In the Innovation Sandbox, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj's presentation, "Digital Transformation Initiatives in Land Governance through SVAMITVA Scheme," took home the top honor. The prize was presented during the second annual "Public Policy Dialogues" Conclave, a three-day event organized by the Bharti Institute of Public Policy (BIPP). The scheme uses drone technology to map land parcels and provides village household owners with a "Record of Rights" that includes the issuance of legal ownership cards, also known as title deeds, to property owners. This is a reformative step towards establishing clear ownership of property in rural inhabited ("Abadi") areas.
