From drone maps to property cards: How SVAMITVA is changing rural land records

The SVAMITVA program leverages drone technology to accurately map rural lands, providing property cards that affirm land ownership. This initiative minimizes disputes over property claims and curbs unauthorized building practices in villages. Additionally, it simplifies the process of obtaining bank loans by allowing property to be used as collateral, while Gram Panchayats benefit from enhanced geospatial information for improved regional development.
