SVAMITVA Scheme
The SVAMITVA scheme was launched by the Prime Minister on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day, April 24, earlier this year and the distribution of property cards began on October 11.
What is the SVAMITVA card?
- SVAMITA stands for Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas.
- It is a Central Sector Scheme aimed at “providing ‘record of rights’ to village household owners possessing houses in inhabited rural areas in villages and issuance of property cards to the property owners.”
- During the current financial year, the scheme is being implemented as a pilot project in about 1 lakh villages across 8 states – Maharashtra, Karnataka, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan.
- The aim is to cover all 6.62 lakh villages in the country by the end of financial year 2023-24.
How is a SVAMITVA property card generated?
- The framework for implementation of SVAMITVA scheme, finalized by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, provides a multi-stage process of generating a property card, which starts with signing of a memorandum of understanding between Survey of India (SoI) and respective state governments.
- The SoI is responsible for preparing the National Topographic database on all scales, using technology for topographical mapping at various scales including the use of airborne photographydrones, satellite imageries, and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) or drone platforms.
