  • A Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Rainfall and Drought Monitoring in the Tharparkar Region of Pakistan
    remote sensing Article A Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Rainfall and Drought Monitoring in the Tharparkar Region of Pakistan Muhammad Usman 1 and Janet E. Nichol 2,* 1 Centre for Geographical Information System, University of the Punjab, Lahore 54590, Pakistan; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton BN19RH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +852-9363-8044 Received: 6 January 2020; Accepted: 5 February 2020; Published: 10 February 2020 Abstract: The Tharpakar desert region of Pakistan supports a population approaching two million, dependent on rain-fed agriculture as the main livelihood. The almost doubling of population in the last two decades, coupled with low and variable rainfall, makes this one of the world’s most food-insecure regions. This paper examines satellite-based rainfall estimates and biomass data as a means to supplement sparsely distributed rainfall stations and to provide timely estimates of seasonal growth indicators in farmlands. Satellite dekadal and monthly rainfall estimates gave good correlations with ground station data, ranging from R = 0.75 to R = 0.97 over a 19-year period, with tendency for overestimation from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) and underestimation from Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) datasets. CHIRPS was selected for further modeling, as overestimation from TRMM implies the risk of under-predicting drought. The use of satellite rainfall products from CHIRPS was also essential for derivation of spatial estimates of phenological variables and rainfall criteria for comparison with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)-based biomass productivity. This is because, in this arid region where drought is common and rainfall unpredictable, determination of phenological thresholds based on vegetation indices proved unreliable.

  • The Hur Movement Which Has Its Roots from 1843 Was Indeed the Genuine Rebellion Against British Colonial Rule in the Sub-Continent
    Grassroots, Vol.49, No.II July-December 2015 THE HUR MOVEMENT: A FOUNDATION FOR INDEPENDENT MUSLIM STATE Dr.Zain-ul Abdin Sodhar Dr.Abdul Ghani Shaikh Khair-u-Nisa Sodhar ABSTRACT The Hur movement was the first well-planned movement in the history of British India. This paper argues that the movement was primarily non-political in nature. The aim of the movement was to organize jihadi activities guided by theological philosophy. The house of Pagara had no political agenda and aspirations. However, the efforts were made to establish supremacy of religion and to oppose despotic rule. This study analysis the contribution of Pir Pagara who gave sacrifices for the homeland. The study further analysis the difference phases of Hur movement. ____________________ Keywords: Hur, Grang Banglow, Makhi Forest, Choki, Malfoozat, Hikayat INTRODUCTION The Hur movement which has its roots from 1843 was indeed the genuine rebellion against British colonial rule in the sub-continent. From 1843 and onwards up to 1945, this glaring movement underwent four different phases. Its last phase which initiated with the ascendency of Pir Sibghatullah-II as Pagara (commonly known as Soorah Badshah) has added a novel chapter to the history of freedom movements in the annals of Indian history. The vivacity of the movement, its rationale and truth behind it was fully acclaimed and recognized by world history. The perspective of movement, if be evaluated from political points of view, it in fact provided the base for the foundation of separate Muslim state (Pakistan) in sub- continent. Accordingly, to the historians, the Hur movement was first well planned and well organized movement, which fully discomfited British power and enhanced the vision of self-determination among the nationalities of the sub-continent and British colonies throughout world.

  • Pakistan Food Security Bulletin Issue 6 (January–June 2017) August, 2017
    Pakistan Food Security Bulletin Issue 6 (January–June 2017) August, 2017 The Pakistan Food Security Bulletin is produced by the Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) Unit of the World Food Programme as a contribution to periodic food security monitoring in the country. Highlights According to the Food Security and Nutrition Strategic Review for Pakistan, food insecurity is among the greatest challenges for Pakistan. The overall Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) is estimated to be about 18 percent of the entire population. Preliminary findings of IPC Chronic conducted for 18 districts of Sindh province rank 7 districts in Level 4 (Severe Chronic Food Insecurity), 10 in Level 3 (Moderate Chronic Food Insecurity), 1 in Level 2 (Mild Chronic Food Insecurity) while no single district in Level 1 (Minimal Chronic Food Security). Initial findings of IPC Acute Analysis conducted in 4 drought prone districts of Sindh province indicates 3 districts are in Phase 4 (Emergency), and 1 district in Phase 3 (Crisis). Total national wheat crop production for 2016-17 has been estimated at 25.75 million MT, showing a marginal growth of 0.4 percent from 25.6 million MT in 2015-16. Production of rice, the second main staple crop of Pakistan, has been estimated at 6.85 million MT (milled basis), reflecting a negligible increase by 0.7 percent from 6.8 million MT in 2015-16. Prices of staple crops (wheat, wheat flour) slightly decreased, and prices of several non-cereal food commodities significantly decreased. However, the prices of live chicken, cooking oil and vegetable ghee increased.
