Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a 'Parivartan rally' in Agra today where, as expected, he spoke on demonetisation. Modi was in Agra to launch the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojna, his flagship scheme for providing houses to the rural poor.

2. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojna, we will be creating different house models for each state according to their lifestyle. These are real homes, not just four walls or a box. They will have electricity and gas connections

3. Crores of houses need to be made and it will take thousands of masons. And we have started a campaign to train a large number of youths as masons. Earlier, you never knew who MNREGA helped. Now we have said if a family builds their own home, it too will come under MNREGA
