معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے طالب علم ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع فراہم کیا گیا ہے وہ ہے:’’اُمّیدبنو،تعمیر کرو سب مل کر پاکستان کی‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
امید مایوسی کو جڑ سے کاٹ کر رکھ دیتی ہے۔ قنوطیّت ا ور نا امیدی کی فضاء میں نشوونما پانے والا شجرکبھی بارآور ثابت نہیں ہوتا، امید ا یک نوید ِجاں فزا ہے، اُمید کی کرن ظلمت کدہ جہاں میں نور ثابت ہوتی ہے، امید کے سہارے چلنے والاشخص کبھی نہ کبھی در منزل پرضرور دستک دیتا ہے۔
صدرِمحفل!
پاکستان ہمارا ملک ہے، پاکستان ہمارا وطن ہے، پاکستان ہماری پیاری سرزمین ہے، پاکستان ہماری جنت ہے، پاکستان کا ہر ذرّہ ہمیں جان سے بھی زیادہ پیارا ہے، پاکستان کے گل وگلستان پاکستان کے صحرا اور ریگستان ، پاکستان کے کھیت اور کھلیان ، پاکستان کے مزدور اور اور دہقان یہ سب ہمارے ہیں۔
صدرِذی وقار!
اس کی جامعات ہمیں زیورِ تعلیم سے مزیّن کرتی ہیں، اس کے محراب وممبرسے ہمارے لیے وعظ و نصیحت کی صدائیں بلند ہوتی ہیں ، اس کے کھیت وکھلیان ہمارے لئے رزق وافر کا انتظام و انصرام کرتے ہیں، اس کی عدالتیں ہمارے لیے انصاف کا بندوبست کرتی ہیں اس کے گلستان و چمنستان ہمارے لیے نکہت و باد بہاری کا سامان بہم پہنچاتے ہیں۔
جنابِ صدر!
تاجر ایماندار ہو گا تو تجارت معیاری ہوگی، منصف مجسمہ خلوص ہوگا تو عدالت کی کرسی اقربا پروری اور رشوت ستانی کی گرد سے صاف ہوگی ، واعظ وخطیب جب صاحب علم و عمل ہوگا تو محراب وممبر سے بلند ہونے والی آواز یں پُر تاثیر ہوںگی ، باغبان کی نیت ٹھیک ہوگی تو گلشنِ...
The aim of Hijrah is philosophically viewed as a way to spread Islam wisely. This was by Allah’s guidance and directive amidst the very bitter atmosphere in Makkah at that time against the early followers of the Islamic religion brought by the Rasulullah (pbuh). The prophetic Hijrah observed from the way it impacted Makkah and Madinah’s societies can be construed as a very important event that provided us with a variety of messages. It also acts as a reflection of our contributions to da’wah and the roles we can assume as good Muslims, by looking at what the Rasulullah (pbuh) and his companions had themselves sacrificed in the Hijrah. In short, Al-Hijra is the time when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers moved from Makkah to Madinah, where they set up the first Islamic state. Islam needed to expand and spread in the world, so the migration resulted in the expansion and preservation of Islam and Muslims. The Rasulullah (pbuh) migrated to Madinah when his enemies in Makkah mistreated him and his followers. It is a fact that the early Muslims in Makkah were greatly troubled by the unbelievers of Quraisy, the tribe of the Prophet (pbuh). The Rasulullah’s (pbuh) popularity in his da'wah efforts to invite his people to Islam was seen as threatening by the people in power in Makkah. The context of Hijrah was seen as urgent and timely as the unbelievers in Makkah had escalated the persecution against Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers. This persecution and a directive from Allah were the main reasons for the migration.
Globally, public sector extension has been under severe criticism for not performing effectively and efficiently and in case of Pakistan the situation is not different. Since independence of the country, several extension approaches and models have been introduced to enhance agricultural production and improve farm income with ultimate objective of raising living standard of rural people but these could not met the required targets and were discarded with the passage of time. Privatization of extension services changes the ownership from public to private sector which is also facing so many other challenges. In the situation when the economy of the country is sinking and public sector extension is facing financial constraints, commercialization of extension services is being suggested an alternate option. Keeping in view the above facts, present study was planned to explore and critically analyze the commercialization of agricultural extension service. The study was conducted in purposively selected one district i.e. Sargodha from citrus growing areas in the Punjab. Multistage sampling technique was used for data collection. At the first stage one district (district Sargodha) was selected purposively, at the second stage four tehsils (Silanwali, Kot Momin, Sargodha and Bhalwal) were selected randomly. As it was extremely expensive to interview all the units of the population. So, keeping in view the limitations of time and financial resources, a sample of 400 (100 from each tehsil) was drawn from the entire population by using Fitz-gibbon and Morris (1987) table. The data was analyzed by using computer software i.e. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was found that less than half of the respondents had knowledge about commercialization of agricultural extension services. The results showed that more than one-third of the respondents were willing to pay for advisory services. It was concluded that among all the strengths of commercialization it would lead higher farm output was ranked at 1st position. Commercialization would lead to enhance financial burden on farmers was ranked at 1st position among all the weaknesses in the way of commercialization according to the response of farmers. It was found that commercialization would only be acceptable when these services will be cost effective. It was found that inadequate government guarantees, regulations and control over extension service providers and abuses were one of the major potential constraints identified by the respondents. Among different strategies for reforming of agricultural extension services, structural issue was found major potential constraint among all other obstacles that may found in the way of commercialization. Policy, governance and legal constraints were also found other potential threats in the way of commercialization respectively.
