The Punjab government has distributed ownership rights cards to 390 families in Sidhuwal village of Patiala Rural under its ‘Mera Ghar Mere Naam’ initiative, aimed at providing legal ownership rights to residents who have been living in their homes for years without formal documentation.
Punjab Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh shared the information in a post on X, stating that the cards were distributed during a programme organised in the village. He said the initiative had helped fulfil a long-standing demand of families who had been waiting to receive formal recognition of their ownership rights.

The distribution of ownership cards is intended to provide families with official documentation of their residential property rights. For households that have lived in their homes for generations without formal ownership papers, such recognition can offer greater security and clarity regarding their property.
Dr Balbir Singh said that thousands of families had been able to realise their long-awaited dream of securing ownership rights through the Mann government’s initiative. He also noted that residents of Sidhuwal expressed gratitude to the state government for addressing their demand.
Mera Ghar Mere Naam Initiative
The ‘Mera Ghar Mere Naam’ initiative focuses on providing ownership rights to eligible residents living in houses within inhabited village areas, helping them obtain formal recognition of their homes. The programme seeks to address long-standing property documentation issues and strengthen the sense of security among beneficiary families.
The distribution of 390 cards in Sidhuwal marks another step in implementing the initiative at the village level. The programme also highlights the importance of property documentation in enabling families to establish their legal claims over residential assets.
