LAHORE: Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) on Monday expanded ‘Maryam Ke Dastak’ programme to 40 districts across the province offering over 70 government services.

PITB Chairman Faisal Yousaf presided over a progress review meeting of the programme.

‘Maryam Ke Dastak’ offers government services such as domicile certificates, FIR copies, birth certificates, learner’s driving licenses, and e-Stamping through the PITB-developed ‘Dastak Doorstep Delivery App’ and web portal.

Citizens can avail these services directly at their doorsteps, reducing the need to visit government offices ensuring greater convenience, especially for women, the elderly, and working professionals. Citizens can also avail these services by calling the helpline at 1202.

Mr Yousaf said that the initiative aims to improve service delivery through trained representatives, providing a more efficient and citizen-friendly experience.
