SVAMITVA is a Central Sector Scheme of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj which is aimed at providing property rights to the residents of rural inhabited areas. Addressing the UN General Assembly on the 25th of last month, Mr Modi had said that the scheme will pave the way for using property as a financial asset by villagers for taking loans and other financial benefits.

It is aimed at demarcating inhabited lands in rural areas through the latest surveying drone-technology. The scheme has also provided a boost to the ecosystem of drone manufacturing in the country.
