The system assigns a unique digital ID to land parcels, aiming to curb fraud and integrate various government departments onto a single, tamper-proof platform.
Why it matters
Implementing blockchain for land records is a significant step toward digitizing government administration and reducing corruption in property transactions.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday virtually launched the Mee Bhoomi - Blockchain pilot project which is intended to protect land records, and targeted to be expanded throughout the State from November. Under the project, a unique digital ID will be assigned to every land parcel which makes the records tamper-proof and the transactions secure.
On the occasion, Mr. Naidu said the government was striving to provide a permanent solution to land issues by cleaning up the records and transform Andhra Pradesh into a land litigation-free State. He noted that land litigations were fewer in number compared to Telangana and the menace of double registrations and other types of fraud ought to be fully curbed. The blockchain technology was introduced keeping that goal in mind.
