SVAMITVA Scheme Hits Roadblock in Madhya Pradesh

The Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas (SVAMITVA) scheme has hit a roadblock in Madhya Pradesh.

The director of Panchayat Raj has instructed the revenue department to obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from village panchayats before registering land owned by villagers.

This move may delay the registration process, as obtaining NOC from panchayats can be time-consuming. The decision is expected to increase revenue for panchayats, as they will be able to recover property tax when the NOC is issued.
