A Salute to Blockchain on National Technology Day.
May 11, 1999, was the day India launched its first nuclear test in Pokhran making it
Part of an aristocratic group of countries possessing nuclear weapons.
More symbolically, the achievement represented India’s gigantic contribution to the field of science and technology. No small wonder that the prevailing government during that time designated May 11, as World Technology Day, to commemorate the achievements and contributions of scientists and technologists. Just as our nuclear success has left permanent footprints in the sands of time, so too does educational distinction have the potential to powerfully build a nation’s economy And then, when education and pioneering technology fuse, the outcome will be ground-breaking.
Welcome to Web 3.0 and Blockchain
Web 3.0 and blockchain are the future. They are game-changing. More so, in these pandemic times, when online education and digitization have become the new normal even as the dark side of the cyber world lurks in the shadows.
There is no escaping that in India, many “degree mills” providing illegitimate academic degrees, diplomas, or PhDs exist. Even though, presenting fake degree certificates is a punishable offence, under the Fraud Act, 2006, that can result in imprisonment of up to ten years.
To tackle this challenge and other security-related ones, educational institutes are adopting pioneering Blockchain & Web 3.0 technologies, as they shift from physical to digital issuance of credentials.
Blockchain has been developed as one of the essential technological layers of Web 3.0. It is responsible for facilitating trust in a trustless virtual landscape.
Web 3.0, on the other hand, is futuristic third-generation internet technology. With Web 3.0, websites and apps can smartly process information using artificial intelligence, machine learning,ry65 big data, and blockchain technologies.
