SVAMITVA Scheme Maps 3.3 Lakh Villages, Unlocks Rs 135 Lakh Crore Rural Land Value

The SVAMITVA scheme, launched in 2020, has digitally mapped around 3.3 lakh villages and issued over 3.14 crore rural property cards, converting informal habitation land into legally recognized assets. An impact study by IIM Ahmedabad, supported by the World Bank, highlights that this has unlocked an estimated Rs 135 lakh crore in rural land value and improved access to institutional credit, with over 10,900 loans worth Rs 1,679 crore sanctioned. The scheme has also enhanced local government revenues and formalized land governance, with notable credit uptake increases in states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.
