Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 60 : 40.
- In the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana (PMAY-G), the cost of unit assistance is shared between the Central and State Governments in the ratio of 60:40 in plain areas.
- This means that for every unit of assistance provided for building houses in rural areas, the Central Government contributes 60% of the cost, while the State Government covers the remaining 40%. In the case of hilly states and difficult areas, the ratio changes to 90:10, with the Central Government contributing 90% and the State Government contributing 10%.
