1 | Page District Nutrition Profile Difatten diFATTEN 1 | P a g e District Nutrition Profile 1. Tando Allahyar District Tando Allahyar district, created in May 2005 having previously been a taluka of Hyderabad district, comprises three talukas (namely Tando Allahyar, Jhando Mari and Chambar). The district has a total geographical area of 1,588 square kilometres and shares its borders with the districts of Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Badin, Tando Muhammad Khan, Hyderabad and Matiari. The geographical position of the district is depicted below in Figure 1: Figure 1: Geographical Map of Tando Allahyar District 2. Overall Development Situation in Tando Allahyar District According to the Human Development Index (HDI) of 2013, Tando Allahyar is an underdeveloped district with a value of 0.46, which is lower than the gross HDI value of Sindh province (0.59). The index reflects a composite statistic used to rank life expectancy, education and per-capita Gross National Income in the area to judge the level of “human development” where Medium Human Development ranges from 0.555 to 0.699 and a rank below 0.555 signifies Low Human Development. When compared with the neighbouring districts, Tando Allahyar appears to be in second place after Sanghar and Hyderabad as reflected in Figure 2 belowi. Tando Allahyar and all of its neighbours are in the underdeveloped district category. 2 | P a g e District Nutrition Profile Tando Allahyar District Human Development Index Rankings in Comparison to its Neighbours 0.51 0.51 0.46 0.43 0.42 0.46 0.3 Tando Sanghar Mirpur Badin Tando Hyderabad Matiari Allahyar Khas Muhammad Khan Figure 2: HDI Ranking of Tando Allahyar District and its Neighbours 3.

To tailor the measure to Pakistan’s context and public policy priorities, 15 indicators were used for this national measure instead of the 10 employed for the global measure. Of these 15 indicators, 3 are included under the dimension of education (years of schooling, child school attendance and educational quality), 4 under health (access to health facilities/clinics/Basic Health Units, immunisation, ante-natal care and assisted delivery) and 8 under living standards (water, sanitation, walls, overcrowding, electricity, cooking fuel, assets and a land/livestock indicator specifically for rural areas). All these elements are directly related to nutrition as better education, health and income leads to improved nutrition status within the district. 2 RSPN-Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support (SUCCESS) Programme Page 11 3 RSPN-Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support (SUCCESS) Programme Page 7 4 | P a g e District Nutrition Profile 5.

As a result, the construction of the history made by the conquerors becomes valid without challenge. A change comes when nations fight wars of liberation and become independent after a long and arduous struggle. During this process, leaders of liberation movements are required to use history in order to fulfil their political ends. Therefore, attempts are made to glorify the past to counter the causes of their subjugation. A comprehensive plan is made to retrieve their lost past and reconstruct history to rediscover their traditions and values and strengthen their national identity. However, in some cases, subject nations are so much integrated to the culture of their conquerors that they lose their national identity and align themselves with foreign culture. They accept their version of history and recognize the aggressors as their heroes who had liberated them from their inefficient rulers and, after elimination of their out- dated traditions, introduced them to modern values and new ideas.

  • Sweet Anecdotes of Four Beloved Imams
    “This is an end of the age, and those who are faithful will behold power and miracle of their Imam of the Age, but those having imperfect hearts will however behold miracle publicly, but falsify them. Those who don’t trust in the powers and supernatural events of the Prophet, Apostle and the Imam; their resemblance is that of the stone-blind person. If the mirror and a piece of an earthen vessel are given to the stone-blind person - both of them are alike for him.” - Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah, Bombay, 1st September, 1885 201 - Sweet Anecdotes of Four Beloved Imams By: Mumtaz Ali Tajddin S.Ali [email protected] 1.

It will be a part and parcel of my life to remember the outstanding co-operation of Kamadia Salim Dharas, who indeed remained a driving force of my study during last 15 years.

He was also accompanied by some ladies for the didar of Imam Hasan Ali Shah in Mahallat, Iran. They had to go Port Abbas from Karachi by sea, thence they were to proceed to Kirman by highways.
