India issues over 5.8 million property rights cards to rural homeowners across 50,000 villages.
The Indian government is issuing over 5.8 million SVAMITVA property cards to rural homeowners, providing legal ownership rights in 50,000 villages across 12 states. Launched in 2020, the scheme uses drone technology to map land and aims to enhance financial inclusion and reduce disputes. Prime Minister Modi will address the virtual event, while 13 ministers will attend state-level events. The scheme covers 92% of target villages but faces criticism over joint family and community land ownership issues.
