What is Maryam Ke Dastak ?

Dastak (which literally means "knock" in Urdu) is exactly what the name suggests — the government knocking on your door instead of the other way around.

It's a flagship initiative that connects citizens with trained, government-approved Facilitators who visit your home, help you fill out your application, handle the processing, and even return the final documents to you. Everything is managed through a mobile app, website, or call center, making it one of the most citizen-friendly programs Punjab has ever launched.

The program is also tied to employment generation — Facilitators earn commissions for every completed task, creating real income opportunities for young people across the province

Program Scope & Detailed Structure

🎯 Primary Program Objectives

The Dastak Program is built around five core goals:

Enhanced Accessibility — Citizens shouldn't have to take multiple days off work just to get a document. Dastak eliminates that burden.

Employment Generation — The Facilitator model creates real, flexible income opportunities for educated young people across Punjab.

Seamless Connectivity — Whether you prefer the app, the website, or a phone call, there's a way to access services that works for you.

Transparency and Accountability — GPS tracking of Facilitators and the mutual rating system keep everything honest and trackable.

Efficiency — Digital processing reduces delays and keeps the entire chain — from application to document delivery — organized and on time.
