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
