@MC Cullum  As you can see various applications below, none of them can be developed standalone, everything needs to be CONSENSUS BASED taking in confidence of other party which is the foundation of Block chain technology. 

Example of ICICI:
How does ICICI Bank perceive Blockchain as a technology disruption to its existing processes?
Abhijit Singh: We feel this technology is important to us in the long-term, and needs to be invested in. However, we are conscious that Blockchain will thrive only when there is an ecosystem, and other people are working on it.

For Asphalt technology question, copper slag is wrong, it's not 123 but 234...reason being asked is Copper slag is used to lay highways (eg: L&T did it in TN Kerala border) not RURAL ROADS as asked in question.

Infact hot asphalt tech, coconut shells, jute is mixed which makes it environmentally sustainable.


Copper slag is very less produced in India as earlier we were >50% import dependent, now after closure of Sterlite vedanta plant in Tamil Nadu we are 65+ import dependent.


So where is copper slag produced and also to use in rural roads that too...


UPSC Purposely asked RURAL Roads...awesome
