The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kanpur hosted its 54th convocation event as a body event earlier this week, and saw the launch of digital university-based blockchain degrees. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the event and presented them to IIT students.
Blockchain-Based Degrees New Trend?
IIT Kanpur students have obtained digital degrees based on blockchain technology developed by IIT-K under the National Blockchain Project in India. Therefore, these digital degrees are highly secure, internationally certified, and non-invasive, according to the latest reports.
However, it remains to be seen how secure they will be as the blockchain may be prone to security breaches.After the imbizo event, the Premier continued to open the completed section of the Kanpur Metro Rail Project. “Today is a day of double happiness in Kanpur.
On the one hand, Kanpur acquires a municipal train, and on the other hand, the tech world also receives valuable gifts from IIT Kanpur, "said Prime Minister Modi during the event.
Speaking of the operation of blockchain-based digital technology, it operates across a nationally distributed network. It means that there is no central agency that controls the database but a distributed network of nodes.
This basic technology helps to keep student records safe, reducing the risk of interference. Student records are in chronological order with time stamps and other information required.
In addition, the digital degree system also makes managing student records much easier compared to conventional physical copying methods.
Also, students will be able to access their marks, transfer certificates, and other documents remotely, anywhere. The blockchain system also reduces the cost of maintaining and maintaining student portable records and helps teachers create a specific curriculum automatically.
In addition to introducing blockchain-based digital degrees, Modi also advises students to keep in touch with people and improve their coding skills. In addition,
Modi spoke about the culture of initiation in India and how government programs such as Startup India, Stand Up India, and other programs such as the Atal Innovation Mission and the PM Research Scholarship "prepare the youth for a new road" for the country.
