## ANSWER

## 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 with issuance of  legal  ownership  rights  (Property  cards/Title  deeds).  Under  the  scheme,  the  land  parcels  in inhabited area of all the villages of the country are surveyed using drones. It 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 29 States/UTs,  including the States of Maharashtra,  Rajasthan and Gujarat have signed MoUwith SoI. Since the State of Bihar has not yet signed the MoU with SoI, the scheme has not yet been initiated in the State of Bihar.

(b) So far, drone flying has been completed in 1,21,933 villages across 29 States/UTs of the country including 16,027 villages in 33 districts of Maharashtra. Drone flying has been saturated in the Wardha and Akola districts of Maharashtra.  Further, 3,14,601 property cards have been prepared in 2,099 villages of Maharashtra and 1,35,868 property cards have been distributed in 950 villages of Maharashtra.

- (c) As Bihar has not yet signed the MoU with SoI, the scheme is yet to initiate in the State. Hence, no drone flying is done in Araria district of Bihar. Drone flying has been completed in 217 villages  of  Madha  Parliamentary  Constituency,  Maharashtra;  524  villages  of  Latur  District, Maharashtra.  Drone flying is yet to commence in Jalore and Sirohi Dstricts of Rajasthan.  Drone flying is completed in 561 villages of 12 Districts of Gujarat.

(d) The District-wise detail of the total number of families that have been distributed property cards is not maintained by the Central Government. However, the State-wise details of the total number of property cards distributed are attached at Annexure .
