Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched the physical distribution of property cards under the ''SVAMITVA'' (ownership) scheme via video conferencing and asserted that it is a "historic move" set to transform rural India.
The move will pave the way for villagers to use the property as a financial asset for taking loans and other financial benefits.
