1 Impact of Aga Khan Rural Support Program's Gender Strategy On
Impact of Aga Khan Rural Support Program’s Gender Strategy on Rural Women in District Chitral Rabia Gul Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad Email: [email protected] Abstract The study was conducted in Chitral Valley in the North of Pakistan to explore the gender related activities introduced by the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP).The findings show that the AKRSP has been playing a key role in the development of women in the area and initiated development programs in water supply, health and credit facilities. It imparted trainings for the local women in different disciplines through the Women Organizations (WO’s) established in the area. These trainings were recorded and mostly repeated via video cassettes in different villages. Posters and charts were also used to make the trainings easier for the local women to understand. The AKRSP has also been successful to take few hours daily from the Local Government Radio in the area and communicate to the women in their local language about certain issues such as personal hygiene, procedure to get and pay back loans from the micro finance bank of AKRSP, about agricultural practices etc. Practical adoption of these trainings has made positive effect in the lives of the local women in terms of improved agricultural products and increase in income of the respondents. Further, the AKRSP is looking into the possibility of establishing a Community Radio which if established will play a major role for the development of the area. Thus, it is concluded that the AKRSP has made invaluable contributions in improving the access of women to education, health resources and economic empowerment opportunities. -

Claiming Territory: Colonial State Space and the Making of British India’S North-West Frontier
CLAIMING TERRITORY: COLONIAL STATE SPACE AND THE MAKING OF BRITISH INDIA’S NORTH-WEST FRONTIER A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Jason G. Cons January 2005 © 2005 Jason G. Cons ABSTRACT In this thesis, I examine the discursive construction of colonial state space in the context of British India’s turn of the century North-West Frontier. My central argument is that notions of a uniform state space posited in official theorizations of the frontier need to be reexamined not as evidence of a particular kind of rule, but rather as a claim to having accomplished it. Drawing on new colonial historiographies that suggest ways of reading archives and archival documents for their silences and on historical sociological understandings of state-formation, I offer close readings of three different kinds of documents: writing about the North-West Frontier by members of the colonial administration, annual general reports of the Survey of India, and narratives written by colonial frontier officers detailing their time and experience of “making” the frontier. I begin by looking at the writings of George Nathanial Curzon and others attempting to theorize the concept of frontiers in turn of the century political discourse. Framed against the backdrop of the “Great Game” for empire with Russia and the progressive territorial consolidation of colonial frontiers into borders in the late 19th century, these arguments constitute what I call a “colonial theory of frontiers.” This theory simultaneously naturalizes colonial space and presents borders as the inevitable result of colonial expansion. -

PANEL: Aryans, Harvesters and Nomads (Thursday July 6 2.00 – 5.00) Convenor: Prof. Asko Parpola: Department of Asian & African Studies University of Helsinki Excavations at Parwak, Chitral • Pakistan. Ihsan Ali: Directorate of Archaeology & Museums, Government of NWFP & Muhammad Zahir: Lecturer, Government College, Peshawar The Directorate of Archaeology & Museums, Government of NWFP, under the supervision of Prof. (Dr.) Ihsan Ali, Director, Directorate of Archaeology & Museums, Government of NWFP, Peshawar has completed the first ever excavations in Chitral at the site of Parwak. The team included Muhammad Zahir, Lecturer, Government College, Peshawar and graduates of the Department of Archaeology, University of Peshawar. Chitral, known throughout the world for its culture, traditions and scenic beauty, has many archaeological sites. The sites mostly ranging from 1800 B.C. to the early 600 B.C, are popularly known as Gandhara Grave Culture. Though brief surveys and explorations were conducted in the area earlier, but no excavations were conducted. The site of Parwak was discovered by a team of Archaeologists from Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Government of NWFP and Boston University, USA in a survey conducted in June 2003 under the direction of Prof. (Dr.) Ihsan Ali and Dr. Rafique Mughal. The site is at about 110 km north east of Chitral, near the town of Buni, on the right bank of river Chitral and set in a beautiful environment. The site measures 121 x 84 meter, divided in to three mounds. On comparative basis, the site is datable to the beginning of 2nd millennium BC and represents a culture, commonly known as Gandhara Grave Culture of the Aryans, known through graves and grave goods. -

A Remote Sensing Contribution to Flood Modelling in an Inaccessible

Chun3 5 1 Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Department, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan 6 2Nazarbayev University, 53 Kabanbay Batyr Avenue, Astana, 010000, Kazakhstan 7 3Hong Kong Baptist University, Baptist University Rd, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong 8 9 * Correspondence: [email protected]; WhatsApp: +7-702-557-2038, +1-269-359-5211 10 11 Abstract: Flash flooding, a hazard which is triggered by heavy rainfall is a major concern in many 12 regions of the world often with devastating results in mountainous elevated regions. We adapted 13 remote sensing modelling methods to analyse one flood in July 2015, and believe the process can be 14 applicable to other regions in the world. The isolated thunderstorm rainfall occurred in the Chitral 15 River Basin (CRB), which is fed by melting glaciers and snow from the highly elevated Hindu Kush 16 Mountains (Tirick Mir peak’s elevation is 7708 m). The devastating cascade, or domino effect, 17 resulted in a flash flood which destroyed many houses, roads, and bridges and washed out 18 agricultural land. CRB had experienced devastating flood events in the past, but there was no 19 hydraulic modelling and mapping zones available for the entire CRB region. That is why modelling 20 analyses and predictions are important for disaster mitigation activities. For this flash flood event, 21 we developed an integrated methodology for a regional scale flood model that integrates the 22 Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, Geographic Information System (GIS), 23 hydrological (HEC-HMS) and hydraulic (HEC-RAS) modelling tools. -
