SVAMITVA Scheme
SVAMITVA Scheme
- Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched physical distribution of property cards under SVAMITVA scheme on the birth anniversary of two great leaders, Jai Prakash Narayan and Nana ji Deshmukh.
- The beneficiaries of ‘SVAMITVA Scheme’ who have got property cards of their houses will have a right, a legal document of owning their houses.
- The scheme is going to bring historical changes to the villages in the country.
- The country has taken another major step towards an AtmaNirbhar Bharat, as the scheme helps in making rural India self-reliant.
- One lakh beneficiaries from Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh have been handed over the legal papers of their houses and promised to give such property cards to every household in the next three – four years in every village of the country.
- Recalling Nanaji’s words “when the people of the village remain trapped in disputes, neither they will be able to develop themselves nor the society”.
- However, it is believed that the ownership will become a great medium to end many disputes in our villages and plays a big role in the development of the country.
- When there is a record of property, citizens gain confidence and new avenues of investment open. Loan is easily available from the bank on record of property, employment and self-employment avenues open.
- But the difficulty is that today only one third of the population in the world has a record of their property legally.
- The property card will clear the way to buy and sell property without any dispute for the villagers.
- After getting the property card, easy access to loans from banks on their houses would be ensured.
- With the new technology like using drones in mapping and survey, accurate land records of every village can be created. Due to accurate land records, development related work in the village will also be easier which would be another benefit of these property cards.
- ‘SVAMITVA Scheme’ will help in strengthening the Panchayati Raj system for which efforts are underway for the past 6 years.
- SVAMITVA Scheme will make village management easier for our gram panchayats, in a systematic way like municipalities and municipal corporations.
- However, an unprecedented level of development has taken place in the villages in the last 6 years which has not happened in the last seven decades of independence.
- The benefits villagers got in the past 6 years like having a bank account, getting electricity connection, access to toilets, getting gas connection, having a pucca house and having a piped drinking water connection.
- Also the major campaign to connect every village in the country with the optical fiber connection is also going on at a fast pace.
