AUS (Aarav Unmanned Systems), the leading end to end drone solution start-up has bagged contract for 4 States under the SVAMITVA scheme of the Government of India.

Survey of Villages Abadi & Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas (SVAMITVA) is a Central Government scheme of Ministry of Panchayati Raj to establish clear ownership of property in rural inhabited areas by mapping of land parcels using drone technology and providing ‘Record of Rights’ to village household owners with the issuance of legal ownership cards (Record of Rights) to the property owners.
The scheme covers multifarious aspects viz. facilitating monetisation of properties and enabling bank loan; reducing property-related disputes; comprehensive village level planning would be the stepping-stone towards achieving Gram Swaraj in true sense and making rural India Atmanirbhar.
On winning the prestigious project, Vipul Singh, Founder, and CEO, AUS said, “AUS is proud and excited to have bagged this prestigious project and help fulfill the dream of the government to provide a Record of Rights to village household owners by digitalising land records. The scheme will help in creating wealth and settling disputes at the village level and create accurate land records for the current as well as next. We have currently completed over 5000 villages in UP and Uttarakhand in the last 9 months of deployment. In next couple of months, we will have approximately 100 drones working across villages. The Survey of India is working closely with the government to fulfil the project and we are thankful to SOI to have chosen us. As a company we have been building accurate, intelligent and scalable end to end solutions for exactly such large scale and impactful project. Our mission is to impact 1 billion lives over the next 3 years through our solutions.”
Over last 3 years, AUS has covered more than 40 lakh acres of area for different applications and solved some extremely critical problems for different government departments and private enterprises like Tata Steel, Hindalco etc.
