The SVAMITVA Yojana an acronym for 'Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas' is a flagship scheme of the Central Government. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj launched this initiative on April 24, 2020, with the objective of granting legal ownership rights over properties to residents living in the inhabited areas of rural regions. Under this scheme, surveys of villages are conducted using modern drone technology to generate accurate digital maps of residential properties. Upon the completion of the survey, property owners are issued a SVAMITVA Property Card, which serves as an official proof of ownership. This scheme aids in resolving land-related disputes, enhances the quality of rural planning, and empowers villagers to leverage their property as a financial asset to access bank loans and other benefits.

However, it is crucial to note that, at present, this scheme remains merely an electoral pledge; it will be implemented only if the party succeeds in forming the government.
