آثم مرزا
آثم مرزا (۱۹۳۳ئ۔۲۰۰۳ئ) کا اصل نام مرزا محمد طفیل بیگ تھا۔ آپ سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ (۷۹۱) آثم مرزا بنیادی طورپر ایک افسانہ نگار ہیں لیکن انھوں نے شاعری بھی کی ہے۔ ان کا شعری کلام ملک کے اہم رسائل جرائد ’’محفل‘‘،لاہور ’’اظہار‘‘،کراچی ’’اتالیق‘‘،سیالکوٹ ’’جسارت‘‘کراچی ’’ویمن ڈائجسٹ‘‘،’’حرم‘‘،لاہور ، ’’سیارہ ‘‘،لاہور’’امروز‘‘ لاہور اور ’’شام و سحر‘‘ لاہور میں چھپتا رہا۔ ابھی تک آثم مرزا کا کوئی شعری مجموعہ منظر عام پر نہیں آیا۔
ترقی پسند تحریک کے ہیجانی و جذباتی دور میں آثم مرزا نے افسانوی نثر کے ساتھ ساتھ شاعری کے کوچے میں قدم رکھا۔ اور آزاد نظم کو اپنے خیالات کے اظہار کا ذریعہ بنایا۔ ان کی شاعری میں سیاسی لہر کارفرما نظر آتی ہے۔ مگر انھوں نے خود کو مریضانہ محور پر اشتراکی فلسفے کے تابع نہ کیا بلکہ اپنا اسلامی تشخص برقرار رکھا۔ آثم مرزا کی ایک مشہور نظم ’’مجھے بھی ہتھیاردو‘‘ کے عنوان سے اس کے سیاسی ہونے کا پتہ چلتا ہے لیکن انھوں نے اس نظم میں سیاسی پراپیگنڈہ سے کام نہیں لیا ہے۔ نمونے کے طور پر کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:
مجھے بھی ہتھیار دو کہ میں بھی
ستمگروں کے حصار ظلمت میں قید انسانیت کے بگڑے نقوش کو رنگ روپ دے کر
آزاد کر دوں گا
کہ اُجڑی راہوں میں گمشدہ نکہتوں کے
فانوس جمگمگائیں
کہ فصلِ گُل کی نوید
پت جھڑ کی اوٹ میں بے قرار راہوں کی زندگی کا سرور بخشے(۷۹۲)
اس نظم کے آخر میں وہ نئے عزم کا اظہار اس طرح کرتے ہیں:
مجھے بھی ہتھیار دو
مجھے اس سے محبت ہے
شفق کی نیم واکھڑکی میں
دن کے آخری لمحوں کی ہچگی کی تڑپ
بے نور لمحوں کی دریدہ دامنی کے
زخم کو بے کل بناتی ہے
میں اس کے درد کی ہر لہر میں خود...
The purpose of this study is to analyze the income level of gillnet fishermen <10 GT, to analyze the factors that affect the level of income, and to formulate strategies and solutions to increase income. This research was conducted at the Fish Auction Place (TPI) Pabean Udik, Pabean Udik Village, Indramayu Regency. This location was chosen because the Udik Customs Fish Auction Place (TPI) is dominated by fishermen using gillnet fishing gear who have vessels <10 GT. The method used is the census method with samples taken as a whole. The analysis used in this research is the Logistic Regression Analysis and the SWOT Analysis. Research results obtained by using IBM SPSS, namely for the Sig Value Variable in the Equation is 100%, this value is interpreted by 8 (factors) Independent variables can affect income only educational factors that do not affect income and for the results obtained from SWOT analysis namely to increase the income of gillnet fishermen <10 GT at TPI Pabean Udik, namely the development of technology and fisheries business scale, development of access to capital for fishermen, development of marketing access, development of facilities and infrastructure at TPI Pabean Udik, Development of diversification of fish management and environmentally friendly fisheries management.
Irrigation is one of the most important ingredients of the Green Revolution technology, which took place in early 70’s. With out irrigation water, desirable results, of the new agricultural technology cannot be achieved. NWFP is mainly a mountainous region and its agriculture is characterized by low yield per unit and poor application of required inputs. About 54% of the total cultivated land still depends on rainfall which is scantly. Keeping in view the wide scope and importance of irrigation for enhancing agricultural output the present study was initiated. The study aims to analyze the existing situation of tube well irrigation and to pinpoint the main causes of slow diffusion of tube well technology in NWFP. Moreover, an attempt was also made to examine the role of extension agent in the adoption and diffusion of tube well technology. This study was based on primary as well as secondary data. The universe of the study consisted of the whole NWFP. Multistage sampling method was used to select a required sample, from four districts randomly selected. The number of respondents interviewed from district Charsada were 92, from DIK 70, from Malakand 68, and 61 respondents from district Nowshera, hence the total sample size was 291. The selected respondents were grouped into three categories namely small (146), medium (81) and large (64). The average size of land holding was 8 acres for small, 16 for medium and 92 acres for large farmers. Fragmentation seriously constrained tube well installation in the study area. The rate of tube well installation was less than 10 per year on average, thus there is clear justification and wide scope for future expansion if tube wells in the study area. Tube well irrigation not only enhances agricultural productivity, but socio-economic condition of the farmers was also improved. The role of government and NGO’s remained insignificant, because 288 respondents installed tube wells by themselves. The soil of the study area was found suitable for tube well installation. Moreover, water table was cost effective for the respondents in the study area. The discharge capacity of tube wells in the study area ranged from 2” to 4”. Majority of the respondents (96%) did not test the quality of water and soil. The overwhelming majority of the respondents (266) could not get loan. Extension services were heavily criticized and their role in the adoption and diffusion was negligible. The linkages among farmers, extension workers, and research institutes remained weak and poor. Small farmers were more prone to operational problems. The main operational problems were lack of spare parts, shortage of power, lack of skilled labour, and frequent load shedding of electricity. Almost all the sample respondents reported inadequate and untimely availability of inputs. The main factors responsible for late adoption and slow diffusion of tube well technology are; size of land holding, poor financial condition, lack of technical know how, topography, lack of power supply (electricity/diesel), inefficient and ineffective extension staff, imperfect market and policy negligence of the government. As a policy matter farmers (particularly small farmers) need to be encouraged to install tube wells, through the provision of soft loans and technical assistance.
