Dhami stated that the training process for UCC implementation is nearly finalized and the government is aiming for a swift rollout.

The UCC includes provisions related to marriage, divorce, annulment of marriage, succession, and live-in relationships.

In remote areas, CSC agents will provide door-to-door services. The Gram Panchayat Development Officer will serve as the Sub-Registrar for registration work in rural areas. The government has also implemented Aadhaar-based registration to make the process easier. Citizens can track their application status through email and SMS, and an online complaint portal has been set up.
