## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI KAPIL MORESHWAR PATIL)

- (a) The Central Sector Scheme 'SVAMITVA' aims to provide the 'Record of Rights' to village household owners possessing houses in inhabited areas (Abadi) in villages. Under the scheme,

land  parcels  in  rural  inhabited  area  of  all  the  villages  of  the  country  are  surveyed.  It  helps  in determination of clear ownership of property.

(b) The scheme is being implemented with the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj,  Survey  of  India  (SoI),  State  Revenue  Department,  State  Panchayati  Raj  Department  and National Informatics Centre. States need to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SoI for implementation of the scheme. So far 31 States/UTs, including the State of Uttar Pradesh, have signed  MoU  with  SoI.  The  Scheme  facilitates  monetisation  of  properties  leading  to  ease  of securing bank loans, reduction of property related disputes, comprehensive village level planning and providing a basis for assessment of property tax, which would accrue to the Gram Panchayats directly in States where it is devolved.The State-wisedetails of villages covered and beneficiaries impactedis attached as Annexure .

(c)  and  (d)  The  scheme  aims  to  cover  all  the  village  household  owners  possessing  houses  in inhabited (Abadi) areas in villages of the country including Jhansi Parliamentary Constituency of Uttar Pradesh.
