## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI KAPIL MORESHWAR PATIL)

(a) Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is implementing SVAMITVA Scheme to provide Record of Rights (RoRs) to village property owners. The scheme aims to demarcate inhabited (Abadi) land in rural areas through the latest surveying drone technology.  It is a collaborative effort of MoPR, State Revenue Departments, State Panchayati Raj Departments and Survey of India (SoI). The scheme covers multifarious aspects, viz., facilitating monetization of properties and enabling bank loan; reducing property related disputes and comprehensive village level planning.  It is the stepping-stone towards achieving Gram Swaraj in true sense and making rural India Atmanirbhar.

As on 14 th  December, 2023, MoU for implementation of SVAMITVA Scheme has been signed with 31 States and Union Territories (UTs). Drone Survey has been completed in 2.89 lakh villages across 31 states and UTs. 1.63 Crore property cards have been prepared in 1.05 lakh villages. Scheme has been saturated in Haryana; Uttarakhand; Goa; A&N Islands and Puducherry. Drone survey has been saturated in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.

(b)  The scheme is spread over a period of 5  years from April 2020 to March 2025 across the country including the State of Chhattisgarh.

(c) The district-wise details of coverage in Chhattisgarh is attached as Annexure.

(d) 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/UTs  for  Information, Education, Communication (IEC) and setting up of State Project Monitoring Unit (SPMU) on the basis of villages to be surveyed. So far, an amount of Rs. 13,14,750/- have been released to the State of Chhattisgarh under the scheme.
