مولانا عبدالکریم پاریکھ
یہ خبر بڑے رنج و افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی کہ ممتاز عالم دین اور مشہور ملی رہنما مولانا عبدالکریم پاریکھ ۱۱؍ ستمبر ۲۰۰۷ء کو ناگ پور میں وفات پاگئے، جہاں ان کا خاندان گجرات سے آکر آباد ہو گیا تھا، وہ ۱۵؍ اپریل ۱۹۲۸ء کو اکولہ (مہاراشٹر) میں پیدا ہوئے تھے، ابتدائی تعلیم حاصل کر کے یہیں کولڈ ڈرینگ ہوٹل میں ملازمت اختیار کرلی، پھر اپنا کاروبار شروع کیا جس میں اﷲ نے بڑی برکت دی اور جلد ہی وہ ناگ پور میں لکڑیوں کے بڑے تاجر شمار کیے جانے لگے۔
کاروباری مشغولیت کے ساتھ علم و مطالعہ اور دین سے بھی ان کو شغف رہا، اسی اثنا میں ان کا تعلق مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندویؒ سے ہوا جو روز بہ روز بڑھتا گیا یہاں تک کہ ان کے خلیفہ مجاز ہونے کا فخر حاصل ہوا، مولانا علی میاں ان کی بڑی قدر کرتے اور انہیں اپنے ساتھ جلسوں میں لے جاتے اور ان سے اصلاحی و دعوتی تقریریں کراتے۔
مولانا علی میاں نے پیام انسانیت کی تحریک شروع کی، جس کا مقصد اسلام کے بارے میں غیر مسلموں میں پھیلی ہوئی غلط فہمیوں کا ازالہ اور یہ بتانا تھا کہ اسلام ساری انسانیت کے لیے دین رحمت ہے، اس کی تعلیم امن و آشتی، انسان دوستی، اخوت، بھائی چارگی اور اتفاق و اتحاد کی ہے، فتنہ و فساد اور ظلم و جارحیت سے اس کا کوئی تعلق نہیں، اس تحریک میں مولانا عبدالکریم پاریکھ حضرت مولانا کے دست راست ہوگئے تھے اور ان کی تقریروں سے غیر مسلموں کو بڑا فائدہ پہنچتا تھا۔
مولانا عبدالکریم پاریکھ کی جانب مولانا علی میاں کا اعتنا دیکھ کر ندوے کا ہر شخص ان کا گرویدہ ہوگیا تھا اور وہ ندوہ کے مختلف معاملات میں دخیل اور اس کی کئی کمیٹیوں کے ممبر بھی...
Objective: In order to provide equal educational opportunities, community school networking is an emerging trend to facilitate inclusion of children with mild-moderate Autism. This quantitative research aims to investigate the effectiveness of community networking for children with Autism from Pakistani lower socio-economic stratum of society.
Study Design: Qualitative Research Design
Study Settings and Participants: Six mild-moderate autistic children were enrolled in three mainstreams schools and a liaison between these schools, and a rehabilitation center located in the same area was created to facilitate inclusion. The researchers interviewed six teachers from mainstream schools, three school administrators and one administrator of rehabilitation regarding the effectiveness of community school networking for children with Autism after eight months of this collaboration.
Data Collection Tool: Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews
Results: All participating administrators and teachers underscored the changes in social and behavioral patterns of autistic children which included an imitation of positive behaviors from peers, acceptance, and awareness as strengths of community school networking model. However, major challenges faced were unacceptability from parents of normal children, learning differences, curriculum modifications, time constraints and dependency on the resource teacher. The administrators and teachers recommended that creating awareness programs for parents of normal children, curriculum modifications and in-house psychologists can further facilitate inclusion of children with disabilities.
Conclusion: It was concluded that community school networking model can assist inclusive education and encourage engagement for all children, including those who are autistic.
Over and ill-timed application of nitrogen (N), intensive tillage and heavy irrigation could lead to build up of residual nitrate in surface as well as subsurface soil layers, low fertilizer use efficiency and contamination of ground and surface water with nitrates. This is particularly true in wheat-maize crop rotation where high rates both of N and irrigation and intensive tillage are practiced to get higher yields. However, limited literature is available on the fate of applied N in wheat–maize cropping system in response to tillage, irrigation and fertilizer practices in Pakistan. Hence two experiments were conducted in the Research Area, Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to assess the effect of irrigation, nitrogen and fertilizer practices on soil properties, crop yield, carbon sequestration and NO3-N under wheat-maize cropping sequence for two consecutive years from 2011-2013. In the first study, treatments comprised of three levels of irrigation and four levels of N in split plot design. Three levels of irrigation were 0.7, 1.0 and 1.3 of the estimated evapo-transpiration (ETc). The four N levels were 0, 110, 160 and 210 kg N ha-1 for wheat and 0, 200, 250 and 300 kg N ha-1 for maize, the recommended rate N for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L) in this area is 110 and 200 kg ha-1, respectively. The N was applied either in two splits (50% at sowing + 50% at maximum tillering for wheat, 50% at sowing + 50% at knee height for maize) or three splits (50% at sowing + 25% at maximum tillering + 25% at spike initiation for wheat, 50% at sowing + 25% at knee height + 25% at tasseling for maize), therefore making a total of seven N treatments. In the second experiment, same cropping system was followed, however recommended rate of N (110 and 200 kg N ha-1 for wheat and maize, respectively) was sourced from either urea or combination of urea and farm manure (FM). Thus, there were three fertilizer treatments F1 (100% N from urea), F2 (75% N from urea and 25% N from FM) and F3 (50% N from urea and 50% from FM) at three tillage systems namely MT (minimum tillage), CT (conventional tillage) and DT (deep tillage). The treatments were replicated three times in split plot design using tillage in main plots and fertilizer practices in sub plots. The data on growth and yield parameters were recorded for both the crops at harvest. Before sowing the first crop and after harvesting fourth crop, soil samples were collected and characterized for physical (bulk density, soil saturated hydraulic xx conductivity and total porosity) and chemical (soil organic carbon and nitrate-N) properties following standard procedures. The results from the first study indicated that N at 110 and 250 kg ha-1 for wheat and maize crops, respectively not only increased growth, yield and water use efficiency of both the crops during both the years but also decreased buildup of NO3-N in soil. Application of N in 3 unequal splits (50%+25%+25%) proved better than application of N in 2 equal splits (50%+50%) in terms of improved crop yield, crop N recovery, water use efficiency and less accumulation of NO3-N in soil profile. Application of irrigation water according to crop water requirement was the best treatment in terms of better yield, crop N recovery and water use efficiency along with lower leaching of NO3-N into sub-soil. Deficit irrigation resulted in lower crop yield and higher buildup of residual NO3-N in soil. In contrast, excessive irrigation did not have any additional benefits in terms of crop yield, however resulted in lower water use efficiency and crop N recovery and greater concentration NO3-N in lower depths of soil. Results from the second field study revealed that deep tillage and conventional tillage along with combined application of inorganic and organic N sources (half N from urea + half N from FM) resulted in lower bulk density, higher saturated hydraulic conductivity and root length density (RLD) compared that with the minimum tillage. The results indicated that MT resulted in significantly higher SOC pools in surface soil (0-10 cm), conversely DT and CT caused high SOC pools in 10-40 cm soil depths. Therefore, averaged across 0-40 cm, DT and CT proved better in terms of SOC pools. The DT and CT caused greater RLD and stocks of total N and available P in soil with DT and CT compared to that with MT caused significantly higher crop yield. The DT and CT also resulted in significantly greater accumulation of NO3-N in soil compared to that with MT treatment.
