** Land in India Recorded with Blockchain, Can Avoid Agrarian Conflicts**
The city of Dantewada in India has adopted the Avalanche blockchain to record land ownership. This is done to modernize 7 million land records from the 1950s that provide document security, reduce costs, and facilitate easy access for citizens.
District Collector of Dantewada Mayank Chaturvedi revealed that citizens in the city have faced significant delays in accessing their land records for decades. Residents also have to wait for weeks to carry out verifications.
“By digitizing these records and securing them on the blockchain, we have ensured that these records are easily accessible and cannot be tampered with,” said Chaturvedi.
The city is using the LegitDoc application based on Zupple Labs. With this technology, officials can verify several types of records such as mutations, plots, ownership details, cadastral maps, rights records, and others.
CEO of Zupple Labs Neil Martis revealed that his company's output tools can enhance transparency with secure ownership records. This is claimed to reduce land-related conflicts and ensure fair land governance.
