Union Council Level
The decision to set up Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) offices at the Union Council level is a significant step. According to information received, BISP Director Naveed Akbar stated that now offices will be opened at the Union Council level to facilitate women in registration and payments. Previously, registration centers were established at the tehsil level, but due to the large geographic scope of tehsils, it was challenging for women to reach these centers. With the establishment of Union Council offices, women will now have easier access for registration and receiving payments

Why are Union Council Offices Necessary?
Previously, it was difficult for women to travel long distances to reach tehsil-level offices, especially in larger tehsils. Additionally, BISP staff were often not sufficiently engaged with women’s needs, making the registration or payment process challenging. The establishment of Union Council-level offices ensures that women can easily access the services they need without facing unnecessary delays and difficulties.
Now, by opening new offices in every Union Council, travel distances will be reduced, and the registration and payment process will improve. This initiative ensures greater convenience for women and encourages broader participation from the local community. These local offices will help ensure that all benefits reach women on time.
Key Benefits of Union Council Offices
Easier Access: Access to registration and payment centers closer to home
Reduced Travel Distance: Minimizes travel for women
Improved Support and Services: Better assistance at the grassroots level
Greater Community Involvement: Increases local participation in BISP activities
Opening offices at the Union Council level will resolve many complaints related to the registration process. Issues often stemmed from long distances, limited service availability, and a lack of attention from staff. By opening closer offices, women will find it easier to register and receive their installments, enhancing their experience with the Benazir Income Support Program.
Conclusion
This new initiative will establish BISP offices at the Union Council level, providing added convenience for hardworking women across Pakistan. Women will be able to register and receive payments with ease at the BISP service delivery centers. This is a significant step by the government of Pakistan for the socioeconomically disadvantaged, making the program more effective and accessible through the leadership of Naveed Akbar.
