OXFAM which used joint funding scheme resources for about 200 projects in India has yet to notify us of its allocations for 1991–92. Other agencies are also likely to add to their list of projects financed from JFS resources.
