The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.

  • A Study of Pre-Processing Technique for Map-Matching Schemes of GPS-Enabled Vehicles

Today’s GPS-enabled vehicles in developed countries generate a big volume of GPS data. On the other hand, the development of new roads in the city enables the road network very complex and difficult to match the vehicles’ location. So therefore, different techniques (i.e., pre-processing techniques) may be applied before the map-matching process is a recent concern of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) research community. In this paper, we introduce the pre-processing technique; splitting the road network graph and processing the Single Source Shortest Path (SSSP) in synchronize parallel processing in the Hadoop environment. The proposed technique enables the map-matching schemes efficient to align the GPS points on the digital road networks. In the experimental work, the results of the map-matching schemes (i.e., found in the literature review) incorporated with our proposed pre-processing technique shows better performance in aspect to the response time.

  • Pakistan Country Consultation Report on UHC2030
    Pakistan Country Consultation Report on UHC2030 1. An Overview of Pakistan to achieve UHC2030 1.1. Universal Health Coverage 2030 Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) is a global health priority embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals and 2019 is a year filled with opportunities to drive progress towards UHC. While there is no one-size fits all model for universal health coverage at a country level, the ideal health system would be one that is comprehensive, integrated, rights-based, non-discriminative and people- centred. 1.2. Pakistan Health Vision (2016-2025) and UHC 2030 The objective of the National Health Vision is to improve the health of all citizens, particularly women and children through providing universal access to affordable quality essential health services and delivering service through a resilient and responsive health system. Federal government will support and facilitate the provinces in developing and implementing their strategies by facilitating/advocating for financial and technical resource mobilization. Government of Pakistan Vision 2025 has identified 5 key enablers and 7 pillars of development for achieving SDGs; the document covers most of the SDGs. The first pillar of development ‘Putting People First’ addresses the need to strengthen the healthcare system in the country and ameliorate issues of poverty, hunger, disease, health, gender inequality, and access to water and sanitation. Specifically, in the context of health-related targets, the Vision aims to reduce child mortality, improve maternal health and combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Access to health is the second largest contributor to multidimensional poverty in the country, and improving access is one of the fundamentals of the Vision 2025 document, thereby, making it directly relevant to promotion of UHC as per SDG 3.8.

  • Tharparkar District Lies in the South-Eastern Part of Sindh Province of Pakistan
    Grassroots, Vol.52, No.I January-June 2018 THAR COAL PROJECT AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION CAPACITY Dr Zahid H. Channa Dr Erum Khushnood Zahid Shaikh Dr Muneer-ud-Din Soomro ABSTRACT Thar coal field area is spread 9100 square Kilometers in Thar Desert area of District Tharparkar Sindh province of Pakistan. The desert area is totally different area of Pakistan due to very limited income generating opportunities, food insecurity, scant water resources, lack of health facilities and low literacy rate. However economic activities depend on the monsoon rain and the major source of income is livestock rearing and agriculture. Hence, a substantial number of people are seasonally migrated in search of food and fodder. The discovery of Coal in 1988 is highlighted at national and international level as a sixth largest lignite coal reserves in the World. For the purpose of coal extraction, Government of Sindh and Pakistan initiated Thar coal projects without local consent of indigenous people of Thar coal field area and such act has a negative impact on the development process. This research paper is to find out the local consent in the shape of community participation in the Thar Coal Development project. The Study reveals that community awareness and participation is recorded at the lowest level whereas complete negligence of females and just 3% male participated. Moreover, the major source of information is media, rumors and NGOs. ____________________ Keywords: Assessment, Awareness, Community Participation, Consultation, Environment, Stakeholders INTRODUCTION Tharparkar district lies in the south-eastern part of Sindh province of Pakistan. Its population 1,649,661 souls (Census Report of Pakistan, 2017) spread over 19838 square kilometers.

Sindhi language has its own script and written by the right-handed. Nowadays the use of different Sindhi platforms is increasing especially for communication. The majority of the people of Sindh province read, write and speak very well, but they face the problem in text communication while using different communication platforms. However, the users of computer and mobile phone feel trouble/difficulty during the use of the Sindhi script in typing of text messages, tweets and comments while using different platforms in computer and mobile phone. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the better options for the solution of these problems of text communication on different platforms. For the proper solution of text communication issues, Romanized Sindhi text is used instead of Sindhi text. Romanized text writing is easier than the Sindhi text writing because Sindhi text writing needs the special type of keyboard while writing of Romanized text does not need any special type of keyboard. For the writing of Romanized Sindhi text, rules are defined in this paper which provide easiness during writing and understanding of the text.
