  • Evaluation Report on Project ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY of FLOWERS in PERIURBAN LAHORE DIRECTORATE GENERAL MONITORING & EVALUATI
    Evaluation Report on Project ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY OF FLOWERS IN PERIURBAN LAHORE DIRECTORATE GENERAL MONITORING & EVALUATION PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB June, 2011 8th Floor LDA Plaza, Edgerton Road, Lahore – Pakistan Tel: (042) 99203931-4, Fax: (042) 99203935 1 [This page is intentionally left blank] i ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Flowers have aesthetic value and beauty in addition to their utility. Beauty cannot be measured or weighed, it is a value judgment. Since in this age of specialization and industrialization, many people have neither the time nor the facilities or the know-how required for raising flowers, so they buy flowers from the market. But for cut flowers export purposes, we should produce and maintain a quality and quality of the product acceptable to the buyer. The term Cut flower refers to those flowers whose post harvest life is considerably long and which can be measured in days and also in weeks. Cut flowers are integral part of life and are marketed by thousands of small sized and medium size of business. The production, handling and marketing of Cut flowers constitute a key segment of floriculture industry and its export can play vital role in alleviation of poverty of Pakistan. The field of floriculture has great potential to grow faster as a sub-sector of agriculture, particularly in terms of export and internal demand of the country. Developed countries provide a huge market for flower growers through out the world. Availability of diverse agro-climatic conditions in Pakistan are best suited for the production of almost all kinds of floricultural crops, like cut flowers, pot plants, annuals, biennials, perennials, trees and shrubs.

  • Society1 in Lower Chenab Colony: a Case Study of Toba Tek Singh (1900-1947)
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 2 (July - December, 2018) Nayyer Abbas * Tahir Mahmood ** Fatima Riffat*** Constructing ‘hydraulic’ Society1 in Lower Chenab Colony: A Case Study of Toba Tek Singh (1900-1947) Abstract This paper focuses on agricultural colonization projects from 1885 to 1947 in Punjab. It will be helpful to understand agricultural colonization of the Punjab by the British government and further to establish a link with migration trends during the partition of Punjab in 1947. Among other canal colonies areas, Lower Chenab Colony greatly transformed the agricultural economy of the Punjab. The case study research material has been primarily drawn from the District Colony Record Office Toba Tek Singh, Punjab Archives Lahore and the British Library. It shows that social engineering through which British government developed Toba Tek Singh, constructed a hydraulic society, controlled by the colonial state through the control of canal waters. Its specific composition also gives clue to the migration trends during the Partition of Punjab in 1947. The local non-Muslims’ (Hindu and Sikh) previous family links with the East Punjab became one of the major factors in their migration to India. Key Words: Hydraulic society, Toba Tek Singh, Social engineering, migration, Lower Chenab colony Introduction History of the canal colonies in the Punjab during colonial period had been researched by the number of historians from different aspects of this project. David Gilmartin analyzed the Punjabi migration to the Canal Colonies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and provided a critical link ‘between village organization and sate power that lay at the heart of colonial rule’.2 D.

  • Proposal for Approval
    Akhter et al. J. Anim. Pl. Sci. 17(3-4): 2007 KSK 133-A HIGH YIELDING, STIFF STEMMED AND EXTRA LONG GRAIN COARSE RICE VARIETY M. Akhter, M. Ahmad. M. Ramzan* and T. H. Awan Rice Research Institute, Kala Shah Kaku, Pakistan *PARC Rice Programme, Kala Shah Kaku ABSTRACT A high yielding, stiff stemmed and extra long grain coarse rice variety was developed by crossing KS282 and advance line 4321. It was tested in series of station and national yield trials during 1991-2003 for yield performance reaction to insect pests and diseases and grain quality. It was compared with KS282 in 64 trials. It exceeded KS282 by 7.58% and IR6 by 5.16% in station trials. In national trials i.e. NURYT 1998 and 1999, it out yielded KS282 by 7.77 %. In regional adoptability trials its superiority over local check was 10%. Overall, it had 8.6% and 18% yield edge over KS282 and IR6, respectively. The stem and leaves of KSK 133 remains green at the time of maturity. Therefore, can be used as a green fodder. It had similar response to insect pests and diseases as KS282. The new variety KSK133 is moderately resistant to bakanae / foot rot and paddy blast. In physico-chemical tests conducted at Rice Research Institute, Kala Shah Kaku, head rice recovery and grain length are more than KS282. Its grain is bold so it can not be mixed with any Basmati variety. It was approved for cultivation by Punjab Seed Council, Government of the Punjab and VEC at the Federal level in 2006.

  • Investigation of Isotopes and Hydrological Processes in Indus River System, Pakistan
    PINSTECH- 215 INVESTIGATION OF ISOTOPES AND HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES IN INDUS RIVER SYSTEM, PAKISTAN Manzoor Ahmad Zahid Latif Jamil Ahmad Tariq Waheed Akram Muhammad Rafique . Isotope Application Division Directorate of Technology Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology P.O. Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan November, 2009 ABSTRACT Indus River, one of the longest rivers in the World, has five major eastern tributaries viz. Bias, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum) while many small rivers join it from the right side among which Kabul River is the biggest with its main tributaries, the Swat, Panjkora and Kunar. All these main rivers are perennial and originate from the mountains. Basic sources of these rivers are snowmelt, rainfall and under certain conditions seepage from the formations. Different water sources are labeled with different isotope signatures which are used as fingerprints for identifying source and movement of water, geochemical and/or hydrological processes, and dynamics (age of water). Monitoring of isotopes in rivers can also enhance understanding of the water cycle of large river basins and to assess impacts of environmental and climatic changes on the water cycle. Therefore, a national network of suitable stations was established for isotopic monitoring of river waters in Indus Basin with specific objectives to study temporal variations of isotopes (2H, 18O and 3H), understand water cycles and hydrological processes in the catchments of these rivers, and to develop comprehensive database to support future isotope-based groundwater studies in the basin on recharge mechanism, water balance and monitoring of ongoing environmental changes. Water samples were collected during 2002-2006 on monthly basis from more than 20 stations at the major rivers and analyzed for 18O, 2H and 3H isotopes.
