# BJP chief, CM to launch Swamitva Yojana in Indore on Sept 17 2026-09-17T02:41:47+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BJP national president Nitin Nabin and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will launch Swamitva Yojana in Indore on Thursday. Under the scheme, rights records have been prepared for 68.47 lakh properties in 41,568 villages across the state. The government will register around 50 lakh private properties free of cost, bearing stamp and registration charges. Special registration camps will be held in three phases: September 17-19, September 24-26 and October 1-3. Patwaris have been appointed as execution officers, with tehsildars and revenue inspectors as registration officers. Registered deeds will be sent to beneficiaries via WhatsApp. However, patwaris are refusing to cooperate, demanding they not be named as executants. Patwari Sangh president Upendra Baghel said this could make them parties to future civil suits. Principal secretary (Revenue) E Rameshkumar said all issues had been resolved, as the government remains the original owner of the land. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Swamitva Yojana uses drone-based surveys to create legal title deeds for rural land, a reform long sought to unlock credit access for farmers. Madhya Pradesh has the highest number of rural land records to digitise among Indian states. The patwari dispute is the latest in a series of union resistance to digitisation reforms across states, with similar standoffs in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra in 2023. The key numbers to watch are the final registration tally after the three camp phases and whether the state resolves the executant liability issue before the first camp on 17 September. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, Nitin Nabin, Patwari Sangh, Swamitva Yojana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-chief-cm-to-launch-swamitva-yojana-in-indore-on-sept-17/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
