Piped water also gets contaminated because pipes are laid very close to sewerage lines or open drains and cause many serious water borne diseases. It was found that 45% of infant deaths have been attributed to diarrhea and about 60% to overall infectious waterborne diseases in Pakistan. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 25-30% of the diseases are gastro-intestinal in nature. The poor quality of drinking water has forced a large cross-section of citizens to buy bottled water. As a consequence of this expanding market a mushroom growth of bottled water industry in the country is witnessed during the last few years. However, many of the mineral water companies were found selling contaminated water. To monitor and improve the quality of bottled water, the government of Pakistan has designated the PCRWR as focal point agency. 1. Ministry of Science & Technology informed PCRWR Vide U.O. No. 5(21)/2004- ATA-II dated 17.10.2005 that the Cabinet in its meeting under the chairmanship of Prime Minister directed Ministry of Science& Technology to undertake regular survey/samples of bottled/mineral water and publicize the results on a quarterly basis and follow up with punitive/legal action. 2. Ministry of Science & Technology has assigned the task of quality monitoring of bottled water and publicize the results to PCRWR Vide U.O. No.1(1)/2005-Secy (MoST) dated 8.12.2005.

  • Barley Cluster Study
    CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT BASED AGRICULTURE TRANSFORMATION PLAN VISION- 2025 Barley Cluster Feasibility and Transformation Study Planning Commission of Pakistan, Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives February 2020 1 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE 2 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE FOREWORD In many developed and developing countries, the cluster-based development approach has become the basis for the transformation of various sectors of the economy including the agriculture sector. This approach not only improves efficiency of development efforts by enhancing stakeholders’ synergistic collaboration to resolve issues in the value chain in their local contexts, but also helps to gather resources from large number of small investors into the desirable size needed for the cluster development. I congratulate the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) and its team to undertake this study on Feasibility Analysis for Cluster Development Based Agriculture Transformation. An important aspect of the study is the estimation of resources and infrastructure required to implement various interventions along the value chain for the development of clusters of large number of agriculture commodities. The methodology used in the study can also be applied as a guide in evaluating various investment options put forward to the Planning Commission of Pakistan for various sectors, especially where regional variation is important in the project design. 3 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE FOREWORD To improve enhance Pakistan’s competitiveness in the agriculture sector in national and international markets, the need to evaluate the value chain of agricultural commodities in the regional contexts in which these are produced, marketed, processed and traded was long felt. The Planning Commission of Pakistan was pleased to sponsor this study on the Feasibility Analysis for Cluster Development Based Agriculture Transformation to fill this gap.
