The scheme aims to demarcateinhabited(Abadi) landinrural areasthrough thelatest surveying drone technology, and it isa collaborative effort of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Revenue Departments, StatePanchayati Raj Departments, andSurveyof India.

The scheme covers multifarious aspects viz. facilitating monetization of properties and enabling bank loans; reducing property-related disputes; comprehensive village-level planning, which would be the stepping-stone towards achieving Gram Swaraj in the true sense andmaking rural India Atmanirbhar.

The SVAMITVA Scheme improves access to institutional credit by providing rural abadi property owners with formal, legally recognized property cards that serve as proof of 1ownership. Before the scheme, many rural property owners lacked proper documentation of property ownership, making it difficult for them to access credit from formal financial institutions.

As on January 29, 2026, 31 states/union territories have been included in the SVAMITVA scheme. Out of total 3.44 lakh villages, drone surveys have been completed in 3.29 lakh villages and3.06crore propertycardshave beenprepared for 1.86lakh villages, out of which

2.63crore propertycardshave beendistributed. (detailsat Annexure-I).
