The Niti Aayog has launched a pilot project in collaboration with the Himachal Pradesh government to improve apple farming using blockchain technology. This initiative aims to ensure quality production and monitor the produce throughout the storage and supply chain. Blockchain can address issues of quality and traceability that have hindered India's food exports. Following the pilot, the technology will be expanded to other crops like mangoes, bananas, grapes, and pomegranates. This project leverages IoT sensors to track crop data and distribution, enabling consumers to verify product quality.
J. Jharkhand
One of Jharkhand's main development strategies is to ensure sustainable agricultural and rural progress. Key crops include paddy, maize, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, potato, and vegetables, with high-quality seeds being vital for farmers' livelihoods. However, issues like spurious seeds and delayed distribution have impacted sowing cycles and yields. To address these challenges, the Jharkhand government has implemented a blockchain-based "Seed Traceability" platform, ensuring transparency and security in seed distribution. This system records each transaction, providing real-time visibility from demand creation to distribution. The platform connects various stakeholders through a robust digital ledger, ensuring efficient seed distribution and continuous program improvement. This initiative makes Jharkhand the first state in India to deploy such advanced technology for agricultural benefit.
K. Karnataka
Karnataka has implemented several blockchain projects to enhance transparency and efficiency:
1. Karnataka State Drugs Logistic and Warehousing Society: Blockchain technology is used to record all transactions of drug supplies. Each stakeholder's register (ledger) is updated whenever a drug is supplied, purchased, or issued, ensuring complete surveillance without a central authority to manipulate records. http://dlc.kar.nic.in
2. Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board and Karnataka Pre-University Education Examination Board: Since 2020, SSLC and PUC marks cards are stored on the blockchain, enabling easy verification for students, citizens, and other departments. http://kseeb.karnataka.gov.in/nicblockchain_new
3. Karnataka Directorate of Economics and Statistics: Birth and death certificates have been recorded on the blockchain since April 2022 for easy verification. http://certificatechain.nic.in
4. Revenue Department, GOK: Caste and income certificates have been recorded on the blockchain since January 2018, with about 62 lakh certificates available as of May 2022. Verification can be done via http://certificatechain.nic.in
L. Kerala
The Kerala state government has initiated several blockchain projects to enhance transparency, efficiency, and security across various sectors. Notably, the Kerala Blockchain Academy (KBA), launched in 2017, promotes education, research, and industry collaboration using Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. In 2018, a blockchain-based supply chain management system was piloted to improve transparency and traceability in agriculture, utilizing Hyperledger Fabric. The Digital Health Records project, started in 2019, aims to create secure and interoperable health records using Hyperledger Fabric. In the same year, the government deployed blockchain for Land Records Management to prevent fraud and ensure tamper-proof records, also leveraging Hyperledger Fabric. The Public Distribution System (PDS) pilot in 2020 focused on enhancing the efficiency and transparency of food grain distribution with Hyperledger Fabric. Additionally, blockchain-based certification for educational institutions, launched in 2020, uses Ethereum to securely issue and verify academic certificates. These initiatives reflect Kerala's commitment to using blockchain technology to improve governance and public services.
