Sania Nishtar Launches “Ehsaas” Data Exchange Platform


 Sania Nishtar, the government’s point-person on poverty reduction, unveiled the National Data Exchange Platform (NDEP) for the Ehsaas’ National Socioeconomic Registry 2021 on World Poverty Day.

One of the six pillars of One Window Ehsaas is the register. With the completion of the Ehsaas National Socioeconomic Registry 2021 survey, the NDEP will allow data exchange and data access services for all executing agencies overseen by the Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division (PASSD).

This service will eventually be extended to provinces and other government agencies that are undertaking Ehsaas programs.

“Ehsaas NDEP will be a game-changer in revolutionizing social protection and poverty reduction programs in the country,” stated SAPM on Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection Sania Nishtar during the NDEP launch press conference.

She previously claimed that there was no way for one government entity to know what support a person or a family was receiving from another. “Some families with connections and power received many perks, while others who were more worthy received none,” she explained.

However, with Ehsaas NDEP in place, Sania stated, “The executing agencies in the Ehsaas ecosystem will be able to know what advantages an individual or a household is receiving by just entering in an individual’s computerized national identity number.”

More importantly, she stated that the advantages received by each family and individual from each organization will be apparent to all agencies participating in Ehsaas programs.

The advisor to the Prime Minister also complimented the teams working on the national socio-economic survey and technology.

According to a release, the data integration of the Ehsaas survey will also facilitate the deployment of the Ehsaas One Window targeting policy, which Prime Minister Imran Khan approved in the last quarter.
“It will ultimately save program costs, minimize redundancy, optimize beneficiary targeting, and enable efficient and effective policy decisions, planning, and execution,” the document stated.

The cognitive API architectural strategy will protect data sharing. Data will be shared in both directions; agencies with whom data will be shared will be expected to update the registry with their own information.

The NDEP will also be linked to other federal agencies’ databases, allowing for real-time beneficiary information checking.

As a result, the same data exchange infrastructure will underpin the upcoming Ehsaas targeted commodities subsidies programme, which will be implemented in partnership with the USC and the NBP.

The executing agencies of Ehsaas will be able to access data from the unified registry in real-time through this national scale data-sharing network to validate beneficiary information.

Pakistan Stock Exchange (Psx) To Launch New Trading System This Month


 The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) plans to make a newly acquired trading platform – purchased from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) – fully operational this month, according to PSX chief executive Farrukh H Khan.

The SZSE, China’s third-largest stock exchange in terms of trading value, owns 40% of the PSX and is one of the country’s three stock exchanges. In November 2019, Pakistan inked a $5 million contract with SZSE to acquire the trading and surveillance system in order to strengthen its operational and technological level.

According to Arab News, the CEO stated that the launch is scheduled for October. It was supposed to be live in March, but there were some criteria that “our stakeholders had requested to accommodate in the trading system, which is now in place,” he said.

The new trading system will make PSX trading more transparent and appealing, bringing the stock exchange up to pace with other stock exchanges.

“The technology will substantially increase our trading capabilities and ability to provide new products like options,” Khan added.
“We’ll have a genuine monitoring system as well as the robustness of a much better system.”

In an interview with an international magazine, the CEO stated that Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) downgraded the Pakistan Indexes due to a decrease in market capitalisation.

It is worth noting that the MSCI Pakistan Indexes were reclassified from the Emerging Market Index (EMI) to the Frontier Markets Index (FMI) in September (FMI).

The benchmark KSE-100 index hit 53,000 points in 2017, with a market value of $100 billion. However, market capitalization has fallen to $45 billion throughout the years, with a 17 percent dip in the last four months.

“Rising oil prices, which have more than doubled in recent days, Afghanistan’s situation, interest rate hikes, and the rupee have remained under pressure, and MSCI reclassification in general has caused negative consequences in the share market,” Khan said.

Sindh’s Most Famous Tourist Attractions And Landmarks

 

Sindh is one of Pakistan’s four provinces and is located in the country’s southeast. It is the Sindhi people’s dwelling. Sindh is the second-largest province in terms of population and the third-largest in terms of area. Sindh is connected to both Punjab and Balochistan, with Punjab to the north and Balochistan to the west. Sindh also has a district in India.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/

Sindh’s terrain is dominated by the Thar Desert and the Indus River, particularly in the province’s eastern half, which is closest to India’s border. Sindh is Pakistan’s second largest economy, and Karachi, its regional capital, is the country’s first large city and economic hub. Sindh is more like a home to a major percentage of Pakistan’s industrial region and features two of the country’s commercial ports, namely The Karachi Port and Port Bin Qasim.

Sindh has a farming-based industry and produces food patron goods, fruits, and vegetables for import and export. It is sometimes referred to as the “Bab-ul-Islam.” Because Islam was founded in Sindh, this is the way to Islam. Sindh also has a diverse artistic and ethnic community, including Urdu-speaking residents.

Sindh is noted for its culture, customs, and values, which are heavily affected by Sufism, which is a prominent feature of Sindhi temperament for both Hindus and Muslims. The Hindu community, on the other hand, constitutes the largest part of Sindh’s population. Throughout Sindh, there are numerous significant Sufi dargahs and graves, which attract millions of followers. Sindh features two Ancestry Sites: the Historical Relics at Makliand and the Mohenjodaro Ruins.

Culture of Sindh:

Sindhi culture is the personification of the Indus Valley kingdom. Sindh was founded by an abandoned site, easy access to natural riches, and consistent foreign leverage. The River Indus, which runs through the land, and the Arabian Sea have also nourished the traditions of the people who live there.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/

The Sindh is’ vocabulary, mythology, lives, and liturgies are also influenced by the regional environment. These are considerably different from the neighbouring areas. Sindhi society is also influenced by the Sindhi Diaspora. This article contains all of the information on the culture, including the history of Sindhi culture.

Sindhi Culture Language:

Sindhi is an old language with a long history of educational success. Its creators have contributed diverse aspects of songs and poems. Sindhi writings are excellent and the world’s oldest literature. The primary references to Sindh’s writings can be found in Arab chroniclers’ manuscripts.

The Indian government has approved Sindhi as a language of choice and a mode of education in India. Sindhi is a fictitious third language spoken in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan in India.

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/


Sindhu, the real name of the Indus River, inspired the term “Sindhi.”

Sindhi was the prevalent language of Sindh prior to the establishment of Pakistan. The Sindh Assembly of Pakistan has made Sindhi language teaching mandatory in all private institutions in Sindh.

Interpretation of Quran In Sindhi:

It is widely acknowledged that Sindhi was the first language into which the Holy Quran was translated in the eighth or ninth centuries. It has also been discovered that the theses on astronomy, history, and medicine were written and published in Sindhi over the same eras.

Cultural Day of Sindh:

Sindh’s people commemorate Sindh’s Cultural Day every year on December 1st, Sunday. They dress in their traditional attire, such as the Sindhi Topi and Ajrak. In addition, musical entertainments are being planned in many towns to honour it with bravery.

As Sindh is prosperous so, it comprises unique places where you will enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Rani Kot Fort:

Ranikot Fort, also known as Rannikot, is an ancient Talpur castle located near Sann in the Jamshoro District of Sindh, Pakistan. With a rim of about 32 kilometres, this Fort is also known as The Sindh’s Great Wall and is thought to be the world’s largest Fort. The ramparts of the Fort have been compared to the Great Wall of China.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/


Ranikot Fort is located on the Indus Highway, 90 kilometres (56 miles) north of Hyderabad. There is also an easy entry to Sannon on the Indus route, which is roughly an hour’s drive from Karachi. An entertainment highway begins a short distance away from Sann, the neighbouring hamlet, and heads to the Fort through a hilly 21-kilometer road, arriving at the eastern door of the Fort, known as Sann Gate. The Fort is located within the Kirthar National Park, Pakistan’s second-largest federal park.

The Fort is massive, stretching 31 kilometres and connecting several dismal summits of the Kirthar ranges along silhouettes. The Fort’s wall is connected with several fortifications, three of which are semi-circular in shape. The northern portion of the Fort’s perimeter is a genuine elevated mountainous structure. On the other three sides, however, it is surrounded by the Fort’s walls.

Within this major Fort, there is a little fort known as the “Miri Fort,” which is about 3 kilometres from the Sann entrance and serves as the Mir royal family’s house. The entire fort building was built of stone and citrus pestles. The Fort is built in a zigzag pattern, with four rhomboid-shaped entrance doors. Amri Gate, Sann Gate, Mohan Gate, and Shah-Pere Gate are the names of four gates.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/


Two of the gates, facing each other, are diagonally crossed by the Sann river; the first entry is on the western side and is eaten by the river’s water, making it difficult to reach. The southern door has two entrances. Two sides of the gates have flower-patterned decoration and carved diamonds.



Sukkur Barrage:

Sukkur Barrage is a barrage built on the Indus River near the city of Sukkur in Pakistan’s Sindh province. The barrage, known as the Lloyd Barrage, was built during the British rule from 1923 to 1932. The Sukkur Barrage is the pride of Pakistan’s fertilisation system, since it is the world’s largest single irrigation network of its kind.

It irrigates from Sukkur in the north to Mirpurkhas/ Tharparkar in the south. The Sukkur Barrage also washes the city of Hyderabad in Sindh’s south, as do practically all other parts of the province. It is 500 kilometres northeast of Karachi, 5 kilometres below the railroad bridge or the Sukkur Gorge. The establishment of a barrage-controlled irrigation system resulted in more favourable water allocations for Sindh’s farmed areas.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sindhs-most-famous-tourist-attractions-and-landmarks/


Sindh survives almost entirely on the water of the Indus River due to the extremely limited amount of groundwater. The province receives between 100 and 200 mm of rain each year on average. The rate of evaporation, on the other hand, is between 1,000 and 2,000 mm. As a result, Sindh is arid, and the Indus is the only source of irrigation. Sindh is otherwise completely dry.

Standard questionnaires were not used to assess the availability of groundwater in Sindh. Numerous authorities estimated that its potential is between three and five MAF spread throughout 28 percent of Sindh’s geographical area. Nonetheless, some experts believe it is smaller than these figures. This water is mostly found in the Indus waterways and in rare natural underground streams.


Pakistan Beats India In The World Cup For The First Time

 

For the first time in the history of the T20 World Cup, Pakistan defeated India by ten wickets at Dubai International Stadium.Skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan breezed through the run-chase after restricting arch-rivals to 151/7.

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/pakistan-beats-india-in-the-world-cup-for-the-first-time/

Pacer Shaheen Shah got Pakistan off to a good start as skipper Babar Azam chose to field first. He caught India’s vice-captain, Rohit Sharma, for a golden duck and rocked KL Rahul’s stumps in his next over, with India behind at 6/2.

After early losses, Indian captain Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav (11) attempted to get India’s innings back on track in the powerplay, but Hasan Ali struck in his first over to reduce India to 36/3 in six overs.

http://fabulouspakistan.com/pakistan-beats-india-in-the-world-cup-for-the-first-time/

As India recovered well after the powerplay, Kohli and the aggressive Risabh Pant put on a 53-run partnership. Pant dominated briefly, belting two sixes off Hasan, but leg-spinner Shadab Khan sent him as he attempted to accelerate. He was eliminated after scoring a well-executed 30-ball 39.
After Pant’s dismissal, Pakistan kept Kohli quiet and things were under control.
Ravindra Jadeja only achieved 13 runs per ball, while Kohli scored fifty. Shaheen dismissed him for 57 in the 19th over. In 49 balls, the Indian skipper struck five fours and a six.

After some sloppy fielding by Pakistan in the last two overs, India pushed the total above 150. Shaheen finished with 3 for 31 while Hasan gave 44 runs in four overs for his two wickets. Haris Rauf performed admirably in the last overs, finishing with figures of 1/25.

In response, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and Babar batted brilliantly right from the outset. The duo overpowered the opposition with excellent stroke-play and easily led the run-chase.

Babar scored his fifty with a six against Varun Chakravarthy, while Rizwan hit the half-century with a four off Jasprit Bumrah. Mohammad Shami bowled the 18th over, which resulted in the score being chased down.

Pakistan Best And Famous Botanical Garden



Kashyap and Lahore`s amazing botanical heritage:

With 6,000 herbarium assortments, Pakistan’s most famous and finest greenhouse exists. It was established in 1912 in Lahore, beside the Governor’s House, and was the best in the British Indian Empire at the time. In any case, let me begin this essay on a different note, one that is unique. She rolled out various natural names of trees and plants in a potential experience, which was one of the many reasons I married a long time ago. That astounded me. After that, the rest is history. It reminded me of my late uncle, former Punjab information secretary Sheik Hafeezur Rehman.
