Nearly three in 10 surveyed rural properties outside records; Karnataka plans to integrate e-Swathu with Centre’s Svamitva Yojana
The Karnataka Revenue Department is set to integrate its e-Swathu property records system with the Centre’s Svamitva Yojana to streamline rural property information. A pilot study revealed that nearly 30% of surveyed properties are not included in official records, highlighting discrepancies between drone survey data and existing land records. The integration aims to enhance property mapping, improve governance, and facilitate better access to loans for rural residents.
- ▪The integration will include features like sketches and geo-site images that are currently unavailable in e-Swathu.
- ▪A pilot study found that only 45% of properties surveyed under the Svamitva scheme have proper digital records in e-Swathu.
- ▪Three out of ten surveyed properties remain outside the official property records system despite being mapped.
