The ancestors of these Gujjars lead by Fakir Khan had migrated from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Muzafarabad region of Pakistan to Anantnag through Poonch and then to upper reaches of Harwan which was later named after him. The village of Fakir Gujri is spread over 50-60 sq Kms with total geographical area of 119.8 hectares and situated between the geo- coordinates of N 34°.11”.53 North latitude and E74°.55”.00 East longitude and average elevation of 2149 mts amsl (above mean sea level). The surrounding nearby villages and its distance from Faqir Gujri include Dara (1.5 km), Khimber (5.7 km), Soitang 16.6 (km) and Panginara-B (16.7 km). Fauqir Gujri village is mainly under developed and ecologically fragile region. The topography is moderately uneven characterized by steep to very steep slopes in upper reaches (hills), moderately undulating in the middle and occasionally flat to moderately sloping near habitations. The region is characterized by steep and rugged topography high mountain ranges having a difficult terrain. Climate The climate of the region is cool typical temperate, characterized by moderate summer extreme cool winter and general dryness during autumn (September-November).Winter is severe cold of long duration which experience snow-fall that lasts from December till January. Summer is short and milder that lasts from June-August. There is high annual temperature variability in the area ranging from -5oC in January to about 35oC during July. Precipitation takes place in the form of snow (70%) as well as rainfall (40%) with occasional hailstorms. Demography and Occupation According to the Census of 2011, Fakir Gujri has a total population of 1900 individuals- 990 males and 910 females with 309 total number of households. The children population is 350 in the age group of 0-6 years that make up 18.42% of total population with average sex ratio of 919, higher than J and K’s average ratio of 889. Fakir Gujri has the lowest literacy rate of 46.26% (males 56.31%) and (females 35.31%).The village has maximum population of Schedule Tribe (ST) which constitutes 96.68% of total population. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood in this region. All households (309) have their own agricultural land i.e., 100% land holders. The vast majority of population practice settled farming and animal husbandry like sheep and goat rearing, bee-keeping. Majority of the population are considered poor and backward without involved in any fixed occupational activity. The percentage of poor households (per capita income of less than Rs.130) is 89.96% with houses types of greater than 80% of kaccha and 8% as semi-pucca. The females themselves go in groups to the forest for collecting the fire wood for cooking. Due to heavy snowfall roads are blocked during winters, so in order to overcome the scarcity of food, the vegetables are dried in summers and are used throughout winters. The principle crops grown by these people include maize, rice, and gram practiced mostly in mid to high altitudes in bench or leveled terraces and contour landforms. Cultivation of fruits like cherries, apples, pears, grapes, walnut, queens’s apple and vegetable like pea, beans, potato, lettuce, gourd, potatoes, turnip etc., is also done in steep to very steep slopes of upper reaches (hills). Linkages with other Institutions 1. Krishi Vigyan Kendras (Srinagar & Ganderbal districts) 2. Department of Agriculture (Srinagar, J & K) Initiative A representative backward and target (SC & ST) village in district Srinagar was selected to conduct PRA for implementing NMHS project for a model on Integrated Farming System. 1. In the selected village we tried to cover the entire farm families including landless labourers in order to understand the situation and identify the problems and priorities of the farmers. 2. Started with individual farmers to understand their resource base of each and every farmer for preparation of individual IFS plan. 3. Schedules which can gather socio-economic information like land holding, cropping system, available animal and poultry resources etc, were prepared and information was collected. The farmers were educated through a series of awareness and training programmes. 4. After analyzing the collected information, suitable models were suggested that can suit needs and priorities of the farmers under the existing location and climate. Accordingly the inputs were provided along with technical information. 5. Twenty cases (farm families) were taken up in each village for detailed analysis and impact studies. Crop Component, Animal (livestock) husbandry, Poultry are the integral part of their livelihood. An effort was made to strengthen each component and integration between the components. a) Area Covered: Representative village from each district of Srinagar, Bandipora, were selected b) Enterprise Covered: Crop components (Maize, Cherry, Apple, Walnut, Cole crops (Vegetables) such as Peas, Beans, Potato, Cucumber, Tomato, Knol khol), livestock component (Cow, Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Bee-keeping ANNEXURE-II BRIEF PROFILE OF GUREZ, BANDIPORA Location and Physiography Gurez is a valley located in the high Himalayas in northern district Bandipora of Kashmir province in Jammu and Kashmir.

It is no doubt that our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.
