PUNE: The district leads the tally of joint property card ownership in Maharashtra with nearly 88% of households co-owned by men and women, government records revealed.
A special initiative by the Pune Zilla Parishad has entailed that out of the 9.27 lakh property cards, nearly 8.15 lakh have names of both men and women. The update drive started at the gram panchayat-level last year with a series of awareness campaigns carried out by self-help groups, which first resulted in the revision of the property tax receipts of the gram panchayat and then reflecting on the property cards.
