By Dr. Zawwar Hussain The true wealth of a nation is not measured only by the size of its economy, the height of its buildings or the value of its underground resources. It is also reflected in the health of its forests, the fertility of its soil, the purity of its water and the balance of its natural environment. A country’s ecological strength quietly determines the quality of life of its people. When forests disappear, rivers suffer, temperatures rise and communities become more vulnerable to disasters. Nature’s decline eventually becomes a human crisis. Trees are often described as the lungs…
By Syeda Sonia Imran The Sindh government’s decision to launch a major education reform initiative, with an estimated investment of Rs44 billion over five years for the education of special children, represents an important recognition of one of the province’s most pressing challenges: ensuring that every child has access to quality learning opportunities. For decades, education in Sindh has faced a number of persistent problems, including inadequate infrastructure, shortages of trained teachers, weak monitoring systems and limited access to modern teaching methods. While government schools remain the primary source of education for millions of children, many institutions continue to struggle…
By Akhlaque Ahmad Chandio KAMBER: The Advocate Alliance District Kamber Shahdadkot held a protest rally against alleged violations of merit in the recruitment process of the Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC), demanding transparency and justice for affected candidates. The rally, led by Syed Akhlaque Ahmed Shah Bukhari, began from Jinnah Bagh and passed through different roads of Kamber before reaching the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Press Club, where participants staged a sit-in to record their protest. Addressing the protesters, Syed Akhlaque Ahmed Shah Bukhari, Sanaullah Gulal, Agha Buledi, Abdul Nabi Chandio, Anwar-ul-Haq Tunio, Ayaz Buriro and other speakers said ignoring merit…
Claims by the Taliban that they have established complete and unchallenged authority over Afghanistan are becoming increasingly difficult to sustain as armed resistance regains momentum and signs of internal fragility begin to surface. Nearly four years after returning to power, the movement continues to present itself as the country’s sole political and military force, insisting that security has been restored after decades of conflict. Yet developments on the ground increasingly suggest a more complex reality. A growing number of coordinated attacks by anti-Taliban groups, particularly in the northeastern province of Badakhshan, indicate that organized opposition has not only survived but…
By Dr. Zawwar Hussain Pakistan’s environmental crisis is no longer a distant concern confined to scientific reports and climate conferences. It is unfolding visibly across its landscapes, affecting water resources, urban life and ecological systems. The alarming decline of tree cover around Rawal Lake, where nearly half of the surrounding greenery has disappeared over the past two decades, represents a serious warning about the country’s environmental direction. Rawal Lake is far more than a scenic landmark between Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Created in 1962 by constructing a dam across the Korang River, the reservoir has become an essential source of water…
By Dr. Nazia Sher Pakistan’s decision to operationalize a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) marks an important turning point in the country’s approach to fisheries governance and maritime resource management. For a nation with a coastline stretching more than 1,000 kilometers, the absence of a nationwide real-time monitoring mechanism has long remained a major weakness in regulating fishing activities, protecting marine resources and ensuring compliance with international standards. The establishment of a National Fisheries Monitoring Centre (NFMC) under this initiative reflects a recognition that traditional methods of fisheries oversight are no longer sufficient in an increasingly complex maritime environment. For decades,…
By Atiq Raja Success is often explained through familiar qualities: intelligence, talent, discipline and hard work. Yet there is another ability that quietly shapes exceptional learning, effective leadership and better decisions but receives far less attention — the ability to understand and manage our own thinking. Known as metacognition, it is the skill of stepping back from our thoughts, examining how we reach conclusions and deliberately improving the way we learn, judge and act. In an era defined by an overwhelming flow of information, the challenge is no longer simply gaining knowledge. Facts are available instantly, opinions compete constantly and…
