Precision agriculture in Pakistan faces several issues including:
1) Small landholdings and scattered plots make use of modern machinery difficult.
2) Limited arable land and problems like waterlogging and salinity reduce crop area.
3) Traditional farming methods and lack of infrastructure, inputs, and irrigation facilities constrain production.
4) Socioeconomic challenges include consumption-focused farmers, joint family systems, illiteracy, and political instability.
Overcoming these issues requires measures like expanding credit, controlling waterlogging, improving seeds, mechanization, and research. Overall, Pakistan's agricultural sector remains backward due to insufficient use of technology and infrastructure support.

The Role of agriculture in economic development - in TanzaniaElisha Magolanga
Agriculture continues to provide livelihood for about 80% of the labour force despite the trends towards income diversification and urbanization (Bryceson 1999; GoT 2011). The majority of farmers are smallholders who rely on traditional methods in cultivation and livestock-keeping. The average farm size is less than two hectares per household. Since the mid-1980s, the growth in domestic food production has lagged behind the population growth which has been over 2.5% annually. Especially the per capita production of fresh vegetables, roots and tubers has declined while wheat imports have grown manifold (Haapanen, 2011).

Development of technology has opened new opportunities and dimensions for the agriculture sector in India. This technological advancement has enabled the country to shift from a period of traditional subsistence farming to an era of hi commercial farming. India today makes use of technology at every stage of agriculture right from production and processing till marketing. In spite of this, there still remain challenges in its complete adoption by small and marginal farmers which if suitably addressed could lead to the rapid growth of the primary sector in the future years.

Многие воспринимают таргетированную рекламу как контекстную рекламу в соцсетях, считая единственным их различием именно плейсмент.
Вопреки этому мнению, таргетированная реклама в корне отличается от контекстной, в презентации ключевые тезисы об этом.
Чем таргетированная реклама отличается от контекстной?
КОНТЕКСТ - единая в смысловом отношении часть текста, высказывания, позволяющая установить значение входящего в неё слова или фразы.
Таргет – англ. “target” – цель
ЦЕЛЬ - То место, в котором было намечено оказаться.
1. Контекстная реклама отвечает на сформулированный запрос.
Таргетированная реклама – формирует спрос, предполагает, что пользователю может быть интересно наше предложение.
2. Показатель отказов с таргетированной рекламы практически всегда высокий.
3. Анализируйте ассоциированные конверсии!
Таргетированная реклама является одним из ключевых каналов в пути пользователя от знакомства с брендом до покупки.
4. Аудитория в контекстной рекламе более широкая и размытая, основывается только на запросах самого пользователя.
В таргетированной рекламе мы узко настраиваем аудиторию на основании соцдема, интересов и поведенческих характеристик.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Issues Related to Precision
Agriculture in Pakistan
Farooq Ahmed
2007-ag-2118
M.Sc.(Hons.) Agronomy
3. Precision agriculture
Precision agriculture is a way of thinking about how
to improve production and get more from existing
resources. It often involves the use of technology.
Precision agriculture or satellite farming is a farming
management concept based on observing and
responding to intra-field variations.
4. Precision agriculture around the
world
The concept of precision agriculture first emerged in
the United States in the early 1980s.
Later nations were Canada and Australia.
In Europe, the United Kingdom was the first to go
down this path, followed closely by France.
6. Techno-Economic Problems
Due to increasing population and division of land under
the law of inheritance, landholdings are subdivided over
and over again. The result is that very large number of
farmers has less than 2 hectares of area. Moreover
holdings are scattered. It is difficult to use modern
machinery on small pieces of land.
7. Limited Cultivable Area
The total area is about 79.6 million hectares
Only 23.7 million hectares (28%) area is used for
agricultural purposes.
Water Logging and Salinity
Twin problems of agricultural sector.
Both affect about 0.10 million acre of land in every year
8. Conti….
Slow Growth of Allied Products
Allied products refer to those productions, which are
not agricultural but indirectly, help the farmer to
improve his living standard i.e. fruits, milk, poultry,
fisheries, livestock and forestry.
Low Per Hectare Yield
45.0% of labour force is engaged
It is less than 5% in developed countries
9. Conti…
Inadequate Infrastructure
Rural infrastructure like, roads, storage facilities,
transport, electricity, education, sanitation and health
facilities etc.
Electricity is available to only 3/4 rural populations.
Old Methods of Production
The old implements are still being used for
agricultural production.
10. Conti…
Inadequate Supply of Agricultural Inputs
The supply of modern inputs costly
Inadequate and irregular
Lack of Irrigation Facilities
Shortage of irrigation facilities causes a serious
limitation in the expansion of crop area in Pakistan.
Defective Land Tenure System
Landlords and feudal-lords live in urban areas
Tenants and peasants have no or less incentive for
their hard work. So, the productivity in agricultural
sector remains low.
11. Conti…
Improper Crop Rotation
The constant cultivation of one crop or two; exhausts
the fertility of the soil.
Proper rotation of crops is necessary in order to
restore the fertility.
Lack of success stories
There have been no success stories of precision
farming
12. Conti…
Culture and perceptions of the users
Farmers are resistant to new technologies and do not
accept them.
They are unaware of agro-environmental problems
such as groundwater pollution caused by ineffective
fertilization methods.
13. Natural Problems
Various Plant Diseases
• Crops often come under attack of pests and insects.
• Pests and plant diseases reduce the annual
productivity of agriculture.
Heterogeneity of cropping systems and market
imperfections
Farm units are highly heterogeneous.
Fertility status is not uniform.
14. Conti…
Natural Calamities
Labour is in the hand of mankind but its result is in
the hands of ALLAH in agriculture sector.
20% reduction in productivity due to unnecessary
rain and unfavourable climatic situation.
15. Conti…
Scarcity of HYV Seeds
lower quality seeds due to non-availability of High
Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds.
Agricultural production is badly affected because of
inferior quality of seeds.
Under Utilization of Land
Population is attached with agricultural sector.
Using traditional means of cultivation.
Less intereste to use the advanced and modern means
of farming.
16. Socio-Economic Problems
Consumption Oriented
Our farmers have no proper records of their incomes
and expenses. Mostly, they spend on several rural
ceremonies and festivals.
Absence of Land Reforms
First time during Ayub’s .
Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto introduced more reforms in
1972.
Absence of land reforms has always caused a lot of
damage to the agricultural sector of Pakistan.
17. Conti…
Data availability, quality and costs
Difficulties in obtaining reliable data in a timely and
cost effective
Lack of local technical expertise
Requires a relatively advanced and computer literate
workforce.
influenced by variations in personal ability and age of
farmers, motivation, quality and number of years of
education, and exposure to extension services.
18. Conti…
Land ownership, infrastructure and institutional
constraints
Policy and bureaucratic constraints slow down the
process of timely information transfer. Further, poor
coordination among the private sector, research and
administration agencies makes the adoption of these
technologies slower.
19. Conti…
Farmers Litigation
They are often seen in courts, police stations,
irrigation offices, revenue boards and other official
problems.
Joint Family System
He has to support his big family.
It creates deficiency in saving and investment. A huge
part of farmer’s productivity is consumed at his own
house.
Illiteracy and Ill-health
Literacy rate is only 57.7 %.
20. Conti… Political Instability
Affected development in all economic and social sectors.
Creates unrest among the farmers to sell the productions to
various industries as a raw material.
People hesitate to invest in agricultural sector due to political
unrest.
• International compulsions & inconsistent
government policies
• Pakistan fell back in to the clutches of IMF after the change of
regime back in 2008.
• IMF has told Pakistan to reduce agricultural subsidies and
impose agriculture tax.
• Pakistan is a WTO signatory as well.
21. Conti…
Lack of Credit
Agricultural credit facilities are not common.
Non-institutional sources are available but these are not
reliable due to high rate of interest.
About 50.8% poor borrow from landlords in Pakistan.
Instability in Market Prices
Cobweb theorem is very popular in case of market prices;
it means that a price of one commodity is much high in
this year and much low in the next year and vice versa.
The farmers, do not get due reward from the sale of their
productions. So, they remain unsatisfied
22. MEASURES TO REMOVE THESE
PROBLEMS
Following measures are suggested to improve the
agriculture:
Supply of Agriculture Credit
Water Logging and Salinity Control
Construction of Dames
Provision of HYV Seed
Mechanization
Agricultural Research
23. Conti…
Agro-based Industries
Tax Concessions
Training of Farmers
Prices of Agricultural Productivities
Conclusion:
Being an agricultural country, agricultural sector of
Pakistan’s economy is still backward. Use of modern
techniques, provision of credit facilities, basic
infrastructure and agriculture research facilities are needed
to remove all the problems of agriculture sector.
