## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ (SHRI KAPIL MORESHWAR PATIL)

(a)  The  SVAMITVA  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 have signed  MoU  with  SoI.  The  State-wise  percentage  of  villages  in  India  where  mapping  of properties has been done by drones in the country is attached as Annexure-I .

(b)  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. 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.

- (c)  Under the scheme, funds to Survey of India (SoI) are provided for two components - Large Scale Mapping (LSM) using drones and establishment of Continuous Operating Reference Station (CORS). Funds on limited scale are also provided directly to States for Information, Education, Communication (IEC) and setting up of State Project Monitoring Unit (SPMU) on the basis of villages to be surveyed. The detail of the amount released so far under the scheme is at Annexure-II.

(d)  The SVAMITVA Scheme is being implemented in the State of Uttar Pradesh. State of Meghalaya has not signed the MoU with SoI. Out of 90,904 villages in Uttar Pradesh, Drone Survey has been completed in 90,446 villages in 75 districts. Around 49.8 lakhs Property Cards have been prepared for 33,642 villages in Uttar Pradesh. Under the scheme, funds on limited scale are also provided directly to States for Information, Education, Communication (IEC) and setting up of State Project Monitoring Unit (SPMU) on the basis of villages to be surveyed. The State of Uttar Pradesh has been released Rs. 1.44 crore in the financial year 2020-21 under IEC and SPMU components.

(e) and (f) No, Sir. The scheme is under implementation and the Government does not propose any alternative scheme of the SVAMITVA scheme.
