The Indian public sector is pivotal in country’s governance and public welfare. It is worth noting, there are significant number of intermediaries involved in execution of tasks that are compromising data transparency. Currently the public sector banks lack standardization and validation as major obstacles in the deployment of Block chain Technology. The research paper explores the scope and effectiveness of blockchain technology in India’s public sector through an in-depth empirical study. It investigates the transformative potential of blockchain adoption on public administration, using a combination of surveys, interviews, and case studies. The paper examines how blockchain can improve transparency, simplify processes, and tackle issues like fraud and corruption. Additionally, it discusses the key factors required for successful blockchain implementation, including security, regulatory compliance, skill enhancement, interoperability, and collaborative efforts. Insights from both seasoned public sector professionals and newcomers provide a diverse range of perspectives on the potential of blockchain technology. The paper presents policy recommendations, strategies, and capacity-building initiatives specifically designed for the Indian context. It emphasizes the need for flexible regulations, collaborative partnerships, and skill development to fully leverage the capabilities of blockchain. Furthermore, the research envisions a future where blockchain technology strengthens the Indian public sector with more efficient governance, increased accountability, and services centered around citizens.
