In mid-20’s, with the advent of radio, man truly has stepped further into the revolutionary world. Radio is a very popular mode of media in our country. It has various important reasons i.e. easily accessible, cheaper and also used for entertainment and education purpose for common masses. In Pakistan, besides radio Pakistan, many commercial and noncommercial FM radios are also working. Mostly, FM commercial radios are considered as entertainment channels which air musical and entertainment stuff. On the other hand, noncommercial (campus radios) are working in different sectors, mainly in educational institutes as well as in some public sector departments. These FM radios are very effectively conveying information and education. FM community based radios are being used as a very effective, valuable, useful and result oriented educational tool all over the world. Many developed countries have used radio medium as a tool for distance education to the masses particularly to educate and address the people living in remote areas. In many countries of Africa and Asia, radio medium has been used as a tool of social change. Radio broadcasting has been used to address public issues, promotion of social and community awareness. The results of the research depicts that radio industry has revived after emergence of FM radios in Pakistan. FM radio has positive impact on its listeners and FM radio programs are impacting culturally, politically and socially on values of our youth. Furthermore, results of study also reveal that improvement is still required in FM broadcast so as to fully utilize potential of this useful medium in highlighting different cultural, political and social issues, keeping in view of the fact that the most affiliated group of society with FM radios is our youth. In Pakistan, radio medium deserves greater attention. Community radios are essentially required especially to address issues of rural and isolated communities. Government should learn from other part of world where radio is very effectively being used to approach the masses for awareness, education and information. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I would like to thank Almighty Allah, for giving me strength, potential, courage and opportunity to complete this research work with continuous personal obligations. During the study, whenever I have lost heart and my will to complete the research work was broken, something pushed me up from within and this was nothing but the blessings of Almighty Allah and prayers of my parents, family members, friends and all other well wishers. I am very lucky to have worthy Dr. Sajjad Ahmad Paracha, Chairman/ Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies, The Islamia University Bahawalpur, as my supervisor. Simply speaking this study has only been completed owing to his perfect guidance, experience and global exposure of Media Studies. If he had not been there for guidance and supervision, it might be very difficult for me to complete this research work as I may not have even a slightest idea of what a research for Ph.D is about. His kind involvement gave me the knowledge and strength that will benefit me during my whole life. I thank him for the kindness towards me. I am grateful to you sir for guiding me. I am also obliged and deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Gulam Shabbir Baloch, Chairman, Department of Media Studies, BZU, Multan for his encouragement and guidance.

Their biggest support came at the time of writing this thesis. I am grateful to all of them for their kindness and support. Those who supported me are numerous and I could not mention their names here due to constraints of space. But it would be an injustice to Mr. Mansoor A.Sirohey (Member MWs- South) NHA, Mr. Shuaib Khattak (GM-M4), Mr. Muhammad Nasim Arif (GM, PKM), Mr.Tariq Moosa Memon, (Director C-Z), National Highway Authority and all my relatives, friends and colleagues who have supported me during my studies and research work. iii Thanks are also due to all Field Coordinators who have helped me in collection of data particularly those who have collected data from rural areas of Sindh, Gilgit Baltistan, Punjab & Balochistan. I am thankful to my parents, my father Ch.Islam-ud-Din, who have always encouraged and helped me in my studies and guided me throughout my life. Dear father, I am grateful to you always. My beloved mother Asghari Naz, her prayers, care and love always motivated me in my life especially in studies. Love you a lot dear mother. I am thankful to my dear younger brother, Mr. Muhammad Umar Chuadhary, his wife Nida, my sisters Madeeha and Mamoona, my niece Amal Arshad & Hiba Umar and my Nephews Sadoon Rehman, Muhammad Shafy and Muhammad Ibrahim Umar Chaudhary for their love, care and support at home which helped me to concentrate on my work.

Last but not the least, special love for my beloved children, Zeemal Fatima, Muhmmad Hassan Umair Chaudhary & Musab bin Umair for their patience throughout my studies. The words would be short in their meanings to explain the discomfort caused to my family as well as the emotional pain, which my family went through during the course of this study. I deeply regret, however, without their support this research would not be what it is now. My extreme thanks for their unwavering support and love.

    MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy By Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Washington, DC April 13, 2010 MASS MEDIA’S IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN Mahreen Hasan, LLB. Thesis Advisor: Gillette Hall, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Does the growing prevalence of mass media in the developing world represent a potentially untapped opportunity to improve educational outcomes in these countries? This paper presents empirical evidence on the academic impact of children’s access to and use of media at home. Using the 2003 Learning and Educational Achievement in Punjab Schools (LEAPS) dataset and multivariate analysis, it finds that weekly hours of media use has a significant positive impact on test scores, although the overall effect of media varies according to how the variable is operationalized. This study also finds that school quality and child characteristics are important determinants of academic performance, reinforcing the findings of the LEAPS researchers (Andrabi et al 2007). For education policymakers, these results provide some support for the potential role of mass media in enhancing learning levels in developing countries. Such findings underscore the need for further research on the media-education relationship, in order to maximize the potential benefits of mass media for developing countries’ education sectors. ii I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Gillette Hall, for her invaluable guidance through the research, writing and editing process; my peer reviewers – Michael Bailey, Joydeep Roy and Andrew Rothman – for their thoughtful comments; the members of my thesis workshop – Ryan Carrington, Camille D’Andrea, Cafer Orman, Aldo Ortega, Carly Reed, Alex Solano and Jade Winfree – for their continual assistance through the year; and Asif Shah Mohammed for his constant love and support.

So the Punjab government decided to appoint the commissioners in the divisions of Punjab and gave them the task to resolve the problems of the people and implement the government policies in effective way. This paper is the case study of Faisalabad Division which presents the efforts of the office of Commissioner for resolving the social and agricultural problems and to devise the policies for facilitating the people of the Division Faisalabad. This paper highlights the efforts of the Divsional administration in mobilizing business community in providing sizeable funds from their own pocket for execution of welfare projects aimed at ameliorating lot of the people and even extend monetary help to the down-trodden & poor segments of the society.

  • India Pushing Kashmiri Youth to Wall: Masood
    INDIA PUSHING KASHMIRI YOUTH TO WALL: MASOOD The Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said that India had pushed the Kashmiri people toward the wall, and now they have no option except to fight. He said that today, every child of the age of ten to twelve years in occupied Kashmir is set to stand before the gun-wielding India army soldier to fight and die so as to save the honour and modesty of their mothers and sisters. Talking to a delegation of Friends of Kashmir Canada led by its convener Dr. Zafar Bangash here on Monday, he said that the UK, European and French parliaments as well as the US Congress and the US house of representatives have raised their voice over flagrant human rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). The AJK president maintained that these leading parliaments of the world had not only raised their voice for the rights of the Kashmiri people, but they also publicly criticized Indian repression in the held territory. He, however, regretted that other countries except China, Malaysia, Turkey and Iran have kept mum on the government-level over the situation of occupied Kashmir. "The Indian government headed by fanatic Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting to establish Hindu settlements in occupied Kashmir on the pattern of Israeli settlements in order to settle non-Kashmiri Hindus and ex-servicemen there in an attempt to turn the Muslim majority into a minority," he said and added that such attempts under international law are ethnic cleansing. The state president that organizations like Friends of Kashmir Canada can play an important role to break the silence of big powers and international forums on the aggravating the situation of occupied Kashmir.
