Thats why the Government has decided to launch this PM Swamitva Yojna that will help the villagers to get the loan against their Land. Ministry of Panchayati Raj announced that a property card will be made by the State Governments by doing the mapping of properties in right manner. This will help to give the ownership of the property to their real owners. In this way the land owners in the villages will be able to use their property for financial purposes.
