Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched the distribution of property cards within the framework of the Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas (SVAMITVA) scheme. “A historic effort towards rural transformation,” Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
Union Minister for Panchayati Raj Narendra Singh Tomar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar and Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Singh Yadav were also present at the event.
PM Modi is also interacting with some of the scheme’s beneficiaries.
These Aadhaar-like property cards are physical copies of the title deeds to the villagers’ houses and the surrounding areas they own (as opposed to cultivated land).
According to the PMO, the beneficiaries are from 763 villages, including 346 from Uttar Pradesh, 221 from Haryana, 100 from Maharashtra, 44 from Madhya Pradesh, 50 from Uttarakhand and two from Karnataka.
The scheme is being implemented throughout the country gradually.
