(a) to (d):  The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana -  Gramin (PMAY-G)  w.e.f.  1st  April, 2016  to  provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  for  the construction of Pucca houses with basic amenities to achieve the objective of "Housing for All" in rural areas. Under the PMAY-G, the

initial target was construction of 2.95 crore houses during FY 201617 to 2023-24. The Government of India has approved the proposal for implementation of the scheme for 5 more years during FY 202425 to 2028-29 to provide assistance to 2 crore additional houses.

Under PMAY-G, there is no integrated infrastructure policy. However,  in  case  of  landless  beneficiary  the  State  shall ensure  that  the  beneficiary  is  provided  land  from  the  government land  or  any  other  land  including  public  land  (Panchayat  common land, community land or land belonging to other local authorities). For the selected land, adequate infrastructure, viz., electricity, road connectivity and availability of drinking water, solid & liquid waste management facilities, may be ensured.

In addition to the unit assistance provided under the scheme, assistance of Rs.12,000/- is also extended for construction of toilets through  convergence  with  Swachh Bharat  Mission  -  Gramin (SBMG), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) or any other dedicated source of funding. 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.

The  state  Government  of  Maharashtra has  reported  that  all PMAY-G beneficiaries are provided access to basic amenities such as water and toilets including beneficiaries in Bedya Basti, Katoda, Arni Taluka, Yavatmal District, Maharashtra.  The Ministry allocates wise/Gram Panchayat wise targets are fixed by the State.
