INTRODUCTION Pakistan is facing acute electricity shortages and requires the addition of new power sources on a fast track basis. Patrind Hydro Power Project, is currently being constructed which is expected to be operational by mid‐2017. Evacuation of electricity from 150 MW Patrind HPP is required for which NTDCL proposes to lay D/C of 132 kV, using rail conductor of length 45 km, from Patrind HPP to Mansehra New 132 kV grid station in Phase‐1. One of these circuits would be direct whereas the other circuit, would be looped in/out at Balakot 132 kV substation with the distance of Patrind HPP – Balakot of 32 km and Balakot – Mansehra New of 23 km. NTDCL requested USAID financing for the T/L project to be implemented under Phase I.

  • Socio-Economic Determinants of Farmers' Adoption of Rainwater
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2020) Vol. 22(2): 377-387 Socio-Economic Determinants of Farmers’ Adoption of Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Semi-Arid Regions of Pakistan I. Jan1 ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the socio-economic determinants of Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RWHS) in Pakistan. The study was based on a survey of 200 farming households selected from two villages in Pakistan. A binary logit model was used to identify determinants of RWHS. The study found that the age of respondents, size of non-irrigated land, and household monthly income were statistically significant and positively related to the adoption of RWHS. On the contrary, variables such as occupation as laborer and membership of any Community-Based Organization (CBO), though significant, had an inverse effect on the adoption of RWHS. The overall model was significant as shown by P< 0.05 which depicts that the socio-economic characteristics of the population are the main factors contributing to the adoption of RWHS. The study recommends that increased public and private investment and active involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and voluntary organizations for social mobilization are essential for the promotion of RWHS in Pakistan. Keywords: Agricultural productivity, Monsoon, Non-governmental organizations, Rain-fed agriculture. INTRODUCTION indigenous knowledge and skills since ancient times (Schiettecatte et al., 2005).

Tel: +92-51-2872765 PREFACE The Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Programme implementation took off in April 2006. By that time, ERRA had already gained momentum in the planning and strategy development and started devolving responsibilities with due focus on building capacity of its affiliates, SERRA/PERRA and DRUs. The enormity, complexity and diversity of reconstruction and rehabilitation programme afforded unparallel experiences that opened new avenues for learning to people within the organization, as well as to stakeholders, development practitioners, planners and managers, academic institutions and international community. One such avenue led to the development of District Profiles of the nine earthquake affected districts. The impediments faced in collecting accurate data for damage assessment of the earthquake and for planning reconstruction strategies was a sufficient indicator for ERRA to address the deficiency timely and pragmatically to ensure that such a situation would not be repeated in the future. Therefore, ERRA, together with its affiliates SERRA/PERRA and DRUs, initiated compilation of available district specific data/information on relevant socio-economic and physical indicators in the form of District Profile to serve as a baseline and a reference point for planning and monitoring progress of work.
