The SVAMITVA (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) initiative is revolutionizing rural India. By supplying precise property ownership data, it’s generating positive changes in daily life. Villagers are now empowered with clear ownership, minimizing disputes and creating better opportunities."
The SVAMITVA scheme, initiated in 2020, aims to grant rural households legal rights to their property by mapping land parcels using drone and GIS technology. This initiative has empowered millions of rural individuals with formal property titles, aiding in financial inclusion and reducing land disputes that have historically plagued rural India.
PM Modi is set to distribute over 65 lakh property cards on Saturday under the SVAMITVA Scheme, marking a significant milestone in India's rural empowerment initiatives.
The distribution event will occur via video conferencing at 12:30 PM, during which the Prime Minister will engage with beneficiaries and deliver a nationwide address.
