  • Impact of Parthenium Weed on the Yield of Wheat Crop in Sheikhupura and Rawalpindi Districts of the Punjab, Pakistan
    Pakistan Geographical Review, Vol.75, No 2, December. 2020, PP 301-314 IMPACT OF PARTHENIUM WEED ON THE YIELD OF WHEAT CROP IN SHEIKHUPURA AND RAWALPINDI DISTRICTS OF THE PUNJAB, PAKISTAN ZULFIQAR ALI MAYO* & SOHAIL ABBAS** *Crop Reporting Service, Punjab, and Agriculture Department **Department of Geography, Konkuk university, Seoul, South Korea Corresponding Authors Email: Sohail.konkuk@gmil.com ABSTRACT Parthenium is a challenging invasive weed in the world, including Pakistan, may reduce the yield of any crop. The main purpose was to analyze the empirical impact of parthenium weed on the yield of wheat crop in districts Sheikhupura (SKP) and Rawalpindi (RWP). For this purpose, wheat acreage and yield estimation surveys were conducted. Descriptive statistics were also applied to explore the yield variable and independent samples t-test was employed to analyze the difference between the mean of the yields. Results revealed that in district SKP, wheat yield from fields with parthenium weed (WYwp) was 16.48 percent less as compare to the wheat yield of weed free fields (WYwop) which showed that on average 0.55 ton/ha yield might decrease due to parthenium. In district RWP, the yield drop due to parthenium weed was observed 17.96% less as compare to WYwop. It showed that parthenium might reduce the wheat yield up to 0.277 ton/ha in RWP. The yield reduction ratio due to parthenium weed in RWP was (1.48%) higher as compare to the situation in district SKP which showed that the intensity of parthenium wheat in RWP was high. It was reported that intensity of parthenium weed plants was more at corners of the wheat fields and its impact was observe from 2 to 3% decreased in the yield.

  • Colonial Transformation in the District of Sheikhupura, 1849-1947
    Iram Naseer Ahmad* COLONIAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE DISTRICT OF SHEIKHUPURA, 1849-1947 Abstract This research paper analyses the British colonial transformation in the district of Sheikhupura. The geographical, revenue, judicial and administrative changes have been understood in the sense of establishing a controlled society in the district. This paper sheds light on colonial changes in the district of Sheikhupura under the British raj from 1857 to 1947. The phenomenon of introducing a new administrative and revenue mechanism in Sheikhupura was a project that was not detached from imperialistic ambitions and designs of colonial power in whole of India. The new colonial administrative system, including the reorganization and demarcation of boundaries and setting up centralized administrative machinery particularly a strong revenue, police, and judicial system. Ironically, it was devised to effectively protect the “world monopoly of industrial production” in the British India. It was enforced effectively by a reconstitution of the power structure of the land which meant search for new allies. At the end the article examines the origin of new towns and tehsils in Sheikhupura after the advent of British rule. It observes that British colonialism altered the whole scenario in Sheikhupura which was considered of crucially important for initial colonial control in this district. Keywords: Sheikhupura, British, Imperialism, colonialism The era of British colonialism in the district of Sheikhupura has been divided into three stages. The first stage of colonialism stretches from 1600 to 1757, it deals with the period of monopoly of natural trade and extraction of revenue.1In this stage British traders monopolized the trade with the other European traders as well.

The project is aimed at to promote sustainable forest management in Pakistan’s western Himalayan temperate coniferous, subtropical broad leaved evergreen thorn (scrub) and riverine forest for biodiversity conservation, mitigation of climate change and securing of forest ecosystem service. This paper encompasses the study of socio-economic aspects of the salt range scrub forest landscape located in Chakwal and Jhelum Districts of the Punjab province, to develop a framework for sustainable management. The landscape represents an ecosystem that contributes largely to economic and welfare of the communities which depend, directly or indirectly on the exploitation of natural resources of this ecosystem. Hence, there is interrelationship between environment and socio- economic conditions prevailing in the area. They are affected by the natural environment with its various ecosystems which provide continues supply of goods and services. The stability of environment, sustainable forest management and welfare of communities are highly associated and correlated. The total area of landscape is 20,000 ha, out of which 7,859 ha is forested and owned by the state, and 6,672 ha in the outer landscape is private land, including cultivation (1,752 ha) and pastures and settlements, 5469 ha is communal land.

  • State Capacity in Punjab's Local Governments
    Final report State capacity in Punjab’s local governments Benchmarking existing deficits Gharad Bryan Ali Cheema Ameera Jamal Adnan Khan Asad Liaqat Gerard Padro i Miquel June 2019 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: S-37433-PAK-2 STATE CAPACITY IN PUNJAB’S LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: BENCHMARKING EXISTING DEFICITS Gharad Bryan, Ali Cheema, Ameera Jamal, Adnan Khan, Asad Liaqat Gerard Padro i Miquel This Version: August 2019 Abstract As the developing world urbanizes, there is increasing pressure to provide local public goods and local governments are expected to play an important role in their provision. However, there is little work on the nature of of capacity deficits faced by local governments and whether these deficits are acting as a constraint on performance. We use financial accounts data from Punjab’s local governments for 2018-19 to measure their ability to utilize budgets and find that there is considerable variation in this metric across local governments. We supplement this with a management survey with the top managers whose decisions affect budget utilization in a random sample of 129 out of 193 urban local governments in Punjab. We find that the capacity deficits in local governments are particularly challenging in terms of human resource capabilities, the adoption of automated systems, and legal and enforcement capacity. We also find that better human resource capabilities and the use of managerial incentives are positively correlated with budget utilization. Our evidence provides new insights on the importance of management and human resource capabilities and systems capacity in local governments in a developing country setting.
