Follow up report of Certified Wheat Seed Donated by OFDA through AKRSP

Certified Wheat Seeds were distributed among the V/W/Os of LSO Chatorkhand on October 2010 for winter sowings. There were 30 beneficiaries.  One day workshop on wheat cultivation was held for those beneficiaries which was facilitated by Mr. Gari Khan (AKRSP Gilgit) on November

LSO visited those fields cultivated by the community two or three times. There were two types of seeds named Uqaab and Bakkhar. Followings are some clips and comments of the farmers during harvesting crops. 

Few clips and commwents of the formers as following:

Mr. Maqsad Khan One of the beneficiary of these seeds. He was given the seeds of Bakkahr.
He said that he is satisfied with these crops and its better then local seeds and hoped to get 12 to 15 mounds from his field. He said that I could not adopt the methods of cultivation given by facilitator due to financial problem. I could reap 15 to 18 mounds if I was able to adopt the same way of cultivation.

Mr. Nazar Ali / Amir Ali is cultivated the seeds of Uqaab. He thanked the donors of these seeds and said that my field is full of crops and I hope I’ll reap 14 to 16 mounds of wheat this year. Whereas yearly production was 8 to 12 mounds.

Mr. Sardar Khan / Afsar Khan said I was cultivating “Bashkaliyan” (a local type of Wheat Seeds) from beginning from which I could reap a maximum quantity of 5 to 6 mounds per mound. Then I got seeds of “MH-97” in 2002-3 which was best one. I reap 15 to 16 from these seeds. Now I have cultivated “UQAAB” it seems it is also the best one but it takes time for getting ready for harvest.
I would suggest LSO, AKRSP and donors to provide certified seeds of “MH-97” which is suitable for our land and get ready earlier then the other seeds. Thus a farmer can cultivate Maize after harvesting wheat. He said that we have seeds if MH-97 but it got mixed with other ones therefore we could not get best results of it. It would be better if these seeds would certify. He confidently said that MH-97 is totally successful seeds for us. He thanked LSO, AKRSP and donors of these seeds at the end.

Meeting with notables of Chatorkhand, Aminabad on the issue of drinking water

Chatorkhand is comprises on 400 households and the population of 3137 individuals. This valley is facing the big problem of drinking water since 2010. It has its own Nala (Stream) which is unclean due to the land slip in Nala Hayool. This causes dangerous disease in the area.

LSO conducted a meeting on this issue with the notables of Chatorkhand , Aminabad and Chinar. Total 31 notable from the community were called while 22 notables participated in the meeting.

Mr. Syed Ashiq Hussain Chairman LSO welcomed all the participants in the meeting and discussed the current situation of the issue. He quoted the words of Dr. Nadeem Medical Officer Civil Hospital Chatorkhand that:

“…… it will spread many kinds of dangerous diseases which will be out of control for us…..”

He said that the community of Kuchdeh / Birgal are agreed to give their clean water if Chatorkhand gives them unclean water for irrigation purpose.

All the participants were agreed on this exchange of water between Chatorkhand and Kuchdeh/Birgal.

Mr. Mayoon Khan Member Union Council Chtorkhand said that we need to discuss with all the community and motivate Peer Syed Karam Ali Shah Governor Gilgit Baltistan to do so. Because pipe line will be laid down through his property.

Mr. Ashiq Ali Shah said that water is a basic need of human being. It is most important to bring clean water for drinking from Kuchdh/Birgal and give them unclean water for irrigation. He confidently said that Peer Syed Karam Ali Shah will agree with us.

Mr. Abdul Majeed Khan thanked LSO for conducting such important meeting and said that Peer Karam Ali Shah is already agreed with us for this solution. The dialogue must be on permanent water exchange bases if the community of Kuchdeh/Birgal are agree.
