Which programme of the Indian Government uses Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data for identifying beneficiaries?​

Correct option is A

S. Ans. (A) Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin

Sol.

• The Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G) uses the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data to identify beneficiaries for providing affordable housing in rural areas.
• SECC data helps in identifying the economically weaker sections of the population who are eligible for government housing assistance under PMAY-G.

The correct answer is (A) Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin.

Information Booster:

• PMAY-G is a flagship program by the Indian Government aimed at providing housing for all by 2022 in rural areas.
• The Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) provides detailed data on households in rural and urban areas, which helps in targeting welfare schemes more effectively.
• The housing scheme under PMAY-G ensures that the poorest rural households receive financial assistance to construct a house, with priority given to women and vulnerable groups.
• Other programs like MGNREGA, Digital India, and NRHM are important initiatives but do not primarily rely on SECC data for identifying beneficiaries.
