NKDA Birth & Death Certificate in Blockchain

Category: Citizen Service Delivery

Project Features:
The Blockchain based Birth/Death certificate issued by New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) ensures
high level of integrity and trust. All the data of the certificate issued is embedded in form of transaction in linked Blocks
in the decentralized distributed network of nodes. The record is cryptographically secured with easy verifiability. The
data is tamperproof and immutable in the nodes which effectively addresses any challenge of cyber-attacks on the
centralized databases. All transactions recorded in the Blockchain based ledger are transparent and impossible for
anyone with any access role in the network to update in the associated Blockchain based ledger.

Some of the advantages are as follows:
o Real-time view of the birth and death registrations
o Aggregate data would be easily available
o Increase transparency and accountability
o Removal of redundancies and deduplication
o A simple and credible process to check authenticity with timestamp
o Availability of documents in digital format ensuring records in perpetuity
