ABSTRACT This study is designed to assess the targeting efficiency, evaluate the welfare impact on the lives of the poor and explore the public perceptions about the performance of Dandot Bait-ulMal (DBM), Official Zakat System (OZS) and Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). To achieve the objectives, primary data is collected from households, through a survey conducted in Dandot and Dhalwal towns of district Chakwal, province Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 800 households are interviewed by using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. To address the objectives, different measures of targeting efficiency and propensity score matching methods are employed. The findings reveal that DBM is the most efficient program since its targeting count gap is the lowest, followed by BISP and OZS. Targeting ratio of BISP is the lowest than that of the other two programs but its beneficiaries also belong to the richest households. The results show that all programs succeed to some extent in targeting poor, however, evidence of type-I and type-II errors is found. No leakage of funds is found in DBM. The third quintile of beneficiaries of OZS doesn't receive 24.5% of funds while about one-fifth of funds are not received by the poorest segment of BISP beneficiaries. About one-third of the beneficiary households get help to register their names with programs. The estimates of matching methods reveal that per adult equivalent food and per capita health expenditure of cash recipients are significantly higher than those of the non-recipients. The significant difference in educational expenditures is also observed between recipients and nonrecipients of DBM and BISP. The poverty status of the BISP beneficiary households is not only higher than the non-beneficiary households but also statistically significant. The cash transfer of BISP is unable to provide any relief in terms of poverty to its beneficiaries. A significant proportion of the beneficiary households feel better off as compared to their position last year. Almost all the respondents report that the DBM has the potential to overcome poverty provided that proper ‘rehabilitation schemes’ are introduced and the ‘well-to-do people are motivated to contribute’ to the program funds. The majority of respondents suggest that the ‘allocation of funds should be raised’, and ‘survey for the identification of the poor should be properly conducted’ to improve the role of the programs. The study implies that these programs can playa vital role in improving the lives of the poverty-ridden segments of the society but it needs sincere efforts on the part of the stake-holders.

علامہ راشد الخیری

علامہ راشد الخیری
ہم نے یہ خبر بھی دلی رنج و افسوس سے سنی کہ ۳؍ فروری کو مولانا راشد الخیری نے اس دار فانی کو خیر باد کہا اور ہندوستان کا طبقۂ نسواں اپنے ایک بڑے معلم اور اپنے حقوق کے ایک بڑے محافظ سے، اور ہندوستانی زبان اپنے ایک بڑے محسن کی خدمات سے ہمیشہ کے لئے محروم ہوگئی، مرحوم شمس العلماء ڈپٹی نذیر احمد کے عزیز قریب اور طرزِ تحریر میں ابتداً ان کے پیرو تھے، مرحوم نے اپنی ادبی زندگی رسالہ مخزن کی ادارت سے وابستہ ہوکر شروع کی، پھر ۲۷ سال گزرے کہ عصمت کے نام سے ایک زنانہ رسالہ جاری کیا، اور ساری عمر طبقہ نسواں میں بیداری پھیلانے اور انہیں تعلیم و تربیت کے زیور سے آراستہ کرنے میں گزاردی، ہندوستان کے طبقۂ نسواں کو بیدار کرنے کی خدمت دو بزرگوں شمس العلماء مولوی ممتاز علی (تہذیب نسواں) اور مولانا راشد الخیری (عصمت) نے انجام دی افسوس کہ یہ دونوں ۶ ماہ کے اندر ہم سے جدا ہوگئے، مولانا راشد الخیری کی تحریک نسواں کا یہ امتیازی وصف تھا کہ وہ حقوق نسواں کے سب سے بڑے حامی کے ساتھ شریعت اسلامی کی حدود کا پاس نگاہ میں رکھتے تھے اور حقوق نسواں کے حامیوں کے اس گروہ کے سب سے بڑے مخالف تھے جو عورتوں کو مغرب کی کورانہ تقلید کی طرف لے جانے والا ہے، وہ ہندوستانی زبان کے مشہور ادیب، اور صاحب طرز انشا پرداز تھے، انہیں لال قلعہ کی پاکیزہ زبان لکھنے پر قدرت حاصل تھی، وہ انسانی درد و مصیبت اور معاشرتی زندگی کا خاکہ کھینچنے میں کمال رکھتے تھے، ان کی صبح زندگی و شام زندگی، ڈپٹی نذیر احمد کی توبۃ النصوح وغیرہ کے پہلو میں رکھے جانے کے قابل ہیں، اور بلاشبہ ان کی کتابیں پڑھ کر آنسوؤں کا ضبط کرلینا دشوار ہے،...

الشيخ محمود بن بكر البخاري الكلاباذي: حياته وآثاره دراسة متخصّصة لكتابه ضوء السراج في علم الفرائض

Ashaykh Mahmūd bin Abī Bakr bin Abīulala bin Alī Al-bukhārī Al-kalābādhī is one of scholars of  Mirāth. He was born in 644 A.H. And died in 700 A.H. He was a man of eminence in Central Asia. He visited many metropolitan cities across the world to get knowledge. During his foreign visits, he contacted great scholars of Islamic sciences. Similarly, thousands of students used to attend his lectures. Allāmah Kalābādhī was a man of letters. He wrote many books. Famous of them are: Ḥall ul Frāi Fī Sharah Naẓm Assirājiyah, Ḍaw us Sirāj Fī Sharah Assirājiyah, Mushtabeh un Nasab Fī Asmā ur Rijāl, Mujamush Shuyūkh, Al Minhāj Al Muntakhab.

Home Pump-Storage Hydroelectric Pshe System As Alternative to Battery Bank in Ups System

The utility companies in Pakistan resorts to routine load shedding as a result of persistent energy crises that has become a long term issue. In order to get relief during load shedding, domestic/residential consumers use UPS with battery backup as a means for powering bare minimum load, mainly consisting of light bulbs and ceiling fans. According to an estimation made by Federal Environment Protection Agency, almost 60% of Pakistani domestic consumers rely on UPS with lead-acid battery as electricity backup and an estimated Rs 30 billion is spent by Pakistanis every year on these backup devices that have flooded the markets. The cost of batteries and its maintenance have imposed a financial burden on consumers using UPS. Furthermore, environmental issues and risks of accidents associated with batteries are also of major concern. A survey was conducted to collect information regarding the use of UPS with battery backup, highlighting the issues related to the technical and economic issues and its impact on consumers. In the present work a detailed study on commonly used local manufactured batteries has been conducted and a cost and load model of Battery/UPS system has been developed. Based on the techno-economic study and green energy concept, a novel idea based on pump-storage hydroelectric (PSHE) scheme to eliminate batteries with UPS has been investigated. Amongst the green energy systems, hydro resources seem to be more promising as compared to wind and solar because of their intermittent nature and their availability at sites. PSHE system is a low cost alternate source of electrical energy based on green energy is therefore essential to replace batteries in UPS system. The prototype model was design to exclude batteries from use with UPS which provide consumers with low cost and reliable option. A comparative techno-economic analysis with UPS/battery backup and PSHE/UPS system has been performed. The power supply system, using PSHE to replace the battery can effectively overcome the inherent defects in wind-solar hybrid system. The project was sponsored by Directorate of Science and Technology (DoST) with the plan to commercialize the project as a cost-effective product (manufactured locally) to the consumers during load shedding and for locations such as remote villages hit hard by load shedding.
