## ANSWERS

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

(PROF. S. P. SINGH BAGHEL)

a) Ministry of Panchayati Raj is implementing SVAMITVA Scheme to provide Record of Rights to village property owners. The scheme aims to demarcate inhabited(Abadi) land in rural areas through the latest drone survey-technology through the collaborative effort of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Revenue Departments, State Panchayati Raj Departments and Survey of India. The scheme has multiple objectives enabling bank loan against property card, reducing property related disputes and comprehensive village level planning . As on 24 th July 2025, drone survey has been completed in 3.26 lakh villages, 2.63 crore property cards have been prepared for 1.73 lakh villages. Drone survey is saturated in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala and Ladakh. The scheme has been saturated in Haryana, Uttarakhand, Puducherry, Goa, Tripura, Dadra Nagar Haveli Daman, Lakshadweep and A&N Island. State/UT wise details at Annexure-I

- b) Under SVAMITVA, States/UTs identify villages for drone survey and property card generation based on State Acts and Rules where Abadi or inhabited areas exist, which may include tribal areas. However, the Scheme does not maintain a separate State-wise, districtwise, or year-wise database specifically for conflict-prone tribal areas. Thus, no data is maintained under the SVAMITVA Scheme specifically regarding the number of conflictprone tribal areas mapped, State and district-wise, and year-wise.
- c) As on 24 th July 2025, 31 States/UT have signed MoU for implementation of SVAMITVA Scheme ( Annexure-I ) which includes states excluded under Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 viz Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan. However, Telangana has only undertaken pilot survey of 5 villages and has not scaled up the SVAMITVA Scheme and the Scheme is on-hold in Jharkhand.
