🏡 PM Swamitva Yojana: Securing Property Rights for Rural India

G GOWTHAM
The PM Swamitva Yojana, launched by the government of India, aims to provide land ownership rights to rural homeowners. Under this scheme, residents of villages can get legal ownership documents for their properties, helping them access credit and prevent disputes over land.

This scheme is especially beneficial for those who don’t have proper documentation for ancestral or inherited property.

📌 Who Can Benefit from PM Swamitva Yojana?

The scheme targets villagers who own residential property but lack formal land titles. Key beneficiaries include:

  • Individuals living in ancestral homes without legal documents.
  • Residents who want to avoid future land disputes.
  • Rural homeowners seeking loans or financial assistance using property as collateral.
📄 Don’t Have Documents? Here’s How PM Swamitva Yojana Helps

One of the biggest challenges in rural areas is the lack of legal proof for ancestral homes. PM Swamitva Yojana addresses this through:

Survey and Mapping:

The government conducts drone-based surveys to map every property in the village.

Each property is digitally recorded, regardless of whether formal documents exist.

Issuance of Property Cards:

After mapping, each homeowner receives a Property Card, which serves as legal proof of ownership.

This card is recognized by banks and government authorities.

Conflict Resolution:

Villages without formal records can resolve disputes using the survey data.

Reduces legal complications for families with ancestral homes.
