Jitendra Singh Highlights SVAMITVA Scheme for Empowerment
Union Minister Jitendra Singh is excited about the SVAMITVA scheme.
This scheme uses drones to map village land, making it easier for people to know what land they own.
It also means villagers don't have to rely as much on government officials.
The minister also praised the National Geospatial Policy, a plan for how India will use maps from satellites and other tools.
They've also made sure all the maps from different sources match up.
They plan to use Artificial Intelligence to make the mapping even better and share the data with officials to improve citizen services.
Jitendra Singh praised the SVAMITVA scheme, which reduces villagers' dependence on revenue officers.
The SVAMITVA scheme uses drone surveys for village property mapping.
The National Geospatial Policy, 2022, was called a gamechanger for mapping data.
Boundary harmonization has been completed by cross-checking official maps.
AI and Machine Learning are planned for integration to upgrade technology.
