Modernizing and Revolutionizing Land Record Management with Blockchain

Abstract

In the modern era, access to land records has become essential, enabling individuals to verify land ownership for both personal and business purposes. In India, managing land records has proven to be a formidable challenge given the country's vast population. The current system has suffered from incomplete registries, which, in turn, has facilitated fraudulent activities. Moreover, the existing government system is plagued by inconsistencies and involves numerous intermediaries with access to the records, raising concerns about unauthorized alterations. With the increasing acceptance of blockchain technology, the government is actively exploring its implementation to address these issues. In a world moving towards Web 3.0, integrating land records into a blockchain offers significant advantages, primarily through enhanced transparency. This approach ensures that citizens have unhindered access to land records, complete with visual representations on maps, promoting greater inclusivity and accountability
