New Delhi: In a landmark event, PM Modi today launched physical distribution of Property Cards under the SVAMITVA Scheme.  A huge step towards digitalising grassroots, transforming rural India.

“A historic effort towards rural transformation,” PM Modi tweeted. He also said that he is delighted that such great work is being done on a day that has historic importance. “Today, is the birth anniversary of Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan and Nanaji Deshmukh,” PM Modi said at launch event of distribution of property cards.

Here is what PM Modi said:

People who stayed in power for long left villages to fend for themselves; I can’t do that: PM Modi

For decades, crores of families in villages across the country did not have a home of their own. Today, nearly two crore poor families in the villages have got pucca houses: PM Modi

Geotagging has been made compulsory for every infrastructure created for social use, helping the setup at the right places.

Schools, wells, toilets, small reservoirs for water will all be geo-tagged. This will help in clarity of processes and end corruption.

I’m delighted that such great work is being done on a day that has historic importance. Today, is the birth anniversary of Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan and Nanaji Deshmukh: PM Mod

Today, the country has taken another major step towards Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. The ownership plan is going to help a lot in making our brothers and sisters living in the village self-reliant: PM

Now you have a right, a legal document to prove that your house is yours, you own it. This scheme is going to bring a historical change in the villages of our country: PM
