Launched in 2020, the SVAMITVA Scheme is a groundbreaking initiative that has revolutionized rural Indiaβs land ownership landscape through drone-based surveys and the issuance of 2.42 crore property cards across 1.61 lakh villages.
It serves as a critical building block in India's journey towards self-reliance, financial inclusion, rural economic growth, and governance reforms.
