Abstract
Management of land and revenue records has been going on since time immemorial. From the dawn human settlement which began with neo lithic age with the discovery of wheel and pottery system human lives come to an ease as they learn agriculture. As per the study conducted by Centre for ecological economics and natural resources (CEENR), the evolution of land takes place in the mid-Paleozoic era, between 480 and 360 million years ago. It is an important development in History with far-reaching consequences for the evolution of terrestrial organisms. Human beings started inhabiting South Asia approximately 30,000 years ago. Around 7000 B.C., the known Neolithic settlements appeared on the subcontinent in Mehrgarh and other sites in western Pakistan. These gradually into the Indus valley civilization. So in precise we can say that from new Stone Age (neo-lithic) to copper age to this postmodern electronic age of knowledge economy and information society, the improvements and changes in the administration and management of land records have been made from time to time. At present, once again the need for improvement and new thinking in this system is being felt. In the twenty first, technical intervention will be an integral part of these reforms. With the advancement in technology, we have shifted to paperless mode so much as all the record is being digitized and every service is being provided through online mode. There is a need to make use of Block Chain technology in offices for record (information/data) building, storage and issuance of documents/ certificates etc. in a safe, secure and tamper proof manner. The same technology may be used in revenue department for temper proof revenue extracts; mutations; registration etc. which may help in resolving day to day ownership disputes. Block chain Technology is one of the various technologies that can prove to be vital in the management of land records and revenue records. The traditional land record management system is a slow and laborious process, involves many intermediaries and have maximum chances of fraudulent and fake land entries or transfers. The data of the land is to be stored in a single place leading to security issues also. Block chain is a perfect domain for the land record management, preservation and land transfer process. In this study, a land registration system using block chain is proposed to overcome the traditional limitations of land registration and management system. Land being an important source of asset based production, the use of block chain technology can help to improve this sector in its work implementation as well as its characteristics significantly for a seamless and hassle free work flow to achieve a reliable system. Block chain is a way of passing data (such as records, events or transactions) from one party to another in a very secure way. It is an electronic record of information that requires digital security. All data stored in the block chain is immutable. Once a piece of data enters into a block chain, it is practically impossible to alter its value. The block chain has changed the model from centralized way of traditional business to the decentralized model of the block chain, which means there it can run without any central authority. It works on peer to peer model rather than peer-mediator-peer. It has thus become the most used model in different industries such as construction industry, banking sector, capital markets, cybersecuirty, health care and pharmaceuticals, agriculture, telecom, insurance sector, real estate and governance etc. as it is the safest, fastest, transparent and it is also the most comfortable to implement. As per the report and data published by FIAN International in November 2020, it has been extensively used in mapping of the digitization projects in the land sector by countries like Australia, Canada, Georgia, Honduras, Japan, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, USA, Ukraine, Bangladesh, India etc.
