The acronym SVAMITA stands for Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas.
It is a Central Sector Scheme (100% by Union Government) implemented by Union Ministry of Panchayat Raj
It is aimed at “providing ‘record of rights’ to village household owners possessing houses in inhabited rural areas in villages and issuance of property cards to the property owners.”
The government aims to provide such property cards to each household in the next three to four years in every village across the country.
The plan is to survey all rural properties using drones and prepare GIS based maps for each village.
