Telangana, An Indian State to Explore the Blockchain-Based E-voting Platform

August 13, 2020 by Yvette Mwendwa

The Telangana State Government has shown an interest in creating a blockchain-based e-voting platform to be used by local and national governments, enabling voters to cast their votes remotely and privately. In his webinar speech dubbed ‘Exploring Blockchain for Remote Voting,’ the  Principal Secretary of Information Technology  Jayesh Ranjan said that e-voting would first be attempted on a small scale and then extended to the national government. The Webinar was hosted by the Tamil Nadu E-Governance Agency and the Election Commission of India. 

Mr Ranjan calls for state governments to team up and improve the technology

In attendance were India’s public engagement site MyGov, Ministry of Electronics and IT, and organizations working in the blockchain sector. Notably, the Deccan Chronicle reported that the meeting aimed to reflect on the likelihood of implementing blockchain technology in rolling out an e-voting platform for Indian states.

In his further statement, Ranjan claimed that state governments could work together with the approval of the Election Commission of India to improve the technology of facial recognition and encryption tools.

He noted that state governments might use their influence to persuade small institutions, such as sports associations, cultural associations, and neighborhoods, to hold elections through a blockchain-based e-voting platform. When there are enough users, they will move on to persuade the national government.

Ranjan indicated that there should be a requirement for this specific type of technology and one needed to illustrate specific shortcomings that can be addressed through a blockchain-based e-voting platform. Besides, he said an example of Telangana state government T-chits that use blockchain to control chit funds across the state.

Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency, CEO, and E-Commerce Commissioner Santosh K Misra approved e-voting to be started on a small scale and extended over time.  He noted that there was a need to develop faith among the public in the light of e-voting systems by emphasizing user engagement.

Telangana and Tech Mahindra Embark on Creating ‘Blockchain capital’ With Latest Accelerator Launch

February 20, 2020 by Akash Anand

The usage of blockchain technology has been on the rise due to multiple organizations running to adopt it. This sentiment has also reached the shores of India where there is a ban on cryptocurrencies.

New reports now state that mainstream Indian companies were taking their interest in blockchain technology to the next level. Tech Mahindra announced that they will be partnering with the Telangana government to launch their own blockchain accelerator.

Tech Mahindra stated that the T-Block Accelerator will be a first of its kind innovation to boost growth in the state of Telangana, India. The launch was conducted in association with the Telangana Blockchain District, the state government and IBC Media.

The Telangana government informed people about the positives of the launch and claimed that the development would enable it to become the “blockchain capital of the world”. Rajesh Dhuddu, the Global Practice Leader of Blockchain at Tech Mahindra said:

“As part of our TechMNxt charter, we at Tech Mahindra have been bullish in our efforts to expand blockchain adoption in India and globally. Our partnership with the state government for the Telangana Blockchain District stems from our desire to build a world-class support infrastructure for blockchain startups and make Hyderabad a destination of choice among several new-age entrepreneurs and blockchain evangelists.”

To carry forward the idea of a “blockchain capital”, the Government of Telangana and Tech Mahindra had signed an MoU back in 2018. According to the MoU, the private company could take steps and measures to propagate blockchain use across the country. Companies interest in being a part of the Accelerator could register for it since February 3. Selected companies will then be subject to a one-week boot camp followed by a four-week long intensive training program.

The advancements made at the state level are expected to carry forward and create a more holistic central structure. The accelerator program plans to provide substantial concessions and benefits, tax relief as well as state-sponsored cloud storage subsidies.

The interest to bring blockchain to the state has been ingrained into the state’s laws. Just recently, changes were made in the district policy that provided for the creation of a regulatory sandbox. Along with this, the government also plans to establish educational initiatives and a Research and Development Institute.
