Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct. MGNREGA provides a legal guarantee of at least 100 days of wage employment to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect. While Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) play a critical role in the implementation of MGNREGA at the village level, the district-level implementation is primarily the responsibility of the District Program Coordinator, typically the District Collector. Manufacturing and industrial work are not permissible under MGNREGA as it focuses on unskilled manual labour for rural development, including works like water conservation, rural road construction, and afforestation.

Hence option 1st is correct.
