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.

I hope this pocket size booklet will prove to be an informative and useful reference document for GoAJ&K departments, researchers, scholars, planners, students and all other who may wish to benefit in context of evidence based planning and informed decision making. 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.

(Dr. Syed Asif Hussain) Additional Chief Secretary (Dev.)
