The Development Program of AJ&K also includes Foreign Aid component of Rs.2,500 million for Islamic Development Bank assisted Education Sector Projects, World Bank assisted Disaster, Climate and Resilience Improvement Project and Nagdar & Dowarian Hydel Power Projects. The current Development Program has been formulated in line with the overall national strategy aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to achieve the goals and objectives set for 12th Five Year Plan (2018-23). Transport & Communication Sector is the major recipient of allocation during 2020-21 for up-gradation and modernization of communication infrastructure for better regional connectivity. The second priority has been assigned to LG&RD followed by Education, PP&H, Power, Foreign Aided Projects, Health and Industries & Minerals sectors respectively. The overall portfolio comprises 391 ongoing and 190 new projects. 119 projects have been completed during 2019-20 while 199 projects have been planned for completion during 2020-21. Efforts have also been made to ensure completion of ongoing projects to avoid time and cost overrun and ensure timely provision of services to the targeted populace. Almost 72% funds are allocated to on-going portfolio to ensure completion of projects while remaining 28% funds are earmarked for new important initiatives. The macro sector allocations constitutes 72% for Infrastructure Sectors, 19% for Social Sectors and 9% for Productive Sectors to provide and improved service delivery in all sectors of economy. The unemployment ratio in the State is relatively much higher as compared to the national average. Hence, emphasis has been laid to allocate adequate funds as endowment for establishment of Skill Development Fund of the AJ&K to impart job oriented trainings to the unemployed youth in the quality institutions of the country. This facility would equip the youth with skills which will ensure their jobs in the national and international market. Efforts have also been concerted by earmarking sufficient resources to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The Annual Development Program 2020-21 is focused on strengthening the most promising sectors for investment aiming at fast track socio economic development. They broadly include human resource development, capacity building, improved infrastructure, agriculture and tourism development and provision of clean drinking water facility at all District & Tehsil headquarters.

The communities of Musk Deer National Park (MDNP) comprise 19 villages. The questionnaire and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercises were designed to collect information and that data has been analyzed by advance technique of indexing each characteristic to get output in the form of percentage of level of dependence. The analysis provides clear view of their maximum level of dependence on natural resources, which are at harmful level of (46.6%). It is concluded that technical support on various management issues of MDNP, like, biodiversity conservation through community participation and socio-economic development of local communities by Village Level Investments and a socio-economic baseline of the communities around MDNP are needed to plan for conservation and social development interventions and to monitor the socio- economic impacts of these activities. Increasing the use of local resources (labour and materials), creating job opportunities for local community through productive planning, infrastructural development and maintenance are needed on urgent basis.

    ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 49 MW LUAT HYDRO POWER PROJECT Submitted To: Environmental Protection Agency Azad Jammu & Kashmir Submitted By: Neelum Green Energy (Pvt.) Ltd. Office # 7, MB City Mall, I‐8 Markaz, Islamabad +92 51 4861790 Consultant: Nasir Absar Consulting (Pvt.) Ltd. Office # 1, Second Floor, VIP Square I‐8 Markaz, Islamabad +92 51 4861323 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The proposed 49 MW Luat Hydropower Project “the Project” is identified in the lower 6-7 km stretch of Chutiari nullah, near Luat village, District Neelum, in the Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir. Chutiari nullah is a right bank tributary of Neelum River in the tehsils Athmuqam, Neelum district with its confluence about 95 km north-west of Muzaffarabad city. The Project layout has been planned on the right bank of Chutiari nullah with diversion weir intake, connecting channel, sandtrap, low pressure headrace tunnel, surge shaft, pressure shaft, pressure tunnel, underground powerhouse and a free flow tailrace tunnel to discharge the outflows back into the Nullah. An access tunnel is provided for handling of plant and equipment transportation to the powerhouse, the access tunnel is just over the tailrace tunnel. This site was first identified by a French Firm (CFG) in 1986. During the preliminary site identification studies the estimated installed capacity of the Project was estimated to be 25 MW. In November 2008, Hydro Electric Board (HEB) of the Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) signed a Consultancy Agreement with M/s Fida Hussain Chaudhary - FHC Consulting Engineers, Lahore, in association with M/s Scott Wilson Limited of United Kingdom and M/s Electra Consultants, Peshawar for preparation of feasibility study reports.

  • Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan
    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2014 Jun;32(2):301-313 ©INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIARRHOEAL ISSN 1606-0997 | $ 5.00+0.20 DISEASE RESEARCH, BANGLADESH Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Nazish Jabeen, Sajid Malik Human Genetics Program, Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, 45320 Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Kashmiri population in the northeast of Pakistan has strong historical, cultural and linguistic affini- ties with the neighbouring populations of upper Punjab and Potohar region of Pakistan. However, the study of consanguineous unions, which are customarily practised in many populations of Pakistan, revealed marked differences between the Kashmiris and other populations of northern Pakistan with respect to the distribution of marriage types and inbreeding coefficient (F). The current descriptive epidemiological study carried out in Bhimber district of Mirpur division, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, demonstrated that consanguineous marriages were 62% of the total marriages (F=0.0348). First-cousin unions were the predominant type of marriages and constituted 50.13% of total marital unions. The estimates of inbreeding coefficient were higher in the literate subjects, and consanguinity was witnessed to be rising with increasing literacy level. Additionally, consanguinity was observed to be associated with ethnicity, family structure, language, and marriage arrangements. Based upon these data, a distinct sociobiological structure, with increased stratification and higher genomic homozygos- ity, is expected for this Kashmiri population. In this communication, we present detailed distribution of the types of marital unions and the incidences of consanguinity and inbreeding coefficient (F) across various sociodemographic strata of Bhimber/Mirpuri population. The results of this study would have implication not only for other endogamous populations of Pakistan but also for the sizeable Kashmiri community immigrated to Europe.

Distribution, Population Status and Habitat Utilization of Common Otter (Lutra lutra) in Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Muhammad Bashir Khan, Khawaja Basharat Ahmed, Muhammad Siddique Awan, Usman Ali, Riaz Aziz Minhas* and Shahid Ashraf Choudary Department of Zoology, University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad Abstract.- Neelum Valley comprises of fascinating wildlife, yet it is not explored due to multiple factors including inaccessibility, no appropriate means of transportation and communication and cross border firing between Pakistan and Indian armed forces. Common otter (Lutra lutra) listed as near threatened by IUCN in the Red List of 2008, has been extinct in much of its range with many populations still thinning and is firmly protected by the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Wild Life Act. The present study aimed to find out the distribution, habitat utilization and population status of common otter in Neelum Valley. Study area was divided into zones and localities and eight months surveys of each locality were conducted from December, 2004 to July, 2005. The important vegetation of the area was Rumex histatus, Adhatoda zeyloanica, Cynoglossum lanceolatum, Salix sp, Pinus sp, Cedrus deodara and Celtis eriocarpa. Common otter was found to adapt to rocky area with cave type places, sands and pebbles. Average population was measured by the indirect method of sampling. The animal was distributed in all three zones and 22 localities apart from Nosada locality. A total population of 35 animals was estimated with the average population density of 2.29 animals/km2 in the study area.

INTRODUCTION Pakistan is presently facing acute shortages of electricity while the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is targeting for substantial economic growth in the medium to long term. To combat the electricity shortage and to achieve high targets of growth all possible resources for power generation are to be used to sustain the economy. It is estimated that Pakistan would require around 2000-3000 MW annual addition for the next few years. The international geopolitical situation and unstable fuel oil and gas prices in the world have compelled Pakistan to look for additional resources for diversity and energy security of the country. Pakistan is a water-rich country and is endowed with hydropower potential of more than 60000 MW.
