Description

61 winners of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya BAL Puraskar (PMRBP) 2021 and 2022 were recently awarded digital certificates based on block chain technology.

Highlights

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur created the block chain-based technology as part of the "National Block chain Project" (IIT Kanpur).

Director of IIT Kanpur Abhay Karandikar said that in the future, this technology might be utilised to give all certifications and degrees.

Certificates in digital format

The beneficiaries' digital certificates, which are generated using block chain technology, will be kept in digital wallets on their mobile devices. Certificates are unforgivable, globally verifiable, selectively disclosable, and sensitive to user content.

Background

PM Modi launched block chain-based digital degrees at IIT Kanpur during a convocation event on December 28, 2021.

Who is putting this technology into practise?

CRUBN is in charge of implementing digital technologies. CRUBN is a company that specialises in block chain technology. It was started by four IITians:

IIT Kanpur's Nilesh Vasita, IIT Kanpur's Ras Dwivedi, IIT Kanpur's Tanmay Yadav, IIT Kanpur's Mukul Verma, and IIT Bombay's Mukul Verma.

Padma Shri Prof. Manindra Agrawal and Prof. Sandeep K Shukla, who are the joint coordinators of the National Block chain Project under the National Security Council Secretariat, helped create the technology.

The National Block chain Initiative

The National Security Council Secretariat is funding the National Block chain Project to create block chain-based e-governance solutions. The project entails a three-month feasibility assessment to determine whether or not to deploy block chain technology, as well as a research and validation plan and an incubation strategy. Two e-governance applications were chosen in the first phase to illustrate the value of block chain.

Block chain Strategy of Digital Certificate

In December 2021, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology recommended it. It has taken a multi-institutional approach to solving the problem. To provide block chain as a service, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C – DAC), and the National Informatics Centre Services Inc (NICSI) have devised a plan. Using block chain technology, it aims to establish a trustworthy digital platform for providing e-governance services.
