Accurate and timely information of crop area and its production plays an important role to summarize the upcoming situation of market supply and demand. It also provides the foundation to policy makers, stakeholders, government planners and agribusiness community for ideal management of their interests. Remote sensing provides the information about discrete time instant event over a larger area while crop models explain continuous crop growth status on daily basis as function of weather, soil and management. This study was planned with the objective to estimate the area under wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation in Faisalabad district using satellite data and estimate its grain yield by assimilating the remotely sensed information into the CERES-Wheat model under spatiotemporal heterogenous conditions and variable management practices. Before applying the crop model at regional scale, it was calibrated using a field experimental data. In this experiment, three wheat cultivars (Punjab-2011, Aas-2011 and Galaxy-2013) were grown under six levels of deficit irrigation. The experiment was conducted with three replications under strip plot arrangement. Results of experiment proved that stem elongation stage is the least sensitive to drought, and grain formation stage of wheat crop is more sensitive to drought as compared to booting and stem elongation stages. Same grain yield can be achieved by applying 75% of irrigation compared to farmer irrigation practice. Wheat cultivars Punjab-2011 and Galaxy-2013 produced significantly more grain yield than wheat cultivar Aas-2011 and both cultivars are statistically at par to each other. CERES-Wheat model was calibrated and validated using data of field experiment to simulate the crop growth parameters and soil water balance. Model performed very well and simulated results were close to the observed data. Landsat based temporal satellite images were used to estimate the area under wheat cultivation and water index of crop during the crop growth period. Green (G), red (R), near infrared (NIR), shortwave infrared 1 (SWIR1) and shortwave infrared 2 (SWIR2) bands, and NDVI and NDWI indices of both satellites landsat7 and landsat8 were used to develop the metrics (minimum, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, maximum and mean). Median NDWI derived from landsat based temporal images were used to quantify the applied volume of irrigation in wheat cultivated area of Faisalabad district. Calibrated crop model was used to simulate the wheat growth and estimate the wheat yield. Estimated wheat yield by crop model is 5% lower than the estimate of Crop Reporting Service (CRS), Punjab. It shows that assimilation of remotely sensed information into a crop model can be used to estimate the wheat productivity with good accuracy.

مولانا پروفیسرسید محمد اجتباء ندوی

آہ! مولانا پروفیسر سید محمد اجتباء ندوی مرحوم
افسوس کہ گذشتہ ماہ ہندوستان کی ملت اسلامیہ، ایک اور نمایاں اور قابل قدر ہستی کی خدمات سے محروم ہوگئی، خبر آئی کہ مشہور عالم، عربی اور اردو کے ممتاز صاحب قلم مولانا پروفیسر سید محمد اجتباء ندوی نے ۲۰؍ جون کو دہلی میں داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
مولانا مرحوم ہمارے علما کے اس طبقے سے تھے جن کی تعلیم و تربیت خالص دینی بنیادوں پر استوار ہوئی لیکن جن کے فیضان نظر سے عصری تعلیم کے ادارے بھی بہرہ ور ہوئے اور جنہوں نے اپنے علم و عمل سے جدید دانش گاہوں میں صرف دینی اداروں کی عظمت و توقیر میں ہی اضافہ نہیں کیا بلکہ اس مذہبی حمیت و غیرت اور خالص دینی تشخص کی پاسداری، بڑی استواری سے کی جس کا اولین سبق انہوں نے اپنے والد ماجد مولانا سید محمد مصطفی سے حاصل کیا تھا، ان کے والد ضلع بستی میں حضرت سید احمد شہیدؒ کی دعوت اور طرز تربیت میں اپنے جدامجد سید جعفر علی نقوی کے جانشین تھے جن کو امام شہیدؒ کی قربت ومعیت حاصل تھی، حضرت سید احمد شہیدؒ سے تعلق کا مبارک اثر ان کے پورے خاندان پر رہا، جس کی وجہ سے والدین نے بچپن ہی سے اسلامی و اخلاقی کہانیاں سنا کر اور خود اپنے عمل سے ایسی ذہن سازی کی کہ آئندہ زندگی میں وہ جہاں بھی رہے، راہ حق و جادۂ اعتدال سے ذرا منحرف نہیں ہوئے، دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلما کے بعد انہوں نے دمشق یونیورسٹی اور علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی سے سندیں حاصل کیں اور طالب علمی کے بعد معلمی کا دور جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ، کشمیر یونیورسٹی اور الہ آباد یونیورسٹی میں پورا کیا، پروفیسر ہوئے، صدر شعبہ ہوئے، اس کے علاوہ درمیان میں کچھ وقفہ مدینہ منورہ، ریاض و...

پر امن معاشرے میں تعلیم کا کردار

Education play main role in modern society and main purpose of education is to create a society characterized by holiness and reconciliation so that society is filled with a spirit of sympathy, sadness and good will. In no time has the usefulness of education and its spirituality been devalued. Education is recognized as a symbol of the greatness the living nations and civilized society.  Educated society reflects patience humble, grateful, fear and the most important habit such as determination and become an integral part of life. Even the educated society is considered to be a true pioneer of courage and human values. Education plays a positive role in empowering the weakest society. On the other hand educated people can think of the happiness and the well-being of humanity due to the light knowledge and their sincere efforts when working in this society so of course this will directly benefit those who are weak and ignorant in the society and the key to maximizing humanity. The light of education should also go to homes that are deprived of wealth and helplessness. It also means abiding by the law showing respect to women and helping the weak. Controlling bad temper and language being polite and following proper etiquette in a gathering is also part of good social behavior. In short good social behavior is living decently, peacefully, and with dignity among others without hurting or disturbing them. Good social behavior helps us live amicably in our society. It promotes good will and understanding among people and cultivates a clean, healthy environment for all citizens

Effect of Home Environment on Personality and Academic Achievement of Students of Grade 12 in Rawalpindi Division

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of home environment on the academic achievement and personality of students. Home environment has been identified as being an important contributing factor in child’s educational development. Very few researches have dealt with this dimension of education in Pakistan. The population of the study comprised 8533 Intermediate science male and female students of grade 12, who appeared in the Intermediate examination (part 1)2006, taken by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Rawalpindi. The sample of the study included 724 students, 410 were female and 314 were male. Three research instruments were used for data collection. To determine the personality of students a Five Factor personality inventory developed by Dr. Tom Buchanan (2001) was used. The intra-familial environment as perceived by students was measured by using the Index of Family Relations (IFR). Researcher translated these instruments into Urdu and used them after pilot testing. A Demographic Variable Information Performa, developed by the researcher, was used to collect information relating to the demographic variables of the study. The information about the achievement was collected from the Result Gazette of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Rawalpindi. Seventy null hypotheses were tested to find the effect of home environment, socio economic status, family relations, gender, parental education, income of the family, family size, birth order of the student and type of the family on students’ personality and achievement. Data was analyzed by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and t-test. It was concluded from the study that with the exception of birth order and family type, all the independent variables of the study had a significant effect on the academic achievement of students. However students’ personality was partially influenced by these variables.
