A.P. CM to launch blockchain-based land records system on July 23
The Andhra Pradesh government is launching a blockchain-based land records management system to improve transparency and security in land administration. The pilot project will integrate data from multiple departments to prevent unauthorized changes and data inconsistencies.
Why it matters
Implementing blockchain in government administration represents a significant step toward digitizing public services and reducing corruption in land ownership records.
In a significant step towards modernising land administration, the Andhra Pradesh government will launch a blockchain-based land records management system aimed at enhancing the security, transparency and authenticity of land records.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will virtually inaugurate the ‘Mee Bhoomi–Blockchain’ pilot project from the State Secretariat on July 23 (Thursday).
The pilot will be implemented in seven mandals across seven districts—Kurnool, Chittoor, Bapatla, Krishna, East Godavari, Parvathipuram Manyam and Vizianagaram. Collectors of the participating districts will join the launch virtually.
The initiative seeks to integrate land records maintained separately by the Revenue, Survey and Registration departments into a unified digital platform, creating a single, reliable database for land-related information.
Although land records are already digitised through the Webland platform, the government said maintaining separate databases has led to inconsistencies, data mismatches and difficulties in detecting unauthorised changes.
