## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (PROF. S. P. SINGH BAGHEL)

(a) and (b)The SVAMITVA (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) Scheme was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister on National Panchayati Raj Day, April 24, 2020. Its core objective is to drive economic progress in rural India by providing a "Record of Rights" to every rural household owner. This is achieved through the demarcation of inhabited (Abadi) land using advanced drone surveying technology. The scheme is a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Revenue Departments, State Panchayati Raj Departments, and the Survey of India.

The SVAMITVA Scheme delivers significant benefits, including facilitating property monetization and access to bank loans, reducing property-related disputes and enabling comprehensive village-level planning.

By providing legally recognized property cards, the scheme empowers rural property owners to access institutional credit. As of March 5, 2025, drone surveys have been completed in 3.20 lakh villages and 2.41 crore property cards have been prepared in 1.6 lakh villages.Saturation has been achieved in Haryana, Uttarakhand, Puducherry, Goa, Tripura, A&N Islands, and D&D and D&NH.Drone flying has been completed in Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Delhi. Telangana has only completed a pilot survey of 5 villages.

To ensure timely completion, the Ministry has implemented the following measures: -

- I. Milestone-based targets for States, UTs, and the Survey of India.
- II. Regular review meetings with stakeholders.

III. An online dashboard (svamitva.nic.in) for progress tracking.

- IV. Dedicated "handholding" support to States and UTs.

Detailed implementation status is available in Annexure.
