The correct answer is: 1996.

Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), also known as the Prime Minister’s Rural Housing Scheme, is a government of India scheme launched in 2016 to provide housing for the rural poor. The scheme aims to construct 20 million houses in rural areas over a period of five years.

The scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development and is funded by the central government. The states and union territories are also required to contribute to the scheme.

The scheme is open to all rural households who are not covered by any other housing scheme. The beneficiaries are selected through a transparent process.

The scheme provides financial assistance to the beneficiaries to construct their houses. The assistance is provided in the form of a loan and a grant. The loan is repayable over a period of 20 years at an interest rate of 6%. The grant is a one-time payment.

The scheme also provides technical assistance to the beneficiaries to construct their houses. The technical assistance is provided by the state governments and union territories.

The scheme has been successful in providing housing to the rural poor. In the first two years of the scheme, over 5 million houses have been constructed. The scheme is expected to provide housing to 20 million households by 2022.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Option A is incorrect because the scheme was launched in 1996, not 1990.
  • Option B is incorrect because the scheme was launched in 1996, not 1992.
  • Option C is incorrect because the scheme was launched in 1996, not 1995.
