“The ownership scheme was started 5 years ago so that people living in villages can be given their legal proof. In the last 5 years, these ownership cards have been given to about 1.5 crore people. Today, more than 65 lakh families have received these ownership cards under this program,” said PM Modi.
He rued that previous regimes did not take any concrete steps in this direction and the SVAMITVA yojana began only after the BJP government came to power in 2014. “With the availability of property rights, the problems of the Gram Panchayats will be resolved, and they will also become financially empowered.

This will also make it easier to get a proper claim in case of a disaster,” PM Modi remarked, highlighting its benefits. He said that the SVAMITVA scheme has given a unique identity to land through Bhu-Aadhaar and added that about 23 crore Bhu-Aadhaar numbers have been issued.
“In the last 7-8 years, about 98 percent of land records have been digitized. Mahatma Gandhi used to say – that India lives in villages, and the soul of India is in villages.

The work of truly implementing this sentiment has been done in the last decade.” the Prime Minister said. THE SVAMITVA scheme’s pilot project was launched on April 24, 2020, and its national rollout was done on April 24, 2021.
Under the scheme, the land parcels in rural inhabited areas of all the villages of the country are surveyed using drone technology.
