Big relief for common people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed out over 6.5 million property cards to landowners across more than 50,000 villages in 10 states and 2 union territories under the Swamitva Yojana. He did this during a video conference event on Saturday afternoon. The property cards were given to residents from states like Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
PM Modi emphasized that having proper records of land and homes is crucial for the nation’s growth. He noted that when people have clear ownership of their property, it boosts their confidence. To date, over 12.5 million property cards have been issued.
So, what exactly are property cards?
Property cards are part of a scheme aimed at establishing ownership rights. This initiative digitizes land records in rural areas, helping to minimize land disputes. It also clarifies land ownership, making it easier for farmers to secure loans. The scheme employs modern technologies like drone surveys and GIS to establish clear ownership.
What are the perks of having a property card?
Property cards provide clear proof of ownership for land in villages. They utilize drone technology to accurately map land and its boundaries, ensuring everyone knows who owns what. This initiative has granted legal ownership of ancestral land to countless farmers, empowering them to access loans more easily for their future needs. Overall, it has fostered a sense of security and financial independence among farmers.
