“…Likewise, Ahmad and Dilshad (2016) also explored in their research inquiry that effective communication is crucial for group success, involving both nonverbal and vocal information reception and transmission. Furthermore, Idrees and Naazer (2017) also discovered in their investigation that conflict arises as a direct consequence of the communication gap between management and staff. In addition to this, Ahmed, Malik, and Ahmed (2019) also found that effective leaders support teachers in their academic activities and manage issues.…”

School Heads assume the ultimate obligation of accountability for student Academic excellence and teachers' performance in their institutions. The current Research exploration endeavored to analyze how the different leadership styles of school heads affect the performance of their teachers at public secondary schools in Multan. A descriptive research approach was employed in the current investigation. Data was collected using a questionnaire from a sample of four hundred and nineteen (419), including 187 male and 232 female teachers selected through stratified random sampling from secondary schools in the district of Multan, South Punjab, Pakistan. According to key highlighted observations of the study, Heads practiced all mixed leadership styles according to contextual requirements. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between teachers in terms of their professional and academic backgrounds or on the basis of their teaching experience. Moreover, according to manifested results, teachers' performance varied significantly according to their locations and gender. This study may help identify leadership approaches that inspire and empower teachers, leading to higher levels of productivity and overall job performance. Additionally, it is recommended that training for cultivating leadership styles that positively impact teacher performance be provided in educational institutions.

“…Additionally, water scarcity can severely impact a country's energy and food security, and with water resources becoming increasingly depleted, there is a real risk of conflict in the future. (M. Idress, 2017) The word "water politics" was first used by Elhance (1997). He pointed out that interstate conflict and cooperation over international water resources are systematically analysed via the lens of water (hydro) politics.…”

Indo-Pak relations throughout the seventy-five years of co-existence have been no less than a roller coaster ride. Scholars have attributed this peculiar and toxic romance to various factors among them Kashmir stands out in it being the jugular vein of Pakistan as all three western rivers, on which Pakistan’s agriculture sector solely depends, flow from the Indian administered Kashmir. India is using this to their advantage by planning to construct hydropower dams on the western river, likely affect Pakistan’s agriculture sector, all while publically proclaiming “Blood and water cannot flow together” Countries around the world have started introducing Agtech like Water Conserving Technologies (WCTs) in their agriculture sector in the face of growing water demand and water security. These WCTs not only use less water but also increase the overall yield of the crop. This study is an interdisciplinary endeavour which intends to link the impact of introduction of WCTs in the agriculture sector with the Indo-Pak relations in the context of Kashmir. The Secondary data was collected by searching through key words and reviewing the literature and was analysed through meta-analysis. The study concludes that introduction of AgTech in the agriculture sector of Pakistan has the potential to bring India and Pakistan closer in the context of Kashmir

“…Pakistan's strategic importance to China lies in increasing the USA-China rivalry and Pakistan's historical and political role as opponent of India. Although China's powerful role in the UN Security Council, and its willingness to offer military and financial assistance has made Pakistan deepening its dependency on China; however, how far this alliance could assure Pakistan in maintaining domestic stability and regional power demonstrations, that is questionable (Idrees et al, 2017;Ali, 2020). Pakistan's position in this battle for ascendancy in the IOR is crucial, and subject to critical examination.…”

Indian Ocean (IO) has occupied an overlapping space of political concern and maritime security due to increasing geo-strategic importance in the region. A competition has been noticed amongst key littoral states in the IO, particularly among United States, India and China. In this competing game, United States is found to be proactively supporting India to expand its influence on IO. On the other hand, China is developing trade and military relationship with other countries including Pakistan to demonstrate leverage on the IO region. This paper sheds light into this great polarized game and its implications for Pakistan. The study uses secondary data and adopts a critical approach largely based upon ‘realist’ paradigm to analyse and understand the role of the aforementioned key actors in the political developments of the region The study reveals that both India and China, are competing ferociously and forming alliances (India with USA and China with Pakistan) to establish regional hegemony. This competition, in turn, has greatly politically polarized the region and threatened peace and stability. In this context, Pakistan needs to carefully develop its strategy which will serve its aspiration to have a positive peaceful image in the global politics and serve strategic national interest.
