SVAMITVA scheme
SVAMITVA is a central sector scheme of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj that aims at providing property rights to residents of rural inhabited areas. The scheme will pave the way for using the property as a financial asset by villagers for taking loans and other financial benefits, like in urban areas.
It aims to demarcate inhabited lands in rural areas through the latest surveying drone technology. The scheme had also provided a boost to the ecosystem of drone manufacturing in the country, the PMO said.
