  Chhattisgarh has always taken proactive steps in adopting digital technologies for better enablement of e-Governance. Thus, being the IT nodal agency, CHiPS (Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society) has been exploring emerging technologies that could transform and improve landscape of public service delivery in the state, and Blockchain technology has been its primary focus. Various states and countries have deployed Blockchain technology for limited use-cases, whereas many states are inviting startups to conduct proof-of-concepts and pilots. The idea is to explore this nascent technology and identify suitable use-cases where its introduction could add some positive value. The proof-of-concepts and pilots also help the state in gaining insights on the prerequisites and necessities that will be coming during statewide implementation stage.

      

With this view in mind, CHiPS is organising a 'Chhattisgarh: Blockchain for e-Governance Grand Challenge’, where national and international startups, companies, and students will be encouraged to develop proof-of-concepts (PoCs) in selected 4 domains, and get a chance to work in future collaborations with the state along with designated prizes. The winners in each of the 4 domains/use-cases will be given a cash prize, with a total amounting to INR 14 lakh. Use-cases from 3 domains are outlined below, and the 4th use-case will be kept open to invite participants to come up with their own innovative use-cases for governance/ public sector and the proposed solutions.
