Project overview
This government welfare scheme portal was built by Websofy for the Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, to run the Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana, the Chief Minister's mass marriage assistance scheme. The portal is hosted on the state data centre and is used across Uttar Pradesh, from district and block offices to the state headquarters.
The situation before
Welfare schemes of this kind traditionally run on paper applications and registers. That makes it slow to verify eligibility, difficult for an applicant to know the status of an application, and hard for the department to compile accurate figures. There is also a risk of duplicate or ineligible beneficiaries when records are kept separately in each office.
What the portal does
- Online registration: applicants or facilitating offices submit applications with the required details and documents.
- Verification: identity-based checks reduce duplication, and each application is scrutinised at the designated level.
- Approval workflow: applications move through role-based stages with remarks recorded at each step.
- Event and beneficiary management: approved couples are organised by event, district and date.
- Assistance tracking: the status of the benefit due to each beneficiary is recorded.
- Dashboards and MIS: district-wise and state-wise reports are available to officers in real time.
How the workflow runs
| Stage | What happens |
| Application | Details and documents are submitted online. |
| Scrutiny | The application is checked for eligibility and completeness. |
| Approval | The competent officer approves or returns it with remarks. |
| Event | Approved beneficiaries are assigned to a mass marriage event. |
| Assistance | Benefit status is updated and reported. |
| Monitoring | Officers review progress on dashboards and reports. |
Access, security and accountability
Every user works within a defined role, from data entry at the block level to approval at the district and monitoring at the state level. Each action on an application is recorded with the user and time, so the department can show who verified and who approved a case. Hosting on government infrastructure keeps beneficiary data within the state's own environment, and reports can be produced for audit at any time.
How Websofy delivered it
We studied the scheme's orders, forms and approval chain first, then built the portal in stages and trained departmental users. Because the scheme runs in every district, particular attention was given to simple screens, clear status at each stage and reports in the formats that district and state offices already use. Websofy continues to support the portal as the scheme's requirements change.
What changed
A single system of record now serves the whole state. Applications can be tracked, officers see pendency at every level and consolidated reports no longer have to be compiled by hand. The same design can be adapted to other benefit schemes; see our government systems approach or contact us for a presentation.
How we approach engagements like this
- Requirement discovery mapped to the real workflow, users and data involved
- Solution architecture and module planning before any code is written
- Secure, tested engineering with clear documentation
- Structured handover, training and post-launch support
