New Delhi, The SVAMITVA scheme has digitally mapped around 3.30 lakh villages, covering nearly 70,000 sq km, and enabled the issuance of more than 3.14 crore property cards across 1.89 lakh villages.
The scheme has unlocked an estimated ₹135 lakh crore worth of rural land assets, significantly expanding access to institutional credit, with more than 10,900 loans worth ₹1,679 crore sanctioned using property cards.
The study notes that the scheme has converted previously informal rural habitation land into legally recognised, bankable assets and brought millions into the formal financial system.
The outcomes were highlighted by Vivek Bharadwaj, Secretary in the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, in his virtual address at the World Bank Land and Property Research Conference-2026.
