## (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

(a) Drone flying is completed in all 13,321 notified villages under SVAMITVA Scheme in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The State has prepared 5.3 lakh property cards under SVAMITVAScheme in 1067 villages.

(b) In the Financial Year 2021-22, the state of Andhra Pradesh requested Rs 15 lakh for Information, Education, and Communication ( IEC) activities and Rs. 11.7 lakhs for establishment of State Programme Management Unit (SPMU) under SVAMITVA scheme. Accordingly, as requested by the State, Rs. 26.7 lakhs (Rs. 15 lakhs + Rs. 11.7 lakhs) were released by the Ministry for IEC and SPMU components, respectively. Thereafter, the State has not requested any funds.

(c) For Large Scale Mapping under SVAMITVA Scheme, Rs 85.80 lakhs have been provided to Survey of India (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana GDC). As the State has established 70 CORS through its own resources no funds have been provided to Survey of India for establishment of CORS in the State. District-wise details are at Annexure-I.

d) No property cards have been issued in Andhra Pradesh under SVAMITVA due to changes in property card format.
