In the recent time, Blockchain Technology has emerged as a key driver in transforming governance in India.

• Blockchain is a distributed, transparent, secure, and immutable database that functions like a ledger of records or transactions, resistant to tampering and accessible across a network of computers.

Key Role of Blockchain Technology in Governance 

• Property Chain: Blockchain-powered Property Management System ensures that every property transaction is securely recorded on the blockchain.
  • This transparency helps prospective buyers verify ownership, rights, and liabilities, significantly reducing litigation and expediting dispute resolution.
• Certificates and Document Chain: E.g., National Informatics Centre (NIC) has built a ‘Certificate Chain’ for secured storage and retrieval of records.
• Logistics Chain: All transactions in the supply chain are recorded in a tamper-proof ledger, ensuring traceability and accountability at every stage. E.g., Online Supply Chain Management System for medicines (Aushada) of Karnataka
• Judiciary Chain: Blockchain facilitates electronic delivery of notices, summons, and bail orders, reducing delays and eliminating manual dependencies.
• Inter-Operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS): Over 39,000 ICJS documents have been verified on the blockchain platform, as of October 2025.
