Maryam Ke Dastak Program 2025: Bringing Government Services to Your Doorstep
The Maryam Ke Dastak Program 2025 is reshaping how people in Punjab access government services. Instead of waiting in long lines or visiting multiple offices, citizens can now get essential services right at home — all through a simple mobile app, website, or phone call. This initiative, launched under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s leadership, is a true revolution in digital governance and public convenience.
A New Era of Public Service Delivery
For decades, getting official documents like birth certificates, property papers, or tax receipts meant hours of travel and waiting. The Dastak Program eliminates that struggle. Now, trained facilitators — known as Dastak Representatives — visit homes to collect documents, verify details, and deliver completed services back to the citizen’s doorstep.
The idea is simple yet powerful: the government should reach out to the people, not the other way around. This approach saves time, reduces corruption, and makes official services accessible to everyone, including the elderly, working women, and people in rural areas.
How the Program Works
The Maryam Ke Dastak App is the main tool behind the program. Citizens can download it from the Google Play Store and register using their CNIC and phone number. Once registered, users can:
-
Select the government service they need — such as certificate issuance, vehicle registration, or tax payment.
-
Book an appointment for a Dastak Facilitator to visit their home.
-
Track the progress of their request in real time.
-
Rate the service after completion for transparency and accountability.
The same services are also available through the official website dastak.punjab.gov.pk and the helpline 1202.
Wide Range of Services
Currently, the Dastak Program offers more than 70 essential government services. Some of the most requested include:
-
Certificates: Birth, death, marriage, divorce, domicile, and character certificates.
-
Vehicle Services: Registration, ownership transfer, and token tax payment.
-
Legal & Administrative: FIR copies, police verifications, driving license renewals, and e-stamping.
-
Social Welfare: Livestock and welfare department services.
With every passing month, more departments are joining the platform, expanding its reach and usefulness across Punjab.
Empowering the Youth with Jobs
Beyond service delivery, this program also provides employment opportunities for the youth. Thousands of young men and women are being hired as Dastak Facilitators. To qualify, applicants must:
-
Be at least 18 years old
-
Have completed intermediate education (FA/FSc/A Levels)
-
Own a smartphone and motorbike
-
Hold a valid driving license and police character certificate
Facilitators earn income on a commission basis for every completed request. This not only provides financial independence but also builds valuable skills in communication, technology, and public service.
Why the Maryam Ke Dastak Program Matters
This initiative is more than just a technological upgrade — it’s a social transformation. By bringing government services to people’s homes, it:
-
Saves time and travel costs for citizens.
-
Reduces corruption and inefficiency through digital tracking.
-
Encourages women’s participation both as users and facilitators.
-
Boosts employment opportunities for educated youth.
-
Promotes transparency through user feedback and ratings.
The vision behind the program is to create a citizen-centric government that values accessibility, fairness, and innovation.
A Step Toward a Smarter Punjab
The Maryam Ke Dastak Program 2025 marks a big leap toward smart governance in Pakistan. With digital tools and community participation at its core, it’s redefining the relationship between the government and its people.
No more crowded offices. No more long queues. No more endless paperwork. With just a few clicks or a quick phone call, the government now comes directly to your doorstep — literally.
In short, this program is not just about efficiency; it’s about dignity, empowerment, and inclusion. It’s a sign that Punjab is moving confidently toward a modern, service-oriented future where every citizen matters.
