Mera Ghar Mera Naam scheme was launched on 17 October by the Punjab Chief Minister, Charanjit Singh Channi.
The scheme was launched to provide ownership rights to the people living in lal lakir, part of village habitation used for non-agricultural purposes, of cities and villages.
It will also assist those from underprivileged and needy strata.
This scheme has been extended from villages to residents of cities living within the lal lakir.
To implement the scheme, the revenue department has been mandated to undertake drone surveys of these residential properties across the rural and urban areas for digital mapping.
