SVAMITVA

Property cards scheme has given a sense of relief to the farmers and also to the people who hold their land records. With the introduction of SVAMITVA they can now access revenue records any time.

Srinagar becomes the first district in the country to achieve 100 percent saturation under SVAMITVA.

SVAMITVA is like a property card with legal sanctity, an authoritative source reflective of the record of ownership/possession. The scheme encompassing the length and breadth of the Union Territory involves the use of the most modern technology for surveys, extraction of data and final compilation of the records for public use. These are the latest initiatives in the government of India’s reforms in Land Records.

The technology based scheme is changing the rural landscape in terms of quick and convenient access to the land owners, especially those living in abadi-deh. The initiative also helps in eliminating corruption and hence, it is another step towards people-friendly, transparent, corruption-free governance as promised to people of J&K.

SVAMITVA is a Central Sector Scheme of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj , launched nation-wide by the Prime Minister on National Panchayati Raj Day, 24th April 2021 after successful completion of pilot phase of scheme (2020-2021) in 9 states.

The Scheme helps in establishment of clear ownership of property in rural inhabited (Abadi) areas, by mapping of land parcels using drone technology and providing ‘Record of Rights’ to village household owners with issuance of legal ownership cards (Property cards/Title deeds) to the property owners.
