India to adopt Ethereum blockchain to avoid certificate forgery; says government of Maharashtra

A new collaboration with LegitDoc areas India amongst early adopters to carry out an e-governance system for college.

The Government of Maharashtra recently announced a partnership with Indian blockchain start-up LegitDoc to apply a credentialing system powered by Ethereum to provide tamper-proof diploma certifications.

To counter the surge in file forgery, the Maharashtra State Board of Skill Development (MSBSD) opposes India’s crypto restriction story of using Ethereum-based public blockchains.

In an exclusive statement with Cointelegraph, LegitDoc Chief Executive Officer Neil Martis highlighted that while the certificates are verified utilizing typical manual techniques, MSBSD will certainly start advocating only the electronic verification method for all the manual requests beginning next year.

Showcasing interest from other local government authorities, Martis included:

We have an active work order from the Government of Karnataka (Department of Information Technology and Biotechnology). We are in talks with the Government of Telangana (school education department) and the Higher & Technical education department of Maharashtra to implement LegitDoc for their student community.

Mainstream institutions such as the National Institute of Technology (Surathkal) and also Ashoka University are in talks to implement a comparable option for countering the ongoing forgery of documents, Martis stated.

The partnership with LegitDoc places India among early adopters to implement an e-governance system for education with the Massachusetts Institute of Innovation, Malta, and Singapore.

Pointing out blockchain’s capability in suppressing forgery related to document imitation, Anil Jadhao, chairman of MSBSD, pointed out:

In the last 10 years, there has been a rampant increase in forgery of government-issued documents which have caused huge financial and reputational losses to the stakeholders involved.

Following up on MIT’s implementation of the tamper-proof blockchain diploma, Cointelegraph reported Stuart Madnick’s point of view that blockchain includes its distinct set of obstacles.

As a word of caution, Madnick suggested:

The bottom line is that while the blockchain system represents advances in encryption and security, it is vulnerable in some of the same ways as other technology, as well as having new vulnerabilities unique to blockchain. In fact, human actions or inactions still have significant consequences for blockchain security.
