Indian Railways Implements AI-Driven Workforce Verification System
Indian Railways has begun deploying DRISHTI, an AI and blockchain-powered workforce management system, to verify employee attendance and prevent fraud. Developed by ChainCode Consulting LLP in collaboration with Billions Network and Aptos Foundation, the system uses facial recognition and tamper-proof digital records. It is designed to work offline, making it suitable for remote areas with unreliable internet connectivity. The rollout starts in Prayagraj and is expected to expand across the network. The system aims to address challenges like ghost employee fraud and administrative inefficiencies, which have historically plagued large organizations.
