New Delhi/Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday 6 October said Madhya Pradesh is pride of India when it comes to implementation of schemes and development.

Madhya Pradesh is a pioneer in digital records and the State has taken rapid strides in the development spehere, the Prime Minister said. He was launching the SVAMITVA Scheme in Madhya Pradesh via video conferencing from New Delhi.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister electronically distributed 1.71 lakh e-property cards to residents of about 3,000 villages in 19 districts.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said availing loans from the banks have become easier with the launch of the PM SVAMITVA scheme. He lauded Madhya Pradesh for the speed with which it has implemented the scheme. Today 1.70 lakh families received cards in 3000 villages of the state. He said that this card will become a vehicle of prosperity for them.

The Prime Minister said though it is often said that the soul of India resides in villages, even decades after the independence, the villages are still in shackles. The power of the villages, the land and the houses of the people of the village could not be fully utilized for their development. On the contrary, the energy, time and money of the people of the village were wasted in disputes, fights, illegal occupations over village land and houses.

The Prime Minister complimented the villages for their performance during the corona period. He noted how the villages of India worked together and tackled the pandemic.

The Prime Minister stated that the SVAMITVA Scheme is not just a scheme to provide property documents, but it is also a new mantra for development and improving trust in the villages of the country with the help of modern technology. “The Udan Khatola (drone) that is flying in villages and localities for the survey is giving a new flight to the villages of India,” he said.

The Prime Minister said the efforts of the government for the last 6-7 years is to make the poor free from dependence on anyone. Now, money is being sent directly to the bank accounts of farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi.
