SVAMITVA Scheme
Context
Four years after launching the Svamitva scheme to digitize property records in rural India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hand over 5.8 million property cards to their owners in over 50,000 villages across 12 states.
What is the Svamitva scheme?
- SVAMITVA (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) is a Central Sector Scheme launched by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj.
- It was launched in 2020 to provide rural property owners with official "Records of Rights," granting them access to bank loans, reducing disputes, and improving village-level planning.
- Progress so far:
- Currently, it has been implemented across 31 states and Union territories.
- A total of 20.19 million property cards have been issued under the Panchayati Raj scheme so far.
- 92 per cent of drone mapping has been completed in 317,000 villages. The scheme is on track to meet its targets by 2026.
- Significance of the initiative
- Banks are increasingly accepting these property cards, which have helped many women establish legal rights over land.
- In essence, the scheme has facilitated the identification of open spaces and contributed to enhanced community development.
Ministry of Tourism has sanctioned a total of 76 projects for an amount of Rs.5287.90 Crore under the Swadesh Darshan Scheme, out of which 75 projects are physically complete
