The primary objective of the Mera Ghar Mere Naam scheme is to provide eligible families with clear ownership rights, legal recognition, and documentary proof for homes built within the 'Lal Lakir' that were previously left out of government records.
The scheme utilizes drone surveys and modern technology to accurately map properties, identify house boundaries and locations, and prepare reliable ownership-related records to bring greater transparency.
Property card distribution is planned across multiple phases: the first phase covers 2,295 villages including 221 in Sangrur district, the second covers 1,668 villages, while the third and fourth phases are scheduled for November and December respectively.
