They are among the poorest of the poor.According to the World Bank estimates, one in five of the world's poorest people are disabled, and many of them live in low and middle- income groups. Due to the lack of opportunities, many of them are forced to remain confined to their houses. On the other hand, due to inadequate awareness in societies, persons with disabilities are not accepted as a useful human resource in economic development. There is a dire need for putting in place an information bridge administered by persons with disabilities themselves, because they are the best advocate of their issues.After the disastrous earthquake of October 8th, 2005 the population of disabled persons has increased manifold in the country. These issues must be addressed at all levels. For this purpose STEP has initiated the First Information and Resource Centre on Disability with the goal of Empowerment and Capacity Building of Persons with Disabilities.

    A Framework for Detecting Event related Sentiments of a Community By Muhammad Aslam Jarwar Department of Computer Science Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan April 20, 2019 Dedicated to H & H (Hasnain & Hibbah) My Kids Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is the presentation of my original research work. Wherever contributions of others are involved, every effort is made to indicate this clearly with due reference to the literature and acknowledgment of collaborative research and discussions. This work was done under the guidance of Dr. Rabeeh Ayaz Abbasi, Department of Computer Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Date: April 20, 2019 Muhammad Aslam Jarwar ii Abstract Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its easiness and effective medium, people share and exchange information, carry out discussion on various events, and express their opinions. For effective policy making and understanding the response of a community on different events, we need to monitor and analyze the social media. In social media, there are some users who are more influential, for example, a famous politician may have more influence than a common person. These influential users belong to specific communities. The main object of this research is to know the sentiments of a specific community on various events. For detecting the event based sentiments of a community we propose a generic framework. Our framework identifies the users of a specific community on twitter. After identifying the users of a community, we fetch their tweets and identify tweets belonging to specific events. The event based tweets are pre-processed.

  • Islamabad, Page 1 of 2
    Things to Do in Islamabad, page 1 of 2 Things to Do in Islamabad Islamabad is a charming city where lush green hill backdrops and mild warm weather set it apart from other big cities in the region. It is a city, not for the night owls and party animals, but for the aesthetically inclined and to those drawn to the glory of nature. Islamabad’s relative infancy as a major metropolis is reflected in the city’s architecture, which is modern – the influence of its first urban planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis is pretty evident – yet distinctly Islamic in appearance. Faisal Mosque E-7, Islamabad, ICT, Pakistan The Faisal Mosque (also known as Shah Faisal Masjid) is the largest mosque in Pakistan, located in the national capital city of Islamabad. Completed in 1986, it was designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay to be shaped like a desert Bedouin’s tent. It functions as the national mosque of Pakistan. Height: 295' (90 m) Architect: Vedat Dalokay Margalla Hills The Margalla Hills—also called Margalla Mountain Range are also a part of lesser Himalayas located north of Islamabad. Margalla Range has an area of 12,605 hectares.The hills are a part of Murree hills. It is a range with many valleys as well as high mountains. The hill range nestles between an elevation of 685 meters at the western end and 1,604 meters on its east with average height of 1000 meters. Its highest peak is Tilla Charouni.The range gets snowfall in winters. Instituted in 1980, the Margalla Hills National Park comprises the Margalla Range (12605 hectares) the Rawal Lake, and Shakarparian Sports and Cultural complex.

  • Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in Protests
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in Protests Javed, Rabbia and Mamoon, Dawood University of Management and Technology 7 January 2017 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/76086/ MPRA Paper No. 76086, posted 11 Jan 2017 07:29 UTC Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in/Protests Rabbia Javed University of Management and Technology and Dawood Mamoon University of Management and Technology Abstract: It’s a short allegory to present the case for the importance of Political stability in the economic progress of a country. The Arab spring protests were seen as strengthening democracy in the Arab world. Notwithstanding the surprise Arab spring brought in shape of further destabilizing Middle East, a similar environment of unrest and protests in a practicing democracy like Pakistan capture same dynamics of uncertainty that dampen economic destabilization. The paper briefly covers PTI’s sit in protests in year 2014 to make a case for how political instability stifled economic progress in Pakistan though momentarily. 1. Introduction: The political stability is condition for the nation building and in return it is a process compulsory for the development of a nation. In most of developing countries the governments are not stable. A new government comes into the power overnight; either through coup or army takes over. The new government introduces a new system of rules for the operation of business which cause frustration and anger among the people. Political instability now becomes a serious problem especially in developing countries.

  • Abstract Public Protests, Agitations and Demonstrations Are Part of the Democratic Political Process
    Citation: Ullah, Y., Ahmad, M., & Azim, S. W. (2020). Politics of Protest in Pakistan: Causes and Features of the PTI (2014) Dharna in Islamabad, Pakistan. Global Strategic & Security Studies Review, V(I), 23-31. doi:10.31703/gsssr.2020(V-I).03 Politics of Protest in Pakistan: Causes and Features of the PTI (2014) Dharna in Islamabad, Pakistan Pages: 23 – 31 | Vol. V, No. I (Winter 2020) Yaseen Ullah* | Manzoor Ahmad† | Syed Wasif Azim‡ Abstract Public protests, agitations and demonstrations are part of the democratic political process. In Pakistan’s history, protest or pressure politics have played a significant role. They have been held against ‘election riggings’ including the recent one against 2013 general elections. This study discusses the recent protest ‘popularly called Dharna’ staged by Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) under the leadership of the present Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad for 126 days against the alleged rigging of elections of 2013. It explores the causes of PTI Dharna based on the primary data collected through interviews from students, lawyers and political activists in May-June 2019 in Lahore, Nowshera and Peshawar, Pakistan. We argue that the Dharna has multiple features long continued presence, participation of multiple groups, violence and media coverage. The significant reason of PTI for staging protest against Nawaz Sharif, inter alia, was the alleged rigging in the general elections of 2013. Key Words: Causes, Dharna, Features, Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf, Protest Politics Introduction Public protests, agitations and demonstrations are part of the democratic political process (Segalov 2015). It shapes the polity of a country and transforms social, political and economic aspects.
