IIT Madras students made history with India’s first student council election using blockchain technology. The initiative, initially a CSR project supported by a prominent tech firm and the Department of Science and Technology, aimed to address Covid-19 challenges. The software, developed for student elections, is now being scaled up for broader use in state and national elections. The software was developed by students from the Webops and Blockchain Club (W&BC) at IIT Madras’ Centre for Innovation (CFI).
