Uttarakhand conducts mock drill for UCC portal ahead of implementation

A day after the state cabinet’s approval of the rule and regulations for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), the Uttarakhand Government’s Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA) conducted a mock drill for the Uttarakhand UCC Portal on Tuesday. Ahead of the UCC’s implementation in the hill state, the exercise to conduct mock drill is a significant step in the portal’s operational readiness.

According to a press release, more than 3,500 citizens (dummy entries) registered on the portal during the mock drill exercise. Action was taken on around 200 dummy applications by sub-registrars and registrars. Besides, 7,728 officer IDs were successfully created.

“The primary objective of this mock drill was to identify technical bottlenecks and operational challenges associated with the rollout of the UCC Portal, and this goal was successfully achieved during the exercise,” the release mentioned.


The release further said minor technical issues were identified within the citizen module, particularly in the Aadhaar-enabled registration process. Besides, mapping errors between registrar and sub-registrar user accounts were noticed in certain areas. Taking prompt note of these concerns, ITDA has initiated the process of addressing them, while also implementing further measures to ensure a timely resolution.

The release said this mock drill also enabled further streamlining of the portal’s workflow, ensuring that all processes—from user registration to final approvals—are optimized for efficiency. By evaluating performance and identifying bottlenecks, ITDA is committed to refining each stage of the process, thereby enhancing both user experience and overall service delivery.

The Uttarakhand UCC Portal is poised to streamline services and improve access for citizens across the state. A mock drill at the level of CSC is also being kept on 24th January.

Uttarakhand is set to become the country’s first state to implement the UCC after the independence. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has already announced that the UCC will come into force in January this year. The state government may announce the implementation of the UCC on the republic day celebrations on January 26.
