Answer: Ministry of Panchayati Raj
Notes: The SVAMITVA Scheme, which stands for Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas, recently completed 5 years. It was launched on 24 April 2020 on National Panchayati Raj Day by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj as a Central Sector scheme. The scheme uses drones and mapping technology to give legal ownership papers for houses and land in villages. This helps villagers get loans, settle property disputes, and improve local planning. It is implemented by the Survey of India with National Informatics Centre Services Inc. (NICSI) as the technology partner. The scheme has a total budget of ₹566.23 crores from financial year 2020-21 to 2024-25, now extended to 2025-26.
