تعلیمی اداروں میں کھیلوں کی اہمیت
تعلیمی اداروں کا وجود ایک صحت مند معاشرے کے قیام اور اس کو استحکام بخشنے کے لیے انتہائی ضروری ہے۔ ترقی یافتہ اقوام کی ترقی اور عروج تعلیمی اداروں کا مرہونِ منت ہے۔ جن ممالک کے تعلیمی ادارے فعّال کردارادا کررہے ہوتے ہیں اُن کی افرادی قوت مضبوط ہوتی ہے۔ اُن کے افرادسطحی سوچ کے حامل نہیں ہوتے، اُن کے فکری، نظری، روحانی، جسمانی قویٰ کبھی کسی ضعف اور نقاہت کا شکار نہیں ہوتے، جس طرح تعلیمی اداروں کا وجود اہم ہے اسی طرح اس میں وقوع پذیر ہونے والی جملہ سرگرمیاں بھی اہم ہیں اور بالخصوص کھیلوں کی اہمیّت تو تعلیمی اداروں میں اور بھی زیادہ ہے۔ کیونکہ صحت مند جسم اور صحت مند دماغ کے لیے یہ بڑا واضح کر دار ادا کرتی ہیں۔
تاریخ اقوام عالم پر نظر دوڑائیں تو کاروبار اور محنت و مشقت کے ساتھ ساتھ ایسے لمحات بھی نظر آتے ہیں جن میں تفریح اور کھیل کود کے سوا کچھ نہیں ہوتا، اپنے متعین کردہ اوقات میں وہ صرف اور صرف کھیل کود اورتفریحی پروگراموں سے لطف اندوز ہوتے ہیں۔ کھیل کود کا تصور جس طرح دیگر مذاہب میں موجود ہے اسی طرح وُہ اسلام میں بھی موجود ہے، محسنِ کائنات حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم نے بھی تیرا کی اور دوڑ کے مقابلوں میں حصہ لیا۔ کھیل اور تفر یحی پروگرام کردار پر بڑا اچھا اثر ڈالتے ہیں۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ دیگر ممالک کی طرح پاکستان کے نظام تعلیم میں کھیل کا تصور کلیتاً موجود ہے۔ اوقاتِ تعلیم و تدریس میں با قاعدہ ڈرل کے نام سے کھیل کا ایک پیریڈ مقرر کر دیا جا تا ہے۔ جس میں طلباء کو فزیکل انسٹرکٹر مقررہ مشقیں کرواتا ہے۔ طلباء ذہنی آسودگی محسوس کرتے ہیں اور دن بھر کی رطب و یابس...
This paper focuses the issue of shrinking civic space in Pakistan. The study presents civil society activists’ responses on this issue, highlights their perception, present and future strategies to address this issue, and their effectiveness, as such, as well. Pakistan presents a unique case due to its involvement in the ‘war on terror’ and the consequences being faced by both the state and society at large. Present shrinking of civil society action is directly linked with it. In an attempt to grapple with the problems emerging from ‘war on terror’, the overgrown state is encroaching upon citizens’ space, thus denying the civil society to play its due role which can provide safety for the state as well. The preferred strategies of the NGOs include lobbying with parliamentarians and mobilizing the citizenry about the situation.
Keeping in view the low fertilizer and water use efficiency of autumn sugarcane in Pakistan, a research project was initiated at the research area of the Rukh Bibi campus of Gomal University Dera Ismail Khan and Main Line Lower Land Reclamation Research Station Chak No 37 TDA (Thal Development Authority) Bhakkar during 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 to provide a practicable package of resource conservation technology to sugarcane growers under arid envirnment. Three experiments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement, replicated 4 times. The net plot size was 24m 2 . Approved sugarcane variety HSF 240 was used in all experiments. In first experiment four NPK doses F 1 (0-0-0), F 2 (100-100-100), F 3 (150-150-100), F 4 (200-200-100) and F 5 (250- 200-100) kg ha -1 and four planting patterns like G 1 (60), G 2 (75) cm spaced single row planting pattern, G 3 (30/90), and G 4 (30/120) cm spaced paired row strip planting pattern were studied. In secand experiment four available soil moisture depletion levels (ASMDL) including ASMDL 1 (20%), ASMDL 2 (40%), ASMDL 3 (60%) and ASMDL 4 (80%), four planting patterns viz. G 1 (60), G 2 (75) cm spaced single row planting pattern and G 3 (30/90), G 4 (30/120) cm spaced paired row strip planting pattern were studied. In third experiment four Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) levels viz. NAA 0 (control), NAA 1 (60), NAA 2 (120) and NAA 3 (180) ml ha -1 were applied at four plant growth stages S 1 (Germination), S 2 (Tiller formation), S 3 (Cane formation) and S 4 (Cane maturity) stage. Data were recorded on various growth and yield parameters like germination %, number of shoots m -2 , shoot dry weight (SDW), Crop growth rate (CGR), Leaf area index (LAI), Leaf area duration (LAD), Net assimilation rate (NAR), number of millable canes m -2 , weight per stripped cane, cane length; cane diameter, stripped-cane yield, sugar yield (SY), benefit cost ratio (BCR), fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) in all experiments. In first trail under arid conditions on silty clay and sandy loam soils, the highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) were obtained from the combination of 200–200-100 kg NPK ha -1 and 30/90 cm spaced paired row strip planting pattern. In secand trail, maximum economic benefit was obtained by irrigating sugarcane crop at 40% ASMD level and planting it in 30/90 cm spaced paired row strips under arid conditions on silty clay and sandy loam soils. In the third trail maximum economic benefit was obtained from normal investment by applying 120 ml NAA ha -1 at tiller formation stage and maximum sugar recovery percentage was obtained by applying 180 ml of NAA ha -1 at cane maturity stage on silty clay and sandy loam soils. xix It is concluded that sugarcane growers of arid areas can get maximum return from sandy loam and silty clay soils, when sugarcane is planted in 30/90 cm spaced paired row strips with fertilizer dose of 200:200:100 kg NPK ha -1 and field is irrigated at 40% ASMD level with one foliar spray of NAA at the rate of 120 ml ha -1 is applied at tiller formation stage. Production technology evolved through this research has following implications. NAA can also be used as cane ripener and one folier spray of 180 ml NAA ha -1 at cane maturity stage gives maximum sugar recovery percentage. Better water and fertilizer use efficiency of autumn sugarcane on above mentioned soils due to enhanced light interception. Cultural operations in standing crop like irrigation, fertilization, weeding, hoeing, earthing up and foliar spray of pesticides are easily carried out as ample interstrip space is available. Minimum lodging was observed due to avilability of adequate space among the paired row strips. There is also better scope for intercroping to get additional benefits.
