“…In a paper by Khan et al (2012), which was carried out in the Peshawar district, Pakistan, they found out that the female labour force participation in the rural areas of Peshawar was because of 'social factors'. The female LFPR in rural areas would depend on different factors like the availability and working of a male in the family, the cropping pattern followed, the productivity level of the male household members as a worker, the size of the landholding, the productivity, and returns from the land, and in a macro-level the total population dependent on agriculture.…”

The female labour force participation rate (LFPR) in India has been persistently declining and has exhibited an unusual pattern over the years, which deviates from the discourse of a U-shaped relationship between female LFPR and economic growth. The article is an attempt to provide some of the empirical foundations to the female LFPR in rural India, and further delves into a comprehensive understanding of the effects of different factors like household, social, economic and personal factors, empirically through previous NSSO data sets. The data sets used in the study are from NSSO 50, that is, from 1993-94 to NSSO 66, that is, 2009-10, to ascertain the factors that were significant over the years in determining the female LFPR in rural areas. These variables were tested to gain an understanding on the variations in female labour supply in rural India. Being cognisant and by problematising some of the significant factors that affected the female LFPR in the past, the article demands the state to exercise policies beyond its neoliberal framework and the ‘Keynesian welfare-state’ model of ‘superficial’ social security. Methodologically, three models were further created based on the NSSO 66 data set to showcase the perennial discouraged-worker effects among the females in LFPR in rural India. The article further empirically tests Jacob Mincer’s theory: ‘substitution effect dominating the income effect’ in the decision of females entering the labour market in rural India and shows empirically how it does not hold in the Indian context, thereby an attempt on debunking the mainstream theory.

“…Introduction T rifolium alexandrinum L. is a highly important forage crop that is cultivated extensively worldwide, with a particular significance in Pakistan (Arshad et al, 2018). In Pakistan, it is grown on almost 78% of total fodder grown area in the Rabi season (Khan et al, 2012). T. alexandrinum is known as the Fodder king, because, it is also the most popular fodder due to its highly nutritive value, continuous fodder supply from October to April, easy digestibility and role in improving fertility of the soil (Bakheit, 2013).…”

Trifolium alexandrinum L. is a multi-cut, winter annual fodder crop in the South Punjab region of Pakistan. Being cross pollinated crop, better seed production of T. alexandrinum depends upon insect pollinators. Current study was planned to find effective native insect pollinators which play a crucial role in enhancing seed production of T. alexandrinum. The goals were achieved by recording the diversity of insect pollinators, abundance, foraging activity and most importantly pollination efficiency in a single visit in terms of reproductive success parameters (head size, florets per head, seed count/head, seed mass/head and seed mass of 1000 seeds). The pollinator's community was composed of 06 Hymenoptera, 03 Diptera and 02 Lepidoptera species. It was found that the total abundance of a solitary bee Pesudapis oxybeloides was higher followed by a honey bee, Apis mellifera and a syrphid fly, Eristalinus aeneus. Moreover, solitary bee P. oxybeloides was detected as the most efficient pollinator based on rate of visitation and pollinator efficiency in a single visit, followed by A. mellifera and A. dorsata. The seed set in open pollination (free insect visits) was 58 and 70% higher and seed weight of 1000 seeds respectively as compared to self-pollination (no insect visits). Hence, conserving these most efficient native pollinators can lead to higher seed yield of T. alexandrinum and other seed crops in South Punjab, Pakistan.

“…Women in mountainous areas either never take advantage of all the educational opportunities available to them or only take advantage of very few of them, which makes them uninterested in their studies and extracurricular activities. The majority of women only enrol in their schools, but they rarely attend because of social insecurity, a lack of educational awareness, and the limited opportunities available to them (Khan, 2016). The majority of individuals who live in mountainous locations are uneducated, impoverished, and have no means of support.…”

The study sought to explore parents' perceptions of female education. To determine the social and cultural hurdles in female education. The University of Lorelai’s students comprised the population of this research. A questionnaire was distributed to the female students at random. From the whole population, the current researcher took 50 girls as a sample for this research from the University of Loralai, comprising the Department of Education. This sample was selected through a random sampling technique. A closed-ended questionnaire was constructed to collect data containing ten items based on a 3-point scale. Based on the findings, it was concluded that early marriages are a barrier to female education. Respondents are divided in their opinion about the statement that parents think co-education is difficult for women. Most parents cannot afford higher education for their daughters. Most parents believe that higher education is not difficult for women. Most parents believe that they cannot afford higher education for their daughters. Local tribal tradition is a barrier to female education. Parents agree that the university is too far away from the city. Respondents are divided in their opinion about the statement that parents are not satisfied with transport facilities. If the university provides separate classes for female students, the strength of female students will increase. Most parents are worried about harassment.
