Blockchain- A key player in Digital Transformation

• The Revenue & Disaster Management Department initiated the emerging technology of Blockchain in securing land records.
• The aim is to ensure authenticity and tamper-proof data with full traceability of all transactions.
• Blockchain plays a key part in application modernization to replace centralized data management structures with distributed systems.
• It has the potential to revolutionize how information is stored and transactions are conducted by providing a secure, transparent, and decentralized infrastructure.

​

Blockchain as a whole

Dharitree uses Property Chain Platform

• Integration of Land records with Blockchain a collaborative effort of the Revenue & Disaster Management Department, Government of Assam; Centre of Excellence on Blockchain (CoE) NIC Karnataka, NIC Assam, NIC New Delhi and NGDRS NIC Pune.
• The Property Chain is a Blockchain platform of the NIC, GOI
• Provides flexibility for every state to determine the data format (schema).
• Every property data is uniquely identifiable.
• Property data can be submitted in JSON format.
• The JSON should be digitally signed by the Revenue officers.

• This Blockchain platform is used to integrate the property chain with the following stakeholder’s application :
• Dharitree – in all processes of chitha updation
• NGDRS – property registration
• Bhunaksha – spatial data (ULPIN and GeoJSON coordinates) of land parcels
• Unique Land Parcel Identification no (ULPIN) is taken as the Blockchain ID so that data can be blockchained

Special Data

Key factors of Blockchain Integration

• Textual and spatial land parcel data are hashed and stored in the blockchain.
• Digital signing of data before making transactions in blockchain to ensure security, integrity, and authenticity.
• A list of transactions conducted against a particular land parcel can be retrieved from the blockchain.
• Verification of land record data is possible by comparing the local hashed data with the hashed blockchain data.
• ULPIN is used as a unique identifier for land parcels stored in the blockchain.
• Provisions are made for onboarding multiple stakeholders such as banks, the Agriculture Department, courts, etc. to view the authenticated information from blockchain

• View all time-stamped transactions
• Verify ownership details
• Avoids illegal transactions
• Reduce document verification
• Faster execution of transactions
• Minimizes litigations

Benefits of Blockchain

Blockchain - Value to Government

Blockchain technology can revolutionize interactions between

government and citizens by:

Present Status of Blockchain Implementation in Assam
