The Uttarakhand Government’s Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA) recently conducted a mock drill for the upcoming Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Portal before its official launch.
Over 3,500 citizens (dummy entries) registered on the portal during the exercise, while registrars and sub-registrars processed about 200 dummy applications. In addition, 7,728 officer IDs were generated successfully.
Challenges Identified During the Mock Drill
At the time of reporting, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) portal was offline to address technical issues identified during the mock drill.
The mock drill revealed several technical and operational challenges:
- Errors in the Aadhaar-enabled registration process within the citizen module.
- Mapping issues between registrar and sub-registrar user accounts in some areas.
ITDA's Response to Challenges
The Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA) has initiated measures to resolve these issues and is working to ensure a smooth rollout.
The mock drill also focused on streamlining the portal’s workflow, enhancing processes like user registration and final approvals for greater efficiency. ITDA is committed to refining the system by analyzing performance and addressing bottlenecks to improve user experience and service delivery.
Upcoming Mock Drill at CSC Level
A second mock drill will be conducted at the Common Service Center (CSC) level on January 24 to further test and optimize the portal’s functionality.
