Pm Swamitva Yojana
The villages often remain to be a regressive unit as there isn’t much governmental involvement in these areas. Village issues are often left unheard as local governments are caught up solving urban issues as urban matters involve a higher budget and a misstep could impact governmental finances.
In order to reach out to rural areas more effectively, the government of India under Prime Minister Modi launched the PM Swamitva Yojana – a portal for the village society where they can get information and it is also an e-village platform where farmers will be able to see information about their land online with just a few clicks.
Need for the scheme
The need for the scheme arose due to a common recurrent problem of government not having a proper record of land ownership in the rural areas of the nation. This also made implementation of certain schemes all the more difficult.
PM Narendra Modi initiated the PM Swamitva Yojana, which is a scheme that aims to hand over the papers of ownership of land which is owned by people across 763 villages.
This scheme also aims to put to rest land disputes and it will offer land owners a digital card alongside the ownership papers certified by the government.
