Minister of State for Rural Development Pemmsani Chandra Sekhar on Tuesday stated that blockchain-based land records are not part of the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), a fully centrally funded initiative launched in April 2016.
He was responding to a question by Warangal Congress MP Kadiyam Kavya, who sought to know whether the Ministry of Rural Development is considering blockchain-based digital land records for farmers in Warangal to streamline subsidy distribution and curb fraud. She also urged the government to explore blockchain technology to ensure transparent access to agricultural subsidies for smallholder farmers.
She further sought details on any pilot projects planned across Telangana’s districts and a timeline for implementing this technology to enhance transparency in rural subsidy programmes.
