Further,  it  is  mandatory  to  provide support  of  90/95  person  days  unskilled  wage  employment  at  the current  rates  to  a  PMAY-G  beneficiary  for  construction  of  his  /her

house in convergence with MGNREGS. The PMAY-G households are also provided piped drinking water, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), renewable  energy  source  and  building  material  is  also  provided through convergence with different government programmes. Convergence  under  the  scheme  also  involves  inclusion  of  women members of PMAY-G households under the fold of Self Help Groups (SHGs) through NRLM to explore better livelihood opportunities.

Under PMAY-G, the following mechanism is in place to ensure the better design and quality of houses:
- (i) The beneficiaries are being assisted in house construction with a bouquet  of  house  design  typologies  inclusive  of  disaster  resilient features  that  are  suitable  to  their  local  geoclimatic  conditions, cultural  preferences  and  availability  of  construction  materials.  3D designs of house design typologies have been made available in the Awaas+ 2024 Mobile app for selection by the beneficiaries.
- (ii)  The  Ministry  has  published  a  compendium  of  rural  housing typologies  "PAHAL"  which  is  available  on  the  program  website  of PMAY-G. The Ministry has taken an  initiative  to  digitize  PAHAL  to recommend ideal housing design to beneficiary through Awaas App.
- (iii)  The  Ministry  has  also  developed  a  mobile  application  namely Awaas  SAKHI.  Through  this  App  beneficiaries  are  also  provided information regarding availability of house design typologies, locally available BIS certified construction material and rural masons.
- (iv)  The  Ministry  has  requested  all  the  States/UTs  through  letter dated 24.06.2024 and during review meetings, to issue direction to officials concerned to encourage and orient beneficiaries as far as possible, to procure BIS-certified (ISI marked) construction material.

(v)  The  Ministry  in  collaboration  with  Bureau  of  Indian  Standards (BIS) organised Capacity Building Programme for senior officials of Rural Development Department of States/UTs in December, 2024 to sensitize them on the Indian Standards relevant to housing sectors, and  about  tools  and  platforms  developed  by  BIS  which  they  can leverage  upon  for  ensuring  quality  construction  of  houses  under PMAY-G.

(vi)  The  Area  Officer  App  is  also  being  used  under  PMAY-G  for monitoring  visits  performed  by  officials  to  monitor  progress  of PMAY-G at ground level.
