Azad Jammu & Kashmir at a Glance 2017 Azad Jammu & Kashmir At A Glance 2017 1 Foreword It is indeed a great pleasure to bring out “Azad Jammu & Kashmir at a Glance 2017” in shape of annual brochure for the first time by P&DD, GoAJ&K. The brochure contains AJ&K brief history and important data about socio economic status of the State and reflects development trends.

For easy accessibility and convenience of the general public, this brochure is also uploaded on the official website of P&DD AJ&K i.e www.pndajk.gov.pk I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all those who contributed towards compilation of this document by putting extra efforts. I look forward for further improvement and welcome feedback and suggestions in this regard.

Accepted 17 May, 2012 From ancient times, plants are being used in treatment of various diseases. Many of today’s drugs have been derived from plant sources. This research work reveals the indigenous medicinal knowledge of important medicinal plants from district Kotli Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan. A total 25 common medicinal plants belonging to the 14 families were reported. Their medicinal and other botanically important uses are described by conducting a meeting and interviews from a total of 137 local inhabitants including 73 males, 47 females and 17 Hakims (herbal specialists). Primary source of indigenous medicines were herbs (56%), shrubs (28%) and trees (16%). Herbal preparations were made by the different plant parts. Most common plant part used to make the herbal preparation was leaf (39%) followed by the root (19%), whole plant (12%), seed (9%), bark (7%), fruit (7%), flower (5%) and tuber (2%).

  • Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan
    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2014 Jun;32(2):301-313 ©INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIARRHOEAL ISSN 1606-0997 | $ 5.00+0.20 DISEASE RESEARCH, BANGLADESH Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Nazish Jabeen, Sajid Malik Human Genetics Program, Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, 45320 Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Kashmiri population in the northeast of Pakistan has strong historical, cultural and linguistic affini- ties with the neighbouring populations of upper Punjab and Potohar region of Pakistan. However, the study of consanguineous unions, which are customarily practised in many populations of Pakistan, revealed marked differences between the Kashmiris and other populations of northern Pakistan with respect to the distribution of marriage types and inbreeding coefficient (F). The current descriptive epidemiological study carried out in Bhimber district of Mirpur division, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, demonstrated that consanguineous marriages were 62% of the total marriages (F=0.0348). First-cousin unions were the predominant type of marriages and constituted 50.13% of total marital unions. The estimates of inbreeding coefficient were higher in the literate subjects, and consanguinity was witnessed to be rising with increasing literacy level. Additionally, consanguinity was observed to be associated with ethnicity, family structure, language, and marriage arrangements. Based upon these data, a distinct sociobiological structure, with increased stratification and higher genomic homozygos- ity, is expected for this Kashmiri population. In this communication, we present detailed distribution of the types of marital unions and the incidences of consanguinity and inbreeding coefficient (F) across various sociodemographic strata of Bhimber/Mirpuri population. The results of this study would have implication not only for other endogamous populations of Pakistan but also for the sizeable Kashmiri community immigrated to Europe.

Accepted 22 August, 2011 The mainstream of people residing in Hattian Bala District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan are dependent on medicinal plants for their healthcares. The indigenous medicinal knowledge is in serious danger, as this knowledge is being shifted from generation to generation. Now, modern generation is not paying much attention to save this treasure due to western medicines. This study’s aim is to report the use of medicinal plants by traditional healers and local people to treat various human diseases in the rural and sub urban areas of the study area, which is yet to be reported from an ethno medicinal aspect. Research was conducted by means of open ended and semi-structured questionnaire based interviews. A total of 12 local healers and 91 local people were interviewed, and a total of 24 plant species belonging to 16 families were recorded.

E N V I R ON M E N T 18 H O W Y O U C A N H E L P 19 The tremendous success of this office is a testament not only to the dynamic team of young men and women who have worked voluntarily and relentlessly since the establishment of the office, but a credit to the generosity of the Mirpuri community in Kashmir and here in the UK. Moreover, MH Mirpur has from the outset, focused on delivering aid though strong partnerships with grass-roots community groups, the Government and the private sector. Not only does this reduce duplication and wastage – evidence shows that only such partnerships can produce lasting change. May Allah reward all those who have made this work possible. The rapidly expanding Safe Drinking Programme, which has already seen 16 modern water filtration plants installed across Mirpur in less than a year has been the most prominent intervention made my MH Mirpur – however, much good work has been done in the areas of education, medical care and environmental protection to name but a few.
