Blockchain to streamline land verification for power services
The government is using a special technology called blockchain to make checking land ownership easier and faster.
This will help people get electricity services more quickly and without as much paperwork.
The system connects different government departments so they can all use the same digital records.
This makes the records more reliable and transparent, and it helps plan better for things like electric poles, transmission lines, and solar power projects.
Citizens won't have to submit the same information multiple times, making the process quicker and more convenient.
