## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

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

(a) Since its inception in April 2020, the SVAMITVA scheme has facilitated the preparation of 2.38 crore property cards across 1.59 lakh villages.

(b) On January 18, 2025, the Hon'ble Prime Minister oversaw the e-distribution of 6.5 million property cards in 52,000 villages across 10 States and 2 Union Territories. State/UT-wise details are provided in Annexure-I.

(c) As of February 3, 2025, drone surveys have been completed in 3.18 lakh villages across 31 States/UTs. Surveys are complete in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Delhi, Ladakh, and Lakshadweep. The scheme has achieved saturation in Haryana, Uttarakhand, Goa, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Puducherry, and Tripura. State/UT-wise details of drone surveys are provided in Annexure-II.

(d) The SVAMITVA scheme aims at demarcation of the inhabited (Abadi) villages in rural areas using drone technology with the objective of preparing record of rights and property cards for the residential properties in these village Abadi areas. This initiative facilitates property monetization and access to institutional credit/bank loans by providing legally recognized property cards as proof of ownership for mortgage, reduces/settles property disputes, and enables comprehensive village-level planning, ultimately contributing to Gram Swaraj and Atmanirbhar rural India.

(e) The SVAMITVA scheme has reached saturation in Haryana, Uttarakhand, Goa, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Puducherry, and Tripura. The scheme has been extended till 31 st March 2026 by which time all other participating States/UTs are expected to achieve saturation.
