Blockchain-Based Land Record System for Nepal
1. Introduction & Problem Statement
Overview: Design a tamper-proof land record management system using blockchain to address Nepal's land dispute problem. Integrates with existing LRIS (Land Revenue Information System).
Background Context (Nepal): Nepal has a severe land dispute problem — 60%+ of court cases involve land. Existing LRIS is prone to manipulation. Blockchain provides immutability and transparency.
2. Research Objectives
- ›Analyze existing LRIS system and its vulnerabilities
- ›Design blockchain architecture for land records
- ›Develop smart contracts for ownership transfer
- ›Build interface for land registration offices
- ›Conduct security and performance evaluation
3. Proposed Methodology
- Study of existing LRIS and land laws
- Stakeholder interviews — land registration offices, citizens
- Hyperledger Fabric implementation
- Smart contract development for transfer, ownership, disputes
- Performance and security testing
