The Indian Railways Incorporates Blockchain Technology

The Indian Railways has taken the absolute landmark decision to incorporate blockchain technology for the first time. This followed the conduct of a highly educational and informative workshop at the National Academy of Indian Railways (NAIR), based in Vadodara, Gujarat. This very exercise was carried out along with ChainCode Consulting as well as Polygon.

In the course of the workshop, there happened to be officials from the zonal offices of Indian Railways who took an active part. They were educated on the significance of blockchain as well as the new-age technology that will be instrumental in the overall enhancement of the functioning of the railways. Several use cases were discussed, as well as the obstacles faced by the officers and the railway ecosystem on the whole.

    Backup your life with the blockchain

    Growing up my family was always moving homes. I've never had somewhere I could really call my own. Like many other people whose families have rented home to home their entire lives, you soon realise how much of a hassle it is to have a lot of belongings. It's why I prefer to throw away a lot of my keepsakes or momentos and while it's nice to be able to look back at something that reminds you of a former time in your life. It soon starts getting impractical. There's no possible way you can hold on to every keepsake you accumulate in your life. You might have visions of sharing some of your favourite memories with your grandkids but most of the time those old drawings, trophies, shirts or whatever other item you find valuable soon get eaten away by the cruel nature of time.
