PM Modi to hand over Aadhaar-like cards for properties mapped by drones

The title deeds can be leveraged by their holders as financial assets for loans and will also help keep a record of properties in the rural areas; no such records exist currently.

Hindustan Time, Updated: Oct 08, 2020 

House owners from 763 villages including 221 from Haryana, two from Karnataka, 100 from Maharashtra, 44 from Madhya Pradesh, 346 from Uttar Pradesh and 50 from Uttarakhand will receive physical copies of title deeds as well as digital property cards, people familiar with the matter said. 

The title deeds will be handed over under the “Svamitva” project launched by PM on April 24 and will map all urban or abadi (populated) areas of 6.40 lakh villages by 2024. 

The objective of this scheme is to provide an integrated asset verification solution for rural India, they added on condition of anonymity. The land of the residents in rural abadi areas will be demarcated using the latest survey methods using drones and with the help of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Revenue Departments and the Survey of India. This will not only enable village household owners to use their homes as a collateral for loans but also cut down on costly rural litigation.

Hello,

I am very keen to know how are the maps/images from the drones integrated with the paper records, and the maps of the patwari at the village level. Would also like to know whether this “Svamitva” project is different from the digitisation of land records going on for over a decade, or is the former an extension of the latter. 

Would appreciate if anyone can throw some more light.

Thanks.

There is this new website for the Swamitva project. But seems not very functional yet.
