Answer 1

Answer:

A. To provide legal ownership to property owners in rural inhabited areas.

The primary objective of the SVAMITVA Scheme is to provide legal ownership rights (Record of Rights) to property owners in rural inhabited areas across India.

It achieves this by using drone technology for large-scale mapping and surveying of rural residential land parcels, which then leads to the issuance of legal Property Cards (Title Deeds) to the household owners.

This move aims to reduce property disputes, enable the monetization of properties as a financial asset (e.g., for bank loans), and facilitate better rural planning.
