Which of the following scheme's aim was to provide housing to rural poor people in India?

Correct option is D

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Grameen) (PMAY-G) aims to provide affordable and durable housing to the rural poor in India. Launched in 2016, this scheme seeks to address homelessness and improve living conditions by constructing pucca (permanent) houses with basic amenities. The scheme is aligned with the vision of "Housing for All" by 2022.

Important Key Points:

1. PMAY-G replaces the Indira Awaas Yojana with enhanced features.
2. Targets households identified through the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data.
3. Provides financial assistance of up to ₹1.2 lakh in plains and ₹1.3 lakh in hilly regions.
4. Promotes eco-friendly and disaster-resilient housing technologies.
5. Converges with other schemes to provide toilets, electricity, and clean cooking fuel.
6. Empowers rural women, as houses are often registered in the name of female family members.
