Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel eliminated the Rs 200 fee for SVAMITVA ownership certificates in Gujarat state. Rural residents will receive property documentation at no cost under this revised policy. The government allocated Rs 50 crore to support free distribution of these legal documents. Approximately 25 lakh rural beneficiaries across Gujarat will gain from this financial relief measure. This decision removes monetary barriers that previously prevented access to formal property rights.
The SVAMITVA scheme employs drone technology to map village lands and create official property cards. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched this nationwide program through the Ministry of Panchayati Raj. Gujarat becomes among the first states offering completely free property documentation to rural communities. The initiative targets small and middle-income households living in village areas. Formal ownership proof enables bank loans, inheritance claims, and secure property investments.
Rural areas house 42.2 million people, representing 57.4 percent of Gujarat's total population. Agriculture remains the primary economic activity for most village residents throughout the state.
