اماں ملی نہ، ترستے رہے اماں کے لیے
تو زہر پی لیا تسکینِ جسم و جاں کے لیے
ہے میرے سر کو فقط تیرے نقشِ پا کی طلب
مری جبیں ہے ترے سنگِ آستاں کے لیے
خدا کرے کہ یہ ان آندھیوں سے بچ جائے
کہ تنکا تنکا جو رکھا ہے آشیاں کے لیے
نگاہِ بد سے بچے حسن کا وہ صدقہ دے
یہ مشورہ ہے مرا میرے مہرباں کے لیے
وہ ایک ایک مسافر نگاہ میں رکھے
بہت ضروری ہے یہ میرِ کارواں کے لیے
غم حیات کا سورج ہے سر پہ تو کیا غم
کسی کی یاد ہی کافی ہے سائباں کے لیے
چمن کو چھوڑ کے جانے لگے ہیں تائبؔ جی
قسم خدا کی یہ مژدہ ہے باغباں کے لیے

Parental factors impact students’ self-concept and academic performance during the pandemic. Thus, this study determined the students’ self-concept and academic performance and the parental factors related to it. The research design was descriptive-correlational, and 500 nonrandom college students in West Philippines participated in the study. Researcher-made instruments were used, which were subjected to reliability and validity evaluation. Data were collected online from June 2021 to July 2022 and were analyzed using descriptive (frequency counts and percentage) and inferential statistics (Spearman correlation). Results revealed a positive self-concept and satisfactory academic performance among the students. Besides, parental factors such as educational attainment and school/classroom involvement are significantly related to self-concept and academic performance. Further, self-concept is significantly associated with academic performance. This shows that some parental factors are vital in developing the student’s self-beliefs and supporting their studies and academic endeavors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies may consider more factors related to academic achievement and self-concept. Other researchers may find the mediation or moderation effect of self-concept between parental factors and students’ scholastic achievement.
“Disability is a problem of design” Taking inspiration from these six words and considering that the current era is the era of automation and technology, motivation and goals of this project is set accordingly. Addressing this particular issue or taking up this project is to help in creating an inclusive environment for as many people as possible using the technology and innovation. The idea of this project is to minimize the physical constraints of human beings in performing the dependable tasks, often leading to the lack of participation, accessibility and convenience. For now, this idea is considered to be implemented in the shopping marts. An automated cart is to be built that will have the ability to follow a specific user through vision and non-vision techniques and also avoiding obstacles in its path; ultimately fulfilling the objective of the project
