## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI KAPIL MORESHWAR PATIL)

(a) Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is implementing Central Sector Scheme SVAMITVA with the aim to provide the 'Record of Rights' to village household owners possessing houses in inhabited  areas  in  villages.  Legal  ownership  rights  (Property  cards/Title  deeds)  are  issued  by mapping of land parcels using drone technology. It is being implemented with the collaborative efforts  of  the  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj,  State  Revenue  Department,  State  Panchayati  Raj Department and Survey of India (SoI). States need to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

with SoI for implementation of the scheme. So far, 29 States, including the State of Rajasthan, have signed MoU with SoI. The Scheme aims to cover all the villages across the country by March 2025.State-wise details of the number of villages to be covered under SVAMITVA scheme till March  2025  is  attached  at Annexure-I .  The  progress  of  implementation  and  completion  of mapping  of  a  particular  area  under  the  scheme  depends  upon  various  factors  like  the  State establishing  the  legal  framework  for  Property  Cards,  availability  of  drone  teams,  the  State providing proper chuna-marked villages, weather conditions etc. As on 15th December, 2021, the status of implementation of the scheme is attached at Annexure- II .

- (b) Yes Sir. As on 15.12.2021, drone flying has been completed in 1,127 villages and 582 Property  Cards  in  38  villages  have  been  distributed  in  Rajasthan.  There  are  183  villages  in Jaisalmer, 850 villages in Dausa and 94 villages in Jaipur district where drone flying has been completed. Property Cards, known as Pattas in Rajasthan, have been distributed in only 38 villages in Jaisalmer district.
- (c) As per the Framework of the SVAMITVA scheme, the plan is to cover 13,000 villages in 2021-22 and 33,543 villages in 2022-23 in the State of Rajasthan. The number of villages to be covered over a period of time depends upon various factors like the preparedness of the State, utilization of available drone teams and early ground- verification by the State officials, apart from weather conditions.
- (d) One objective of the scheme is to facilitate monetization of properties of the citizens of rural India by enabling them to use their property as a financial asset by taking loans and other financial benefits.  Data for grant of property loan through SVAMITVA Scheme is not maintained by the Ministry.
- (e) The adjudicating disputes/objections during the survey and certifications process enshrined in the SVAMITVA scheme aims at reducing the number of land related disputes.  It is upto the State Government to prioritise the coverage of any particular area under the scheme within the ambit of the MoU it has entered into with the SoI.
