Punjab Revenue and Rehabilitation Minister Hardip Singh Mundian stated that the ‘Mera Ghar Mere Naam’ (Swamitva) scheme is being implemented across the state to grant ownership rights to occupants of plots within Lal Dora in rural areas. The scheme is expected to be completed by next year.
Responding to a question raised by Amargarh MLA Prof. Jaswant Singh Gajjanmajra in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Minister Hardip Singh Mundian explained that Swamitva is a central scheme aimed at providing ownership rights to individuals residing in Lal Dora areas of villages.
Minister Hardip Singh Mundian further highlighted that the scheme also focuses on creating computerized records of rights and GIS-based mapping of populated village areas. To facilitate this, the Punjab Population (Record of Rights) Act and Rules were enacted in 2021, granting legal recognition to the records prepared under the scheme. The Survey of India is using drone technology to create GIS maps, and a dedicated software/portal has been developed for this purpose.
