Cast and Baradri System and Voting Behavior in Pakistan (Elections 2018): a Case Study of Hafizabad District
Cast and Baradri System and Voting Behavior in Pakistan (Elections 2018): A Case Study of Hafizabad District Karim Haider Muhammad Arshad Ali This study scrutinizes the impact of caste and Baradri system on voting behavior evolving from Pakistan’s general elections of 2018. Traditionally, the caste and Baradari system have been playing a substantial role in the elections of Pakistan since its birth especially in the region of Punjab. After the partition the evolution and modernization of electoral system and introduction of democratic institution in Pakistan never fully changed the customary value-system of the society of Punjab which is largely based on caste and Baradari system. With specific reference to caste and Baradari system in Punjab, an analytical research has been made to understand profound origins of Caste and Baradari System and its impact on the voting behavior of four selected constituencies, one of National Assembly and three of Provincial Assembly of Punjab in one of the districts of province of Punjab in general elections of 2018. Further, this study explains that the Punjab is based on social divergence with national political culture; therefore, the people of Punjab always look standing with the authoritarian rule which begins from family system and ends at national politics of Pakistan. Having majority seats in National Assembly the role of Punjab is very important and study about the voting behavior of the people of Punjab has special reference to national politics. Introduction Baradari defined as “brotherhood” initiated by the Persian language word Baradar meaning “brother”. Muslims of south Asian region especially in India and Pakistan, a large number of socialclasses are separated on the origin of Biradaris. -

NCtONGOVERNMENTALORGANIZATION ALTERNATIVES AND FRESH INITIATIVESIN EXTENSION The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme Experience Shoaib Sultan Khan* In the backdrop of the Ethiopiancrisis a few years ago, the London Economisthad sounded a note of warning to the advocatesof nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs) taking over countrywide implementationof emergencyaid and developmentprograms and had instead urged efforts at persuading governmentsto act like NGOs. The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP)is an experiment in demonstratinghow governmentscan launch countrysidedevelopment and extension programs in an effective and equitableway. ConceptualPackage As against the traditionalapproach of having an army of extensionworkers for delivery of services, AKRSP relies on fosteringrural cadres of extensionworkers from within the beneficiariesto undertakethe job. However, there are certain prerequisitesthat have to be put in place before the poor of the world can be helped. The most importantrequirement is fostering a frameworkof grassroots institutions.Institution building thus becomes the sine quo non for all future developmental and extension activities. AKRSPbegan its activitiesmore than 9 years ago, on clearly establishedobjective concepts and operationalprinciples. Every villagethe ManagementGroup (MG) of AKRSPvisited was offered a developmentpartnershiD with clearly articulatedobligations encompassing willingness of villagers to (a) organize and cooperativelymanage their affairs; (b) generatetheir own capital through savings; and (c) upgrade -

Abstract Fluctuations in climatic conditions enhances flood vulnerability, especially in the agricultural lands that lie alongside the river. This paper evaluates the causes of flood, variations in the spatial extent of flood peak dates and investigates the socio-economic impacts of flood, in district Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab, Pakistan for year 2010 and 2014. Primary data was collected through questionnaires from the farmers owning agricultural lands in the study area. Secondary data was obtained from various government organizations. Results prove that the effects of 2014 flood were more severe than 2010. Tehsil Phalia was badly destroyed in 2014 flood because it is located along side River Chenab. Flood left great effects on socio-economic life of people living in study area. For the prevention from the future floods, it is necessary to take mitigation measures and the policy of the government must be changed from disaster response to disaster mitigation. According to flood victims, structural and non-structural measures both are very important for the flood prevention. -

Advocacy in Action: Scaling Social Mobilization in Pakistan Rural Support Programmes
JULY 2013 Advocacy in Action: Scaling Social Mobilization in Pakistan “I never had it that good as during Mr. Shaukat Aziz’s tenure as Prime Minister. RSP’s suddenly started becoming the centerpiece for poverty reduction programs. I would often take liberties with him and argue about the importance of social mobilization in poverty reduction… Finally, Social Mobilization received the biggest boost at his hands for which the two million rural poor households would remain ever indebted to him and so also the RSP Network and all its members.” Shoaib Sultan Khan As Shoaib Sultan Khan offered this toast at the farewell dinner in honor of his friend, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, he thought of the events that had led to that moment. It was the 14thof December 2007, two weeks after the signing of a major agreement with the Pakistani government that saw his nearly three decades of work with the Rural Support Programmes (RSPs) in Pakistan receive a major recognition and boost in funding. Twenty five years before, in December 1982, Shoaib had moved to the mountainous region of Gilgit to set up the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP). By 2007, he had become the leader of a movement of more than 5,000 like-minded professionals working in RSPs all across Pakistan. The movement had empowered nearly two million rural households to take control of their own progress. The social mobilization approach Shoaib had developed and perfected over the years with the RSPs was by then a mainstream development policy of the government. Champions within the government had provided crucial support for this accomplishment.
