ANSWER
MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT
(SHRI BIRENDER SINGH)
(a) and (b) : Yes, Sir.
(c) and (d) : The construction is being carried out by the beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana –Gramin (PMAY-G). This also involves contribution of 90 days unskilled labour from MGNREGA which will not be possible if pre-fabricated houses are used. Therefore, pre-fabricated dwelling units have not been considered by the Government. Manufacture of building material for PMAY houses is one of the permissible activity of employment generation under MGNREGA.
