As on 11 March 2026, drone survey has been completed in 3.29 lakh villages out of targeted 3.44 lakh villages. Ministry of Panchayati Raj provides funds to Survey of India for completion of drone survey and Maps preparation. Subsequent activities such as ground truthing, preparation and distribution of property cards are undertaken by States/UTs. Ministry of Panchayati Raj is continuously engaging with States/UTs and Survey of India for monitoring the progress of the Scheme and for timely completion of the Scheme.

The SVAMITVA Scheme aims to demarcate rural inhabited land using drone survey and Continuously Operating Reference Stations technology to create high accuracy maps of abadi areas of villages. These highly accurate maps help reduce property-related disputes by clearly demarcating property boundaries and creating Record of Rights. Furthermore, transparent process of ground verification and dispute resolution ensures that ownership records are finalized fairly and accurately.

Ministry of Panchayati Raj does not maintain gender-wise record of number of beneficiaries. However, some states have also provisioned for co-ownership of women in property cards such as Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, J&K, Puducherry, Daman & Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli.
