Chittoor launches blockchain pilot for tamper-proof land records
Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh has started a pilot project using blockchain technology to make land records more secure and transparent.
This new system will keep a permanent record of any changes made to land records, including who made the change, when it was made, and what was modified.
This will help prevent fake registrations and unauthorized changes.
The pilot is being tested in seven villages, and if successful, it will be expanded to more villages.
Landowners will receive alerts before any changes are made to their records.
The goal is to make land record management and dispute resolution easier and more reliable.
Chittoor district launches blockchain pilot for tamper-proof land records in seven villages.
Every change to revenue records will be permanently recorded, improving accountability.
Landowners will receive alerts via SMS, WhatsApp, and phone calls before any changes.
The pilot project will be studied for 1-2 months before potential expansion.
The system aims to reduce fake registrations and unauthorized changes in land records.
