The study examines the reasons and outcomes of imbalance in terms of demographics, recognition, monetary compensation factors, family, and awareness variables. A random sample of 36 teachers from three most famous private schools out of 39 private schools in three talukas of district Matiari was analyzed through survey method. Descriptive statistics for the demographic data, while ANOVA and Chi-square tests were used for analysis of the questionnaires. The findings revealed that female teachers are experiencing excessive demands at both work and home, which is likely to have detrimental effects on their mental, physical, and psychological well-being. This strain has the potential to negatively impact the highly qualified group of individuals in the district.

This article aims to study the effectiveness and efficacy of the DMS in both countries by looking at the situation through depoliticized prisms. Through the comparative method documentary analysis, the paper identifies the common links between strengths and weaknesses in both countries and suggests recommendations for improving the available mechanisms to dissuade the effects of natural disasters across borders. The introduction describes DMS in Pakistan and India by reporting the risk profiles of both countries followed by the organization and institutionalization at different tiers of the government. The available precedents show signs of cooperation in minimizing the damage caused by post-natural disasters in Pakistan and India. The results reveal that there have been difficult phases where both countries helped each other in calamities. After the Gujrat earthquake in 2001, the Pakistani military provided significant aid to India which facilitated the first recent conversation between the two nations since a military coup in Pakistan two years prior. This support by Pakistan led to the Agra Summit five months between the two archrivals and later when a powerful earthquake struck both India and Pakistan in October 2005, efforts were made by the Indian side to provide relief and rescues.

The brick manufacturing sector, which employs about 4.5 million people, is a major player in South Asia, accounting for 3 percent of Pakistan's GDP. However, workers are subject to various forms of exploitation, including non-payment of wages, debt slavery and child labor exploitation. Despite existing regulations, enforcement is weak, perpetuating systemic inequalities in the industry. This qualitative study uses semistructured interviews and document analysis to explore the root causes and consequences of these issues. Key findings highlight the urgent need for policy reforms, strengthening enforcement mechanisms and increasing workers' awareness of their rights. Recommendations include strengthening regulatory oversight, promoting alternative livelihood options, and addressing underlying socioeconomic factors that perpetuate labor exploitation. By highlighting these issues, this study aims to contribute to the debate on labor rights in Pakistan and advocate concrete solutions to improve the working conditions and livelihoods of brick kiln workers.

In recent past, this issue of residential rights in rural areas is being linked with rights of those who have not their homes without legal documents. In Sindh province majority of the population lives in not-well-settled villages scattered over lands of government or landlords. Though living in these villages for decades, in some cases centuries, majority of these people do not have mutation documents or legal entitlements of homes they live in. Absence of legal documents is one of the hindrances to avail many public facilities like government loans, etc. Besides, the landlords in the area also exploit the vulnerability of the villagers living in villages without legal documents, especially during national elections they are compelled to vote against their will. In this piece of research we see that villages, which were registered with government, are more developed than those which are not. In this article one sub-district of district Tando Allahyar is surveyed as a case study.

Beside livestock homes and other pieces of valuable property were washed away or severely damaged by the flood primarily due to overflow of drain. Including others brick kiln workers bore majors losses as they were/are most vulnerable segment in Sindh. These workers have social and state supports in any disaster as there is no mechanism of social security in place to less the difficulties of these two group. Subsides announced by the government normally do not reach these because laws which regulated the bilateral relations of brick kiln owners and brick kiln workers are not implemented in letter and spirit . this paper is based on empirical evidence.

Beyond its economic implications, the tomato boasts a nutritional profile that is not only diverse but also nutritionally dense, featuring essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids, sugars, and dietary fibers. Noteworthy among these are substantial concentrations of vitamins B and C, as well as essential minerals like iron and phosphorus. (Toor et al., 2005). The culinary versatility of tomatoes is unparalleled, contributing to their ubiquity in various cuisines. Whether enjoyed fresh in salads or meticulously integrated into cooked dishes, such as sauces, soups, or accompaniments to meat and fish, tomatoes add a distinct flavour and nutritional punch to meals. Furthermore, tomatoes undergo various processing methods to yield products such as purées, juices, and the ubiquitous ketchup, (Xu et al. 2018) further expanding their culinary footprint. However, the people who grow this crop face multiple difficulties related to government arrangements and natural disasters. Thus, these people and the tomato production itself are disadvantaged. This paper explores different issues about the wages of workers and the just prices for crop production. The paper also suggests workable policy recommendations to the government regarding small growers and workers of tomato crops in the area.

During the last few decades, the saint's shrine has also become a center for Shi'i practices of 'azādārī-mourning congregations in memory of Imam Husain. This article contributes to the literature on intertwining Sufi and Shi'i practices by examining how saintly and Husaini devotion repertoires converged in the Bhit Shah area and how this convergence contributed to transformations in ritual action and identity over the twentieth century. We explore how local devotees started adopting the remembrance of Imam Husain and Karbala through devotion to Shah Latif, which initially took place without changes in the devotees' religious affiliation. However, with the precolonial Talpurs' influence and interaction with other devotees from Shi'i urban centers of Sindh, many residents began to affirm Twelver Shi'a identification and expand their mourning practices in space and duration.

After independence, the law regarding labour, have continued to evolve through ongoing experiments to address socioeconomic conditions, industrial development, population and labour explosion, union growth, literacy levels, and government commitments to development and social welfare labour issues. Achieving the above objectives, the successive governments have used a series of labour policies to address the demands of labour class. Being the signatory of International Labour Organization (ILO), Pakistan has been making laws to match the demands of "Core Conventions". Before the 18th Amendment, Labour was included as " subject matter" in the concurrent which meant that the federal and provincial governments were responsible for the legislation and implementation of the law but now it is the responsibility of provincial government to make laws and implement on the labour market. This article discusses the repercussions of 18 th Constitutional Amendments on the "subject matter" of labour legislation and it's implications for labour class. This article is based on both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are based on in-depth interviews of lawyers practicing labour issues, labour activists and labourers experiencing labour issues. In this article, descriptive methodology has been applied to reach the conclusions.

For not being able to face the severity of the situation people like agriculture workers were the prime victims of rain followed by floods 2011 in Sindh province of Pakistan. The floods caused major losses to infrastructure of health, education and communication in lower part of Sindh where majority of the people are agriculture workers. Most of the victims had no movable valuables, which could have been exchanged for livelihood in rain-flood emergency. Those who had some cattle and other pets could not take with them because the only thing they could save was their family members‘ lives. That resulted on their sole dependence on government and aid agencies/NGOs for food and temporary shelter. These floods were a challenge for the government and nation as whole to gauge our capability and preparedness whether we were able to face the disasters or not. ...

There is a clash between corporate farming and cooperative farming strategies, and between the notions of „food security‟ and „food sovereignty‟. In this study, documentary analysis of local literature on peasant activism has been triangulated with the primary data collected during field work, about peasant activism in lower Sindh. Effort has been made to look into the tendency of feudal and capitalist elements to bring about capital-intensive „agrarian reform‟ instead of pro-peasant „land reforms‟. The shaping up of agrarian relations in Sindh has been critiqued in the light of post-developmental notion of „food autonomy‟. In the end, in the light of generated arguments, possibility for the establishment of localized Suficsocialist Agrarian regime or to become the part of moral global economy has b...
