To provide jobs to the youth, the Punjab government, under the directives of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, has begun registration for representatives for the Dastak Programme.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz stated that the government plans to expand the Dastak Programme to all districts of the province gradually. The initiative, which initially offered 10 services, is set to expand to 65 services.
Registration for hundreds of Dastak representatives has already started.
The Dastak Programme aims to provide services directly to people’s doorsteps, reducing the need for public visits to government offices. Maryam Nawaz stated that this initiative will help eliminate corruption and exploitation.

She also highlighted Punjab’s progress in digitalization, which is expected to bring positive changes to society by leveraging information technology and artificial intelligence.
Under this programme, youth representatives will serve as facilitators, offering doorstep services and earning a respectable income. To be eligible for the Dastak Programme, candidates must have an original ID card, be at least 18 years old, have a minimum education of intermediate level, and own a mobile phone with internet access.
Furthermore, candidates need a clearance certificate, a personal motorcycle, and a license from the concerned police station. Selected representatives will also receive training to ensure they can effectively deliver services.
