This project is aligned with the modern needs of decentralization and its related services. There has been a recent deficit of trust in the traditional centralized approach and there is a race toward blockchain tech. The project shall bring about meaningful research and development to the fore, with the latter being the dominant aspect. By developing a record filing system that provides document verification as well as other documentation for land management, this project is aimed to solve problems in this domain.

Storing land records is a hectic task, especially in an agricultural country. The task is done by local land record holders (called ‘Patwaris’ in Urdu) at the bottom tier and then managed formally by local developmental authorities. The authorities are institutions of local government and regulate the whole process of land records. The system has been in place for decades, which makes it prone to old practices and certain malpractices. There is a need for the security of data and documents, while there is a huge gap between non-digitized data and digitized records.

The project is aimed to solve two problems; speed up the process of digitization and allow better security by using blockchain. The team also believes that the recent controversies around blockchain technology can be slowed down and give a boost to work being done in this new tech. The system shall act as a web app that will contain all the functionalities needed to perform the required actions. The app will provide a safe and secure platform for users and administrators to store, retrieve and verify documents while also making rental agreements.

A major step in this project is the selection of the appropriate blockchain and a thorough analysis of all its possibilities and limitations. Numerous blockchains are available for educational, commercial, and personal use, but the constraints and efficiency vary from one chain to another. The newer generation of blockchain claim to be green and thus, demand lesser computing power, which is a plus point in an environmental context. Blockchain comes with its strengths and weaknesses, some may work faster but have a smaller clientele, and vice versa.

The selection of blockchain is a major subject of the first phase of the project, while the second phase will predominantly be focused on development. The first phase shall comprise all the basic functionalities like the software structure, user interface, and a prototype of the front-end part. The development of the database, backend, and the linkages between all three parts combined with the deployment of the code will make up the second part of the project. The tools to be used shall be the MERN stack and the language of the selected blockchain.

The project is aligned with the public sector and uses a technology that is almost unknown in the sector. This piece of work has the scope to work as a stepping stone towards the adoption of decentralized technology and fuel the research and development in this field.
