New Delhi, January 18 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 18 distributed over 65 lakh property cards under the Svamitva Scheme via video conferencing in Delhi."Today is a very historic day for the villages of the country and for the rural economy of the country. Governors of many states have joined this program. Chief Ministers of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, UP, Maharashtra and Gujarat have also joined us...All the colleagues associated with thousands of Gram Panchayats, lakhs of beneficiaries of the ownership scheme. This is such a wide and huge program in itself and you all have joined with great enthusiasm. I congratulate all of you...In the 21st century, there are so many challenges like climate change, water shortage, health crisis, epidemics. But the world has been facing one more big challenge. This challenge is of property rights. Many years ago, the United Nations had done a study on land property in many countries of the world. This study revealed that in many countries of the world, people do not have proper legal documents for property. The United Nations clearly said that if poverty is to be reduced, then it is very important for people to have property rights...India was not untouched by this big challenge, our situation was also the same. Despite having property worth lakhs and crores of rupees in the villages of India, it was not worth that much. The reason was that people often did not have legal documents for their houses, so there were disputes about the ownership of the house. In many places, powerful people would occupy the houses,” said PM Modi.
