The SVAMITVA (Survey Village and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) scheme, which stands for Survey Village and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas have transformed citizens into masters of their own destiny, ending decades of dependence on the mercy of revenue officers and patwaris. 

The programme, he noted, has emerged as a global model of citizen-centric governance, enabling self-mapping of land by citizens themselves and inspiring adoption by other countries.

Jharkhand has remained away from this scheme as the state government has stayed away from implementing it.

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh has held a high-level review meeting of the "Survey of India" at the Parliament House. 
He hailed the National Geospatial Policy 2022 as a game-changer that has democratized geo-spatial data, enabling wider accessibility and utility across government and public sectors. 

He pointed out that, in collaboration with the Registrar General of India, the harmonization of boundaries has been completed—marking a milestone in the transformation of the Survey of India in recent years.

The meeting was attended by Secretary, Department of Science & Technology, Dr. Abhay Karandikar, Surveyor General of India Hitesh Kumar S. Makwana, and senior officials from the Department of Science & Technology and Survey of India.
