Agricultural education is the key component of development and growth of agriculture. This becomes essential when agriculture provides the base for economy of any country like Pakistan. This has vital role for building the capacity of the people in agricultural profession. Many universities and colleges have been offering agricultural education at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels and lastly, they have also started intermediate pre-Agriculture program. At the same time, the subject of agriculture has been a part of elementary school for many years. This analysis leads to conclusion that the gap that is still existing for the provision of agricultural education at secondary level. To fill this gap, at first level, the curriculum of agriculture must be in hand to start this program but still that has not been developed and launched at secondary level. This study aims at exploring the propositions of agricultural education curriculum and its teaching strategies at secondary level. This research automatically leads to fulfill the demand for agriculture education in schools to provide skilled persons as massive agricultural workforce. The objectives of the study were: a) To review the national educational policies, plans, projects and policy documents regarding agricultural education at secondary level. b) To assess the need of agricultural education for secondary level in relation to intermediate pre-agriculture program. c) To explore the possibilities for proposition of curriculum for agricultural education according to opinions of experts from agriculture. d) To explore teacher training strategies in relation to possibilities of agricultural education at secondary level through the opinion of experts from teacher education. The nature of study was descriptive. The study was conducted in three steps. At the first step; documentary analysis technique was used. Further, the need of agricultural education curriculum for secondary level was assessed. Purposive sampling technique was used to select subject specialists from University of Agriculture Faisalabad and Rawalpindi. At the second step; the data were collected through three round Delphi technique for proposition of agricultural education curriculum. At third step; purposive sampling technique was used to select expert teachers in teacher education from universities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. At this step, possible ways were proposed for teacher training in agricultural education at secondary level. The data were analyzed with frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The qualitative data were analyzed by themes and analytical approach. This research suggests that agriculture education may be launched at secondary school level and proposed some possibilities to fit agriculture education at secondary level. It is highly recommended that agriculture may be teach as an elective subject in science group. The research suggests that advance knowledge in field of agriculture with pedagogical skills are necessary for teaching of agriculture at secondary level like BS. or B.Sc. (Hons.) in agriculture with B.Ed. or advance diploma in teaching of agriculture. So, this study provides practical directions to policy makers and curriculum planners.

حب الوطنی

حب الوطنی
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اساتذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’حب الوطنی ‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
جہاں تک حب اور محبت کا تعلق ہے تو کائنات رنگ و بو میں جتنا ذکر محبت کا ہوتا ہے شاید کوئی اور اصطلاح اتنی استعمال نہ ہوتی ہو ،کبھی کوئی اولاد سے محبت کا ذکر کرتا ہے۔ کبھی خوشبو سے محبت کا ذکر کیا جاتا ہے، کبھی دوستوں سے محبت کی پتنگیں بڑھائی جاتی ہیں،کبھی جائیداد سے محبت کا ذکر خیر ہوتا ہے بلکہ جائیداد کی محبت میں تو کشت و خون کا سلسلہ بھی روا رکھا جا تا ہے، سیم وزر سے محبت کی جاتی ہے۔ سونے چاندی کے اضانے میں اپنی تمام توانائیاں صرف کی جاتی ہیں، کوئی اولاد سے محبت کرتا ہے، کوئی مال سے محبت کرتا ہے، کوئی جان سے محبت کرتا ہے، اور وہ شخص کتنا خوش نصیب ہے جس کو اللہ اور اس کے رسولؐسے محبت ہوتی ہے۔
معزز سامعین!
بحیثیت مسلمان ہماری حقیقی محبت کا تقاضا یہی ہے کہ ہماری محبت کے جملہ پہلو سرورِ کائنات کی ذات با برکات کے لیے ہوں۔ اور آپؐ کے ساتھ محبت اس بات کی بھی متقاضی ہے کہ آپ کے ہر قول وفعل کو من وعن تسلیم کیا جائے اور پھر ہر زاویے سے اس پر عمل کرنے کی کوشش کی جائے ، اس میں ہماری دنیوی و اُخروی کامیابی ہے۔ سرکارِ دو عالمؐ کا ارشاد گرامی قدر ہے کہ حب الوطن من الایمان کہ وطن سے محبت ایمان سے ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
وطن کی محبت ایمان سے ہے اس کا اگر بنظر عمیق جائزہ لیں تو اسلام کے جملہ احکام بالخصوص اسی محبت کی تکمیل کے خواہاں ہیں۔...

التعادل الوظيفي بين المحررات الإلكترونية والورقية: دراسة مقارنة

إن دقة ووضوح المحرر الإلكتروني جعلته يتساوى مع المحرر الورقي بل يتفوق عليه أحياناً، وحتى لا تهمش التشريعات المقارنة حجية المحررات الإلكترونية في الإثبات، كان عليها الاخذ بمبدأ التعادل الوظيفي بين المحررات الإلكترونية والورقية استجابةً لمركب التشريعات الحديثة وإغناءً لمنظومة الإثبات في التشريع المقارن، كما أن البحث في هذا الموضوع قد يؤدي إلى ازدياد ثقة المتعاملين في اعتماد المحررات الإلكترونية، ولتحقيق النتيجة من الدراسة تم إتباع المنهج التحليلي والمقارن، وتوصلنا إلى أن المحررات الموثقة على الدعامة الإلكترونية توفر هي الأخرى الضمانة والمصداقية والاستمرارية كما هو الحال بالنسبة للدعامة الورقية بشكلها التقليدي، وعليه يتوجب على التشريعات المقارنة توسيع نطاق تطبيق المحررات الإلكترونية في التصرفات القانونية وإسباغها حجية كاملة في الإثبات شأنها شأن المحررات الورقية.

Biodiversity, Faunistic Studies of the Family Sphingidae: Lepidoptera from Pakistan and Azad Kashmir With Their Cladistic Analysis

Twenty-nine species belonging to twenty-one genera representatives of six tribes viz., Smerinthini, Sphingulini, Acherontiini, Dilophonotini, Macroglossini, and Choerocampini of three subfamilies viz., Smerinthinae, Sphinginae and Macroglossinae of the family Sphingidae with fifteen newly recorded species from different areas of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir are described in detail with special reference to their head, wing venations, fore and hind wings and male and female genital complex where available. In subfamily Smerinthinae, two tribes, the tribe Smerinthini includes seven genera with seven species viz. Smerinthus kindermannnii Lederer, Marumba dyras Walker, Sataspes infernalis Westwood, Leucophlebia lineata Westwood, Clanis deucalion Walker, Clanidopsis exausta Butler, and Polyptychus dentatus Cramer, In tribe Sphingulini only one genus and one species presented, Dolbina grisea Staudinger. The second subfamily Sphinginae includes only one tribe Acherontiini, with two genera, Agrius and Acherontia. In the genus Acherontia two species included A. lachesis (Fabricius), and A. styx Westwood, while in genus Agrius only one species Agrius convolvuli (Linnaeus), presented. The third subfamily Macroglossinae contains three tribes with eleven genera and eighteen species. In five genera having one species of each, Cephonodes hylas (Linnaeus), Nephele hespera (Fabricius), Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus), Gnathothlibus erotus (Cramer), and Pergesa acteus (Cramer). In remaining six genera, Macroglossum with three species M. belis (Linnaeus),M. nycteris Kollar, and M. stellatarum (Linnaeus), Acosmeryx with two species A. anceus Rothschild & Jordan, A.sericeus (Walker), Deilephila with two species D. elepenor (Linnaeus), D. rivularis (Biosduval), Hyles with two species Hyles gallii (Von Rottemburg), Hyles livornica (Esper), Hippotion with two species Hippotion celerio (Linnaeus), Hippotion rosetta (Swinhoe), Theretra with also two species Theretra alecto (Linnaeus),and Theretra oldenlandiae (Fabricius). All the taxa including new records are compared with their closest allies and a key to the subfamilies, genera and species are formulated on the basis of reliable characters, which help readily identify the taxa. The cladistic analysis of the representatives of the family Sphingidae is also attempted using their apomorphic characters. The biodiversity of all the included taxa is also discussed and a map of Pakistan is given to show the distributional range and diversity of the above taxa.
