Applications of Blockchain Technology in India:

A Blockchain and a government have a lot of striking similarities between them. Like a Blockchain, a government has several nodes (State Government bodies, District Government bodies, et cetera). Each node performs various tasks, stores the data, and accesses the data on network. Traditionally all these nodes are performing their task in their network.
