Indian Railways Launches AI-Blockchain Attendance for 1.2M

Indian Railways began rolling out DRISHTI, an AI and blockchain-powered workforce verification system, starting in Prayagraj.
The system uses offline facial recognition and records attendance on the Aptos blockchain, enabling tamper‑proof verification for 1.2 million employees.
Prior government deployments cut ghost‑employee fraud by up to 90%, reduced payroll costs 30‑40% and halved payment delays.
ChainCode Consulting, Billions Network and Aptos Foundation developed DRISHTI, emphasizing security, accountability and scalability.
