All praises be to The One, Who blesses and awards without concern for any gain in return, and to The One, Who created the human race as being the best in all of His creations and while granting the understanding and ability to exercise the right, appointed them as deputy (or Vice) in His own domain. He is the True Accomplisher, The First and The Last, The Hidden and The Most Apparent, knowing all that is secretive and enigmatic.

  • Final Report
    FINAL REPORT CRP 1.1: Dry Land Systems CRP Activity Title: Improving Water and Land Productivity in Rain fed Systems Using Community- based Water and Agronomic Management Approaches. Sub-Activity Title: Capacity building of women of farming community for value-addition to locally-produced fruits and vegetables 1 | P a g e Background Pakistan is an agriculture-based country where majority of the agricultural activities revolve around women, therefore the role of rural women cannot be underestimated or ignored in rural development. The value addition in the form of preservation and processing of agricultural produce has tremendous potential for providing employment and additional income to farm families in rural catchments. Important aspects for promotion of value addition of fruits and vegetables are lower income from sale of fresh commodities in the market, high post-harvest losses due to perishable nature, considerable potential to generate employment, diversify income and improve food security in Pakistan. Increasing production is one approach to improving farm incomes and food availability, but an additional strategy with considerable promise is to add value to agricultural produce. Improved post-harvest handling, processing and marketing achieves value added products and is perhaps the most viable means to reduce poverty and improve rural livelihoods. At initial level, value addition of locally-produced fruits and vegetables for livelihood can develop skills of the rural communities leading to commercialization in the long run as it requires proper certification. Many rural areas that are faced with a declining number of farm jobs consider the food processing sector as a source of potential income and employment growth.

  • A Case Study of Mahsud Tribe in South Waziristan Agency
    RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY By MUHAMMAD IRFAN MAHSUD Ph.D. Scholar DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (SESSION 2011 – 2012) RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE (December, 2018) DDeeddiiccaattiioonn I Dedicated this humble effort to my loving and the most caring Mother ABSTRACT The beginning of the 21st Century witnessed the rise of religious militancy in a more severe form exemplified by the traumatic incident of 9/11. While the phenomenon has troubled a significant part of the world, Pakistan is no exception in this regard. This research explores the role of the Mahsud tribe in the rise of the religious militancy in South Waziristan Agency (SWA). It further investigates the impact of militancy on the socio-cultural and political transformation of the Mahsuds. The study undertakes this research based on theories of religious militancy, borderland dynamics, ungoverned spaces and transformation. The findings suggest that the rise of religious militancy in SWA among the Mahsud tribes can be viewed as transformation of tribal revenge into an ideological conflict, triggered by flawed state policies. These policies included, disregard of local culture and traditions in perpetrating military intervention, banning of different militant groups from SWA and FATA simultaneously, which gave them the raison d‘etre to unite against the state and intensify violence and the issues resulting from poor state governance and control.

A deliberate release of biological agents whether by terrorist groups or individual perpetrators constitutes an immediate threat to the life and health of the people. Many biological agents can spread infectious diseases or cause illness in humans. In the 21st century, infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unsettled problems in the arena of biosecurity and health security. Moreover, the rapid development of biotechnology leads to an increased threat of biological weapons. Therefore, this article articulates how a state can effectively protect the health and life of its citizens from these threats. The main objective of this paper is to encapsulate the perilous weaknesses in existing preparedness for countering biological risks.
