Historical Maps of Sindh 1600-1843 Ad
HISTORICAL MAPS OF SINDH 1600-1843 AD (473 Historical Maps of Sindh 1600 to 1843 AD in Great Britain and National Archives of India, and Construction of first Map of Sindh before its Conquest) By M.H. PANHWAR I have in my possession about 500 maps of Sindh pertaining to history, historical geography, changing courses of the river Indus, archaeology, physical and topography, geology, ground- water and administrative units, listed in my book “Source Material on Sindh”. In search of rare maps recently I visited Royal Geographical Society, British Museum, India Office Library in London and was able to locate in these institutions’ map departments respectively 48, 31 and 49 maps so far unknown to me. I was also able to get list of 92 maps in the map manuscript section of National Archives of India. New Delhi. The book section of India Office Library has 221 maps, most of them in administrative reports of each Taluka issued periodically. The only important U.K source, which could not be examined was Admiralty Museum at Greenwich. From the studies of these maps as well as the reports of British Missions to Sindh it is now confirmed that British were surveying Sindh since 1808 AD. The major part in surveying and preparation of maps was played by Nicolas Hanky Smith, Pottinger, Todd. Masson, James Burnes, Del Hoste and Alexander Burnes. After the treaty with Talpurs in 1832 AD, large scale surveys were undertaken in which Carless, Campbell Margary, John Jacob and Messuir did mot remarkable work. These officials used most indigenous methods and instruments for the purpose and one cannot but credit them for untiring work in the oppressive climate of Sindh. -

Pakistan National Nutrition Cluster Preparedness and Response Plan
National Nutrition Cluster 3 July 2013 Pakistan National Nutrition Cluster Preparedness and Response Plan The National Nutrition Cluster Preparedness and Response Plan is a common framework to guide the actions of all partners in the nutrition sector in the event of a disaster. It does not replace the need for planning by individual agencies in relation to their mandate and responsibilities within clusters, but provides focus and coherence to the various levels of planning that are required to respond effectively. It is envisioned that the Preparedness and Response Plan is a flexible and dynamic document that will be updated based on lessons learnt in future emergency responses. Each Provincial Nutrition Cluster will develop a Provincial Nutrition Cluster Preparedness and Response Plan, in cooperation with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and the Department of Health (DoH). The Provincial Plans are stand-alone documents, however are linked and consistent with the National Plan. 1. Background The 2011 Pakistan National Nutrition Survey confirmed that Pakistan’s population still suffers from high rates of malnutrition and that the situation has not improved for several decades. Two out of every five (44 percent) of children under five are stunted, 32 percent are underweight and 15 percent suffer from acute malnutrition.1 Maternal malnutrition is also a significant problem; 15 percent of women of reproductive age have chronic energy deficiency. Women and children in Pakistan also suffer from some of the world’s highest levels of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The malnutrition rates are very high by global standards and are much higher than Pakistan’s level of economic development should warrant.
