The SVAMITVA Scheme, a brainchild of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, represents a revolutionary initiative aimed at granting property ownership rights to individuals residing in village-inhabited areas. Leveraging state-of-the-art drone and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies, the scheme facilitates the creation of Property Cards, allowing rural property owners to unlock the potential of their residential assets. These Property Cards are pivotal in obtaining bank loans and other financial benefits, while also contributing to the resolution of land-related disputes through the production of highly accurate, 5cm resolution maps.
The scheme is executed through collaborative efforts involving Survey of India as the technology implementation partner, State Revenue and Panchayati Raj Departments, and NIC-GIS.
