ABSTRACT
CHAPTER # 1
INTRODUCTION TO
NANKANA SAHIB
Ch. 1 Introduction to Nankana Sahib 2|Page
Chapter 1– INTRODUCTION TO NANKANA SAHIB
1.1. Location
Nankana Sahib is a city and the capital of Nankana Sahib District in the Punjab province
of Pakistan. It is named after the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak, who was born in
the city and first began preaching here. Today, it is a city of high historic and religious
value and a popular pilgrimage site for Sikhs from all over the world.
It is situated on the corner of Nankana Sahib Tehsil at about a distance of 34 kilometers
from Sheikhupura, the district head quarter. It is about 91 km (57 mi) west of Lahore and
about 75 km (47 mi) east of Faisalabad; and at 31.45 latitude and 73.70 longitude. It is
situated at an elevation of 194 meters above sea level. The city has a population of
approximately 70,000. The total area of Nankana Sahib is 2,960 km 2 which makes it the
74th largest city in Punjab.
Nankana operates in the Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) zone which is 5 hours ahead of
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); and is the standard time zone followed all over
Pakistan.

1.3. Existing Situation
1.3.1. Urban Form

Nankana Sahib and its surroundings were formerly a tehsil of Sheikhupura District. The
present status of District Nankana Sahib has three tehsils: Nankana Sahib, Shah Kot and
Sangla Hill. The inner part of Nankana Sahib is very congested and compact. The poorly
maintained roads, level crossings, non-motorized traffic and encroachment all are
adversely affecting the existing road network and the urban form. The improvement of
the intercity roads is required that will play a vital role for the economic development of
Nankana Sahib.
1.3.2. Urban Growth Pattern

Nankana Sahib has been haphazardly developed. There is a huge difference in the
development between the old city and the new city because of the lack of up gradation.
Some of the houses and markets present in the old city have been there before the
partition and still no work has been done for their renewal. The roads of the city are not
in satisfactory condition including the inter and intra city roads which are poorly
maintained. However, there are good inter-city road links that can play an important role
in the economic development of the city in the future. There is a linear trend of
development and encroachments within the right of ways of the roads. The commercial
markets are in the central congested parts of the town which is creating many problems
such as traffic congestion although they are sufficient for the fulfilling the needs of the
present population. The health facilities are grossly deficient as there is only one main
hospital, the District Headquarter Hospital, besides that there are small clinics with very
little medical facilities. Also, the industrial development is taking place in a haphazard
manner along the Mangtanwala road. Mostly the land in Nankana Sahib is agricultural
land, because of that there is no proper industrial development or planning of industrial
estates. The main roads that pass through the town are Mangtanwala Road, Warburton
Road, Buchoki Road and the Railway Road.

1.3.4. Future Growth

Nankana Sahib is being linked with Shahkot Town by a road. This road would help in
connecting the rural settlement in the northern direction of Nankana Sahib with the
surrounding important urban centers of the area.
The work on the construction of Nankana Sahib-Buchiana-Jaranwala Road along railway
line is in progress at present. Due to introduction of this link, the distance between
Nankana Sahib and Faisalabad would be considerably reduced.
Pakistan has offered all amenities and facilities to the Sikh community settled across the
globe(rephrase this word) to invest in Kartarpur Corridor and make the area between
Kartarpur and Nankana Sahib unprecedented and historic.
The offer was made by visiting Governor of Punjab, Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar, while
talking to the Sikh community at Guru Gobind Singh Sabha in South hall, West London
on Thursday(give the date too).
"The opening of (Kartarpur) Corridor after 70 years is splendid and we feel the heart-
touching sentiments and pleasing moments of Sikh community at this affectionate
occasion", Sarwar emphasized. "Sikhs are our brothers and sisters, Pakistan is already
supporting and helping them and taking extra care to look after the Gurdwaras in all over
the country, especially the Nankana Saheb," he added. (First Published: Sun, January 13,
2019. 23:50 IST)
The Lahore-Abdul Hakeem section of M-3 Motorway inauguration has been announced
by the Federal government. A senior official of National Highway Authority said, it is
scheduled to be opened for traffic by February 15(mention its year too).
Karachi Lahore Motorway KLM: 230 km from Lahore Abdul Hakeem Motorway M-3
service area is under construction near Nankana Sahib. It has already been operational in
Feb 2019. According to an official, all physical work of this section has already been
completed but due to some technical issues such as delay in approval for deployment of
motorway police on this section, the motorway could not yet be opened. (Times of
Islamabad 20 Jan’ 2019)
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan is planning to set up Baba Guru
Nanak International University in Nankana Sahib to portray a “softer image” of Pakistan
to the world. HEC has suggested to include eminent international scholars working on
Sikh and Buddhism religions as a think-tank for the proposed university (please put its
references from where it has been taken).
According to Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, to facilitate Sikh pilgrims
and yatrees (visitors) adequately in future, development of a good standard resort is also
in process at Nankana Sahib(join this and next paragraph).
Approximately 40 per cent of world tourism revenues are linked to religious tourism and
this is a market with tremendous potential that Pakistan has hardly started to develop.
According to the study, if the security situation improves significantly, the number of
tourists can exceed 300,000 per year and its economic impact will then increase from $5
million to an estimated $300 million. 1

1.4. Historic Profile
1
Dawn News, June 11th, 2016
Nankana Sahib is a sacred place for the Sikh community. 2 The township was founded by
Rai Bhoi, a rich landlord Rajput Muslim and thus was known as Rai-Bhoi-Di-Talwandi.
It is named after the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism
who was born here in 1469. Guru Nanak passed his whole childhood and young age in
Nankana Sahib.
The Gurdwara (the Sikh place of worship) Nankana Sahib, originally constructed in
around 1600 A.D. was renovated in 1819–20 A.D. by Gian-Punjab Maharaja Jassa Singh
Ramgarhia. During the Akali or the Gurdwara Reform Movement (a campaign to bring
reform in the gurdwaras in India during the early 1920s), on 20 February 1921, Narayan
Das, the Mahant (a religious superior, in particular the chief priest of a temple or the head
of a monastery) of the gurdwara at Nankana Sahib, ordered his men to fire on Akali
protesters, leading to the Nankana Massacre. The firing was widely condemned, and an
agitation was launched until the control of the historic Janam Asthan Gurdwara was
restored to the Sikhs.
In the 1930s and 40's, more buildings and architectural design was also added. Nankana
Sahib and its surroundings were formerly a tehsil of Sheikhupura District. In May 2005,
the provincial government raised the status of Nankana Sahib to a district as a way of
promoting development in the area.

1.5.4. Gurdwara Patti Sahib

This is the site where Guru Nanak learnt the various languages and particularly their
alphabet. Gurdwara Patti Sahib is also called Gurdwara Maulvi Patti Likhi (‘Patti’ means
a wooden board on which children learn to write alphabets with a pen made of a soft
stem). This sacred shrine lies midway between Gurdwara Janam Asthan and Gurdwara
Bal Lilah along the railway station.

1.5.6. Gurdwara Kiara Sahib
This site is where, as a youngster, Guru Nanak used to graze cattle. Gurudwara Kiara
Sahib is situated one and a half kilometers from Gurdwara Janam Asthan. It has a large
building. A boundary wall and a Sarovar (pond, lake) has also been built around the
whole field.
Figure 1.9: Gurdwara Kiara Sahib
1.5.7. Gurdwara Tambu Sahib

This Gurdwara was established a furlong east of Janam Asthan, during the Sikh Rule. Its
present building comprises a double-storey domed sanctum in the middle of a square hall
which has architectural embellishments but lacks the porches covering its front doors.
Figure 1.10: Gurdwara Tambu Sahib

1.5.8. Gurdwara Guru Hargobind Sahib
The one room structure was known as 'Kalu ka Kotha', literally 'house of (Mehta) Kalu'.
Later, it came to be known as 'Nanakayan', literally 'home of (Guru) Nanak'. The
Gurdwara was established before the end of the 16th century because Guru Arjan (1563-
1606) is believed to have visited it.
Figure 1.11: Gurdwara Guru Hargobind Sahib

1.5.9. Gurdwara Nihang Singhan

This Gurdwara is situated in between Gurdwara Sri Tambu Sahib and Gurdwara Sri
Hargobind Sahib. The Nihang Singh Chaoni (camp), became known as Gurdwara Nihang
Singhan. No land endowment stands in the name of Gurdwara.
Figure 1.12: Gurdwara Nihang Singhan
1.6. Limitations
The following are some of the limitations that were confronted by the students during
master plan preparation of Nankana Sahib;
 Time limitation was levied by the university. Therefore, precise research work
had to be carried out and accomplished within the specified time.
 Field surveys carried out related to master planning were limited due to security
and safety issues in the city.
 Primary data for master planning needs to be gathered through surveys. Data
collection by researchers for the master planning of Nankana Sahib was subject to
above mentioned issues. Therefore, master plan lacks current and updated data of
Nankana Sahib and the data was majorly obtained from secondary sources (ODP
Nankana Sahib, books, journals, articles, publications and reports etc.) and
minorly from primary sources including surveys which comprise the housing,
commercial, recreational etc. aspects of master planning.

2.3. Physical Features

The upland or the Bar in the North West, in the natural condition, is a level prairie thickly
dotted over with a stunted under-growth of bush jungle. The Bar Soil is popularly known
as Missie. The low land along the river Ravi has light loam. The central portion which is
the Deg Valley has stiff soil. Stiff soil is either Rohi or Kallarathi depending on the salt
(kallar) contents.
Formerly the city was a tehsil of Sheikhupura District. In May 2005, the Government of
Punjab decided to raise the status of the city as a District as it is a pilgrimage center for
Sikhs from all over the globe. The aim was to enhance the economic conditions of the
city along with the surrounding areas.
There has been efficient improvement, especially of major roads of the city. Changes
have also been made in the administrative bodies of city form tehsil to district level
administration.
2.3.1. Main Crops

Rice, sugarcane, cotton and wheat are the main crops cultivated in the district. Guava and
citrus are the main fruits grown in the district which are cultivated there. Other fruits
including Mango, Banana, Litchi, Jamun and Phalsa are also grown in minor quantities in
the district. The main source of irrigation is through canals & tubewells.
2.3.2. Vegetables
Carrot, Cauliflower, Potatoes, and Onion are main vegetables grown in the district.
Turnip, Peas, Tomato, Chilies and Garlic are also cultivated in the district in minor
quantities.
2.3.3. Forests
About 1.3 % of the total area of the district is under forests, which is an area of 1068.16
hectares. There is also plantation of 955 Kilometers of tress in line pattern alongside the
roads/rails/canals in the district. Kau, Phalai, Kikar and Shisham are types of trees grown
in the district.
2.3.4. Livestock
The main animals which are in the district are Goats, Sheep, Cattle, and Buffaloes.
The Project Director (Geographical Indications), Industries, Commerce & Investment
Department, Government of the Punjab has identified the following Important
Geographical Indications in the district:
 Sweets
 Sohan Halwa
 Samosa
 Colored Furniture /Charpai
2.4. Spatial Organization

The area around Nankana Sahib was formerly a tehsil of Sheikhupura (Sheikhupura is a
district of Punjab province, Pakistan). According to the 1998 census of Pakistan, the
district had a population of 3,321,029 of which 25.45% were urban. In 2005, one of its
subdivisions was split off to form the new Nankana Sahib District. In May 2005, the
Punjab government decided to raise the status of Nankana Sahib to that of a district 3 as a
way of promoting development in the area, and investment from Indian Sikhs.
2.5. Employment & Unemployment

According to the ODP, about 65% of the population is engaged in agriculture and its
related fields which is the source of employment. The percentage of workers in industry
is very low as there is not a single large-scale manufacturing unit in the area. There are,
however, several rice shellers in and around Nankana Sahib which mainly employ
seasonal labor. The economy of the area is basically agrarian. Due to weak economic
base, there is positive trend of the population to migrate from this area to other
economically developed areas of the region.
2.6. Industry
A variety of import and industrial units are operating in Nankana Sahib including
chemicals, poultry feed, soap & detergents, sugar, cotton/woolen textile, etc. Paper and
paper board industry is also concentrated here. In view of the existing industries, there
exist very good prospects for accumulated batteries, dyes/pigments,
pesticides/insecticides, polyester fiber/yarn, fertilizer, sulphuric acid, chlorinated paraffin,
chrome tanning salt, carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), iron oxide, packaging unit,
cigarette paper, craft liner, auto parts, etc. 4 Nankana Sahib possesses requisite

physical/social infrastructure facilities and developed industrial base. Therefore, in view

of overall provincial/national requirements and export potential, there exists good
prospects for pharmaceutical, cosmetics, disposable syringes, glass ampoules, artificial
leather, fiber glass, boilers, pumps and compressors, ball bearing, generators, foundry and
forging, automobile transmission etc.

2.7. Service Delivery
2.7.1. Water Supply

The present water supply arrangements are grossly insufficient as only the central parts of
the city have been connected with the piped water supply system. In some places, the
present source of water supply is still through tube wells/wells. It is proposed that a
comprehensive Master Plan for water supply be prepared to provide portable water to all
inhabitants of the city in a systematic manner. The Katchi Abadis and the slums require
special attention as they are facing many problems so far as the provision of water supply
is concerned.
2.7.2. Sewerage
According to Agroville development program Nankana Sahib 1980-1995, mostly open
drains are used for waste water collection. The central part of city has pucca drains but
the Katchi Abadis like Shad Bagh Colony and Magha Mundi town have katchi zig zag
channels, creating very unhygienic conditions. Katchi Abadis require special attention as
the problem has reached to an alarming stage with the passage of time. The sewerage
scheme for the city was started in May 1977, but the work of laying trunk sewers has not
yet been completed. It is recommended that this scheme should be completed as early as
possible.
The condition in the Katchi Abadis and slum areas are very serious as unhygienic
conditions are prevailing there at present. Special attention for the improvement of waste
water disposal arrangements is required for all such areas of the city.
At present there are 24 big and small ponds covering an area of 88 acres of land and
scattered throughout the city. These ponds are a great nuisance for the local population as
they are very insanitary. The complete elimination of these ponds is proposed in
accordance with a phased programme. Furthermore, proper disposal points for the
disposal of waste water should be constructed after conducting detailed feasibility studies
by the concerned authorities.
2.7.3. Storm Water Drainage

The slope of the city as well as its surrounding areas is from North-East to South-West.
As a result, the storm water during the rainy season enters in the city, creating many
problems for the residents. Keeping this serious problem in view, storm water channels
are also proposed to be constructed along the proposed by-pass and other important roads
after carrying out detailed feasibility studies.
2.7.4. Transport
The present transportation system of the town is far from being satisfactory. The poorly
maintained roads, level crossings, non-motorized traffic and encroachment all are
adversely affecting the existing road network. All these factors have been given thorough
consideration while making proposals. The Road Transport System can be divided into
two major categories.
 Intercity Roads
 Intracity Roads
The total area of the railway station is 110 acres.
The table below shows the important traffic arteries;

2.7.5. Refuse Collection & Disposal

 Proper refuse bins are proposed to be constructed for the collection of refuse in
the city.
 The present refuse collection and disposal arrangements are manually operated.
Therefore, it is proposed to introduce tractor trolleys for the efficient collection
and disposal of refuse from various parts of the city.
 The refuse collected can also be used for filling up the small ponds which have
already been proposed to be eliminated in accordance with a phased programme.
CHAPTER # 3
ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE
OF NANKANA SAHIB
Ch. 3 Environmental Profile of Nankana Sahib 28 | P a g e
Chapter 3– ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE OF NANKANA SAHIB
3.1. Climate of Nankana Sahib

The climate of the Nankana Sahib is subject to extreme variations. From the middle of
December to the middle of March, the air is very damp or cold and light to moderate rain
falls at intervals. The season of the winter rains is followed by a spell of very pleasant
weather. In April, the temperature rises fast, and the two successive months are very hot.
Towards the end of June, monsoon conditions appear and during the following two and a
half months’ spells of rainy weather alternate with intervals of sultry oppressive weather.
The average rainfall in the district is about 635mm.
3.2. Environmental Issues

In Nankana Sahib the disposal of solid waste is mainly done in the form of open
dumping, at a place named Dharian, in the city. This open dumping is creating total in-
sanitary & unhygienic conditions, degrading the environment of the town, emitting
obnoxious smells and providing breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies. Citizens
complain about this dumping but presently, TMA has no other option for final disposal.
Options for final disposal including composting for organic materials, regional based
incinerators or regional land filling options must be explored.
3.3. Urbanization & Commercialization

In Nankana Sahib, in-migration of people is very low because of non-maintenance and
non- up gradation of infrastructure; this states that the rate of urbanization is also low.
As for commercialization, Nankana Sahib has a lot of open spaces owing to low
development status, where in future various housing schemes and commercial areas may
be introduced. A separate commercial area has also been designated at Warburton Road
and similarly small commercial areas have also been planned within the various
neighborhoods of Nankana Sahib.
3.4. Services in Environmental Perspective

3.4.1. Sewage & Street Run-Off
The sewerage condition of the city is only satisfactory. The inhabitants of the city are
content regarding the sewerage system. It is also observed that the sewerage lines and
manholes are properly covered; little infrastructural improvements are required at very
urgent basis. Whereas the street run off is also witnessed as there are also holes for
drainage or rain water combined with the sewage water.
3.4.2. Drainage Network

A network of surface drains or open drains in Nankana Sahib carries waste water from
various sources and ultimately enters the Ravi River. These open drains are earthen
channels which cause the leaching of various pollutants directly to groundwater. The
quality of wastewater in drains is deteriorating with the passage of time.
3.4.3. Drinking Water Quality

The purpose of this section is to provide a detailed technical assessment of water quality
in Nankana Sahib. The outcome of this assessment will be used for master planning in
order to identify problems and solutions; and resource mobilization for future
improvement of water supply.
The residents of Nankana Sahib are forced to use highly contaminated and salty water for
drinking purposes otherwise they have to pay for their basic entity of living i.e. safe
drinking water. In Nankana Sahib, the quality of drinking water is continuously being
deteriorated due to untreated municipal and industrial water and drainage from
agriculture effluent.
3.4.4. Solid Waste Management

Given current estimated population parameters and national per capita solid waste
standards, Nankana Sahib currently generates about 27.71 tons of municipal solid waste
daily and is estimated to have a yearly volume of 10,114 tons. In absence of a proper
solid waste management system and data non-availability, such estimates and
calculations are based upon the following formula;
Current population X 0.4 kg/capita/day solid waste produced
Solid waste generation in Pakistan ranges between 0.283 to 0.612 kg/capita/day therefore
waste generation for Nankana Sahib is assumed around 0.4 kg/capita/day.
Due to its population growth and increase in economic activity, Nankana Sahib’s daily
generation is destined to accelerate to about 39.97 tons per day (14589 tons per year) by
2023 using 0.457 kg/capita/day, and then to about 58.52 tons daily (21287 tons per year)
by 2033 using 0.531 kg/capita/day as shown in graph. This is a massive amount of
municipal waste for Nankana Sahib. In future this may prove catastrophic, until a plan is
devised and implemented at the earliest to cater for this waste.
3.4.5. Air
The air in and around Nankana Sahib is quite polluted. Major source of air pollution in
Nankana Sahib are rice mills and brick kilns for the dwellers. Industries have been
discharging gases directly in the air without any purification which has been destroying
the crops and human health. People are facing many diseases due to air pollution like
lung diseases, throat diseases and other respiratory infections.
Nankana Sahib has a total of 151 industries; including chemical, straw board, cold
storage, flour mills, food products, industrial machinery, power generation, rice mills,
soap and detergents, sugar, textile spinning and textile weaving.
Rice mills have the largest contribution in pollution. Hundreds of people have also staged
a demonstration against the rice mills for causing environmental pollution at Ladoana
Village. The Environment Protection Department has taken strong action regarding
functioning of brick kilns to counter the effects of smog in the area. Any brick kiln using
substandard fuel will not be allowed to operate. However, brick kilns on zigzag
technology are allowed operations.
After the field survey of Nankana Sahib City, it is suggested that Government should
push brick kiln owners to shift to cleaner technologies. Strong actions should be taken
against kiln operators for using dirty technologies. Government should also set higher
emission standards for vehicles. Traffic congestion should be managed/resolved by the
Authority. Plantation should be encouraged along roads especially main roads or areas of
high activities to mitigate the effects of pollution due to traffic jams.
3.4.6. Industrialization
Industry, which can be very fundamental in establishing, boosting, and enlivening the
city, matters a lot for a new urban area and even a city. In Nankana Sahib, industrial
development is mostly taking place in a haphazard manner, mainly along Mangtanwala
Road. The present strength of industrial workers is only 0.26% to the total population of
the city. It is assumed that the rate of industrial workers’ participation would increase at
least 5% during the plan period (ODP Nankana Sahib). An industrial estate measuring an
area of about 40 acres’ land is proposed on Mangtanwala road for the establishment of
industry in a planned and systematic manner.
There are about 151 large, medium and some small industrial units in the district.
Industry-wise installed capacity of major industrial units is given in the table;

3.5. Conclusion
Nankana Sahib is facing serious environmental issues regarding solid waste and open
drainage, which requires serious attention at all levels. Air pollution is also major issue of
that area, production of rice and establishment of brick kilns is the reason of economic
development but also the cause of air pollution. Industrial development is also taking
place in haphazard manner. Suggestions have been provided for government to push
brick kiln owners to shift to cleaner technologies and for setting higher emission
standards for vehicles and kilns to control air pollution. TMA must also establish a proper
channel for final solid waste disposal. Options for final disposal including composting for
organic materials, regional based incinerators or regional land filling option must also be
explored.

Chapter 4– IDENTIFICATION OF PLANNING PROBLEMS IN

NANKANA SAHIB
4.1. Sewerage & Drainage

The sewerage and drainage systems in Nankana Sahib are only satisfactory. Open drains
can also be seen in the city. According to the ODP of Nankana Sahib, the central parts of
the city has pucca drains but the katchi abadis like Shad Bagh colony and Mogah Mundi
etc. have zig zag channels creating very unhygienic conditions. The katchi abadis require
special attention as the problem has reached to an alarming situation with the passage of
time.
Furthermore, there is a problem of the improper disposal of sullage. At present, the
sewerage is collected in several big and small ponds at various places in and around the
city. There is an urgent need of elimination of these ponds.
As the ODP states, a sewerage scheme for the central part of the city was also introduced
by the public health engineering department but the same has not been brought into
operation so far.
Figure 4.15: Site of Sewerage Connected with Open Drain

4.1.1. Major Issues
 Unplanned urbanization.
 Lack of coordination among service providers.
 Inadequate network of sewers, open drains and lack of facilities for disposal of
effluent.
 Almost no facility treatment of the wastewater.

4.2. Solid Waste Management

The existing Solid Waste Management of Nankana Sahib is being managed by the TMA.
The population of city was 48,899 individuals in 1998 and is currently estimated at
69,282 individuals. Current per capita waste generation is 0.4 kg per capita, which is
likely to increase by 1.5% every year. Nankana Sahib currently generates about 27.71
tons of municipal solid waste daily and is estimated to have a yearly volume of 10,114
tons. (PMDFC, 2013)

4.2.2. Irregularities Observed in Domestic Solid Waste Management

 There is no proper waste collection system.
 Waste is dumped on the streets and on empty spaces, there being no proper
dumping site or landfill.
 Different types of waste are not collected separately.
 Open burning and dumping of waste is very common.
 Citizens are not aware of the consequences of reckless waste disposal and
resulting environmental and public health problems.
 Lack of technical expertise for planning the collection and disposal of solid waste.
 No guidelines for recycling and lack of waste management rules.
4.2.3. Major Issues

 Onsite storage, collection, transfer and disposal.
 Solid waste dumping places within city at various places.
 Slaughter house/Hospital/Hazardous waste mixed with municipal waste.
 No proper final disposal site.
 32 hand carts (10 out of order).
 19 open collection points.
 Transportation vehicles used for transporting solid waste are not covered.
 Shortage of sanitation staff.
 Inadequate equipment.
 The solid waste management (SWM) department lacks strategic direction, has an
under- developed workforce and poor management systems.
 Inadequate planning capacity, poor information and weak financial management.
 Existing institutional arrangements for SWM suffer from fragmentation, lack of
clear division of responsibilities, and inadequate planning, management and
enforcement capacity.
 The legal and regulatory framework for SWM has several shortcomings that limit
its effectiveness. The main weaknesses are fragmentation and lack of clear
allocation of duties and responsibilities.

The subsoil of the town is bar soil and is also known as Missie soil. The low land along
the river Ravi has light soil. The central portion which is the Deg Valley has stiff soil.
Stiff soil is either Rohi or Kallarathi depending on the salt. The water is fit for human
consumption though a bit salty.
The drinking water to Nankana Sahib is supplied through a water tank, having a capacity
of 50,000 gallons constructed in 1969. As the population of the city has increased up to
29,000; it is clear that the system is grossly insufficient to meet the existing demand. The
water requirement per person has been estimated 25 gallons per capita per day. The need
of the city comes to 7, 25,000 gallons per day. Some of the shortage is covered through
hand pumps and wells but still there is need of further extension of the existing municipal
water supply system.
Presently, 1006 domestic connections are there in the central part of the city. The public
health engineering department has embarked upon extension programs keeping in view
the increasing water requirement of the city.
An urban water supply scheme for Nankana Sahib is an approved on-going project(by
which department) having a cost of 214.373 million with the aim to identify the problems
and constraints hindering the supply of safe drinking water to the community by this
water supply scheme.
Other aspects covered by the project include:
 Water supply source and its quality;
 Existing layout of the scheme;
 Water quality situation at source, specific locations in the delivery system and
consumers’ end;
 Present practices of water treatment;
 Adequacy of the system;
 Future water requirement;
 Identification of problems in the distribution network.
This Scheme will analyze the problems confronted and recommend solutions and
remedial measures ultimately to ensure the delivery of safe drinking water to the
community of Nankana Sahib.
4.3.1. Major Issues

 For most of the water supply schemes, the layout plans were not made available
by the concerned executing agencies, in spite of great efforts. These plans were
not traceable in the PHED and TMA offices as well.
 Most of the distribution pipelines have been laid in the sewerage drains without
using standard connecting accessories such as reducers, tee fittings, elbows and
other pipelines fittings.
 The deteriorated water supply schemes infrastructure and poor physical
conditions of the components including pump/motor housing, storage and water
distribution systems. The distribution pipelines made of different materials are

very old and have completed their design life.
 Physical as well as hygienic conditions of surface and overhead storage tanks, are
not good and mostly not maintained and cleaned, periodically.
 It has been observed that the maintenance areas such as occasional cleaning,
servicing of valves and hydrants, leak checking, repairs, disinfection of repaired
section of the water distribution system, etc. are totally neglected by the operation
staff of the water supply scheme that are existing.
4.4. Transportation System

An efficient transportation system is necessary for adequate social, economic and
physical development of any area. Good accessibility attracts jobs and residences which
in turn bring in economic development. The importance is also judged by the fact that it
is difficult to get insight to other problems of urban centers without understanding the
transportation system. Upgradation of existing and provision of new transportation
network and linkages determines the future development pattern.
Nankana Sahib is important for its rice export to different cities and is linked to them
through roads and rail. Major mode of transportation from Nankana to other cities is its
railway. It is connected with all big cities of the country by rail. Nankana is also
connected to surrounding areas through a network of inter-city roads.
4.4.1. Main Roads

The location of city is quite important; Nankana Sahib is linked to Lahore, Faisalabad,
Sheikhupura and Sargodha(join these paragraphs).
Shahkot Road, Mananwala Road and Jaranwala Road are the major roads passing
through the city and are managed by District Government. These are the main roads
connecting the city with other cities of country.
4.4.2. Major Urban Roads

The commonly in use and vehicles observed on the roads of Nankana City are
motorcycle, rickshaw and wagons. Both low-income and middle-income families are
prominent users of these vehicles. Following are the urban unit routes in the city.
 Mangtanwala Road
 Mananwala Road
 Bucheki Road
 Railway Road
 Feroze Warburton Road
 Jaranwala Road
 Shahkot Road
 Basti Mian Meer Road
4.4.3. Physical Condition of Intra-City Roads

The physical condition of most of intra city roads is poor. All these roads have deficient
width and drainage, due to which movement in inner city is uneasy.
The prominent roads falling under this category are:
4.4.3.1. Mangtanwala Road
Mangtanwala Road, which can play a vital role for the economic development of the city,
is in bad condition due to very poor maintenance as shown in the figure. Admor filling
station, Bus stand, Mohallah Gau Shalah, PSO petrol pump, Police Rescue 15, Rice
Factory, Wagon Stands and Telephone Exchange Building, Nankana Sahib are all present
on Mangtanwala Road.
Figure 4.17: Poor Maintenance of Mangtanwala Road
4.4.3.2. Bucheki Road

At present, there are a lot of commercial shops along Bucheki Road which are actually
playing a vital role in the development of economy of Nankana Sahib.
Figure 4.18: Commercial Area along Bucheki Road

4.4.3.3. Warburton Road

Nankana Sahib -Warburton Road is passing through Warburton Town, where the
highway traffic mixes up with the local traffic and as a result many traffic problems are
being created. At present, there is no development on Warburton road. Traffic network is
not satisfactory.
Figure 4.19: Warburton Road

4.4.4. Bus Stops
Ten bus and truck stops are provided in the city. These bus stops are in unsatisfactory
condition and need some up gradation as shown in figure. Following is the list of bus
stops.
 Mandi Mor bus stop
 Lahore Mor bus stop
 Kartarpur bus stop
 Lari Adda
 Pinshanian bus stop
 Adda Shah Kot bus stop
 Madinapur bus stop
 Gulistan Colony/ Zeeshan Ghafoor bus stop
Figure 4.20: Bus Stops in Nankana Sahib
4.4.5. Railway Line

Nankana Sahib is connected with all big cities of the country by rail. The most
comfortable and affordable trains connect Nankana Sahib with Lahore and Karachi. A
special train also connects Nankana Sahib to India via Lahore. Some taxis are also
available at the railway station.
Figure 4.21: Railway Stations in Nankana Sahib

4.4.6. Major Issues in Transportation Sector

Transportation network plays a dynamic role in the development of an area. It provides
opportunity for economic development of a region. Although, deprived transportation
network generates hurdles in the development of an area.
According to the observation made after surveys, existing condition of most of the roads
is unsatisfactory. Inter-city roads are relatively in better condition than intra-city roads in
Nankana Sahib. Due to absence of paved shoulders and footpaths, the pedestrians must
use metaled road. On-street parking and encroachment is also observed along roadside.
This factor can contribute to different traffic problems and accidents in daily life. There is
not even a single road or chowk which has been provisioned with a traffic signal.
Nankana Sahib lacks public transport like bus services or auto rickshaws. Motorcycle
rickshaws are the widely utilized public transport whereas, most of the people own motor
bikes. Considering the future growth, transportation system conditions in Nankana Sahib
need to be improved, upgraded and maintained accurately.
Some transportation issues that are observed are listed as follows:
4.4.6.1. Increased Traffic Volume in Inner Suburbs

The most widely used vehicle in Nankana Sahib are motorbikes and it is estimated that
the number of self-owned vehicles will drastically increase in future. The existing
condition and road width are not sufficient to cope with the increasing number of traffic
volume of the city. In doctor bazaar of old city, serious chaos is observed. The road
infrastructure needs to be upgraded and maintained to accommodate increased traffic
volume.
4.4.6.2. Inefficient Local Transportation System

The local transport system is not that efficient to solve transport problems faced by the
residents. The transport system is not available between internal roads and intercity roads.
There is absence of public transport for movement within the city. Therefore, it is an
urgent requirement to provide public transport to the natives.
4.4.6.3. Poor Traffic Management on Inner City Roads

Traffic management is not proper in the city. The internal roads are crowded, and the
situation will worsen in future because there are neither traffic signals nor wardens on
roads for enforcement of law and order of traffic in the city. The main reason behind this
conflict is the increasing number of encroachments and on-street parking on main roads.
Arrangements and facilities available are not enough for the fast-growing population in
the existing area.
4.4.6.4. Limited Private Sector Role

Private sector plays a significant role in the development of any sector, everywhere. In
the city no such efforts are made by private sector to enhance the current scenario.
Private sector involvement in urban transport is generally limited to the provision of
urban transport services which needs to be provided at a local level.
4.4.6.5. Limited Public Awareness

The required community participation is not seen in Nankana. The community has
limited know how about how to utilize their basic rights. Majority of citizens have not
been given access to traffic education which is why they are not bothered to follow traffic
rules and regulations creating a disorganized road system and a mess all over the city.
4.4.6.6. Inadequacy of Traffic Management Laws & Authorities

There is a need of enforcement of laws and creation of proper authorities to manage the
traffic problems. Policies and other regulating authorities are necessary to enforce the
rules to maintain the system of the city. Law enforcement authority also needs to play
their role in implementation and management of traffic rules.
4.4.6.7. Absence of Urban Transport Service

In the city, no urban transport services are available. Motorcycle rickshaws and
autorickshaws are available mostly, but there is no proper public transport such as BRTs
present in other cities.
4.5. Industrial Waste Management

There are 17 different industrial units working in the Nankana Sahib and the most
important one is the Rice Mill Industry. The rice industries are in a large number and are
located on different major roads linking to Nankana Sahib.
Rice mills are the backbone industry of the area and the major international export is of
Saila Rice from this area.
4.5.1. Major Issues

 There are several industrial units of rice which include rice processing and
packaging, hence the raw material of plastic and rice is collected, but the city has
no specific area to dispose this junk off.
 The major issue is the lack of dumping sites, there was a small dumping area for
the municipal waste but there is no clue regarding the industrial waste dumping
and collection.
 Due to improper waste management there were piles of garbage on many
locations such as on vacant plots and on some agricultural lands as well.

6.1.2. Situation According to ODP

The development of an area mainly depends upon its industrial and agriculture sectors.
Nankana Sahib and its hinterland is pre-dominantly agrarian. Few years back, the city
was known for its cotton production and as a result, 3 cotton ginning and pressing mills
were established. At present, these mills have been converted into rice Sheller’s due to
decline in cotton production. No industry worth naming exists in the city, which is also
the major cause of large scale unemployment.
In addition to the non-availability of land, there are certain other constraints like shortage
of electricity, non-availability of Sui gas and other necessary infrastructure, which have
also impeded the overall progress in industrial sector to an extent.
According to the Industrial Survey, conducted by the project office in June 1978, there
are 51 industrial units, occupying an area of 35.75 acres of lands. A total number of 181
workers are serving in the industrial establishments of the city. The skilled labor force
constitutes only 5370 of the total industrial workers.
The present trend of industrial development is mainly along Mangtanwala Road and
Railway Road in scattered and linear fashion.
It is evident from the detailed surveys of selected settlements in Nankana, that no
significant development in the field of industry has taken place in the past.
In order to boost up economic development in these neglected parts; special attention is
required to be given for industrial development. For this purpose, special incentives will
have to be provided by the Government in order to encourage the private entrepreneurs.
Such incentives could be in the form of tax holiday facilities, easy loan facilities,
availability of developed sites for industrial development etc.
Keeping all important aspects in view, medium and light industry is proposed to be
developed.
A list of proposed industry, having some potential in the area is given as under;
Table 6.137: Proposed Industrial Units

Sr. No. Proposed Industrial Units
1 Small Strawboard & Chipboard Factories
2 Poultry Farms
3 Flour & Oil Mills
4 Tanneries
5 Small Weaving Factories
6 Furniture Making
7 Tractor & Tube Well Workshops
8 Carpet Weaving
9 Rice Sheller’s
Source: ODP Nankana Sahib
Rice is the main produced crop in Nankana Sahib according to district wise report 2011-
12. Nankana Sahib produces 175 tons of rice that is second highest after Hafizabad in
Punjab.
Improvement of rice quality as well as increase in productivity is a major challenge for
the development of rice production.
In addition to the above, a small milk plant is also proposed at More Khunda. The main
reason of selecting More Khunda for the purpose is its central location and high
accessibility from all parts of the area.
6.1.3. NRM Standards & Calculations for Industry Establishment

6.1.3.1. Space Standards
 Generally, 50 factory workers are required per acre. It is proposed that; :
 Industrial estates should be separated by buffer zones of at least 150 meters for
small or at least 500 meters for large industry.
 The dimension of basic module for single plot is 25*50m. For Nankana Sahib, an
establishment of double module plot 80*50m is required according to its
population.
6.1.3.2. Access Standards

 The industrial areas should have separate water and power supplies.
 They should also have proper access to primary and secondary roads for
facilitation in transportation of raw material and produced goods.
Figure 6.143: Proposed Industrial Estates in Nankana Sahib

6.2. Proposals for Development of Recreational Activities
Figure 6.144: Existing Parks in Nankana Sahib

6.2.1. NRM Standards & Calculations for Parks & Open Spaces
At gross urban area, densities around 30 persons/acre (which are common in cities of the
country), the National Reference Manual (NRM) implies 18% of the land should be
reserved for planned open spaces; while at 20 persons/acre (ppa.) it implies 12%.
6.2.1.1. For 18%, Recreational Area

Total population of Nankana Sahib = 883876 people
Recreational area of Nankana Sahib = 883876/30
= 29462.5 acres
6.2.1.2. For 12%, Recreational Area

Total population of Nankana Sahib = 883876 people
Recreational area of Nankana Sahib = 883876/20
= 44193.8 acres
As the total existing open spaces have not been identified yet. Therefore, the total said
area required for recreational facilities will be encountered.
6.2.2. Proposals
 For neighborhood of around 25000 persons, provision of a combined playfield for
teenagers on 1.63 ha.
 The playfield should have temporary/multiple markings so that it can be used for
different games.
 For neighborhood of around 25000 persons, provision of amusement parks on
0.13 ha.
 These parks should be located within convenient walking distance for children.
Figure 6.145: Proposed Recreational Institutes in Nankana Sahib

6.3. Proposals for Adequate System of Solid Waste Management
6.3.1. Existing Situation of Solid Waste Management

The existing Solid Waste Management of Nankana Sahib is being done by the TMA. The
population of Town was 48,899 individuals in 1998 and is currently estimated at 69,282
individuals. Current per capita waste generation is 0.4 kg per capita, which is likely to
increase by 1.5% every year. Nankana Sahib currently generates about 27.71 tons of
municipal solid waste daily and is estimated to have a yearly volume of 10,114 tons.
(PMDFC, 2013)
Figure 6.146: Solid waste dumped on streets in Nankana Sahib
6.3.2. NRM Calculations for the Landfill

A sanitary landfill is proposed to be built at Nankana.
The landfill program mentioned above can be accomplished by keeping in view the
guidelines from National Reference Manual (NRM). The calculations are as under;
According to National Reference Manual;
 Generation Rate = 0.5-0.75-1 kg/capita-day

 Density = 200-250-300 kg/cu.m.
 Sanitary Landfill = 0.5-0.75-1 acre per year per 10,000 population
 Total Area requirement = Minimum 1-year period preferably 5 to 10 years
 Area of site for 1 lac population = (1 Acre/10,000) * 1,00,000 = 10 Acres
According to present situation;
 Present population (2017) = 8,83,876

 Present Waste Generation = 27.71 tons/day
 For present population Landfill area required = 80 Acres approximately
According to projected situation;
 Projected population (2050) = 22,87,881

 For projected population Landfill area required = 220 Acres
approximately
6.3.2.1. Loamy Soil

The soil at Nankana comprises majorly of loamy soil. Loam is soil composed mostly of
sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay having mineral composition about 40–40–20%
concentration of sand-silt-clay, respectively. Loam soils generally contain more nutrients.
Their permeability variation according to soil texture of the city, the above-mentioned
qualities would in turn be feasible for the purpose of the landfill.
The landfill construction adopted for the site may include series waste layers or cell in
which the volume of material will be placed during one operating period. This would
help contain the waste instead of allowing it to spread freely during windy days.
 Daily Cover: is used to control vector, litter, fire, and moisture problems and inert
wastes. The cover would be spread and compacted as the refuse cell is formed so
that only a working face needs covering at the end of the day.
 Intermediate Cover: will be placed daily but may be stronger to act as a temporary
road base and provide a limited barrier to gas migration.
 Final Cover: will be placed after landfilling is complete. It would help seal in
contaminants and prevent moisture from entering the buried refuse. Depending on
the site's ultimate use, the final cover may be designed to support various loads,
permit vegetative growth, and control any hazardous landfill gas migration.
6.3.2.2. Proposed Design Features

 Design Standards
Standards for design are necessary to ensure a consistent approach to landfill design. The
introduction of standards will assist in the improvement of landfills and prevent or reduce
negative effects on the environment. Standards and procedures used in the project
include:
 Absolute Standards
Where possible, relevant International Standards published by recognized bodies are to
be used. It should also be ensured that standards used are current.
 Performance Specifications
Performance specifications may be drawn up and used for specific topics. Leachate
control equipment and gas utilization equipment are examples where performance
specifications are used.
 Quality Assurance & Quality Control Procedures
Quality assurance and quality control are integral parts of a landfill design scheme.
Quality assurance/quality control plans should be used to ensure that the design and
construction of the facility is carried out to a satisfactory standard.

6.4. Proposals for Technical & Vocational Institutions for Women
6.4.1. Existing Situation

Currently in Nankana Sahib, there are six vocational institutes for women welfare and
empowerment. According to the Outline Development Plan of Nankana Sahib, one
technical institute measuring an area of 7 acre is proposed in the town in the future, but
this will not be enough to accommodate the total women population of Nankana Sahib in
the coming years. The following table shows the current vocational institutes in the town
which are now in function.

6.4.2. Calculations & Proposals

As mentioned in NRM, the required area of vocational training institute is 3-5 hectares,
and the current population of Nankana Sahib is 8, 83,876.
The proposals given keeping this in view are as follows:
 First step will be the awareness among the people of the city regarding the
technical training of the women and how they will play an important part in the
social and economic development of the city in the future.
This will be made possible by the support of the government and in case of
Nankana Sahib, TMA’s, which will collaborate in raising awareness among
people.
 The next step will be the identifying the total women population in Nankana
Sahib and then segregating the population i.e. the population of the old city and
the new city.
 Then comes the planning of the location and designing of the technical institutes,
the planners and technical staff. This will be the planning and designing stage of
the institutes.
 Mostly the technical institutes will be located near residential areas, so it would be
easier for all women to come and they do not have to travel long distances every
day. While others will be in the commercial area as some of the commercials
areas are closer to residential areas.
 Next will be the functioning of the institutes in order to get financial and
economic benefits. The hiring of the technical staff, making of the plan of
educating the women with technical skills in a rightful way.
 As a result of this women will be considered equally important as men in the
economic and social development of the city. Also, the women will develop self-
confidence and will be able to life an independent and different life.
6.4.3. Conclusion
As no country can develop by ignoring its women so it is essential for every country to
make reasonable arrangements for its women to become empowered in different cities
and towns of the country. Special programs must also be arranged for this purpose.
By considering its importance, we have proposed institutes on different locations by
considering ease of accessibility for women and with the aim of making women of this
city empowered as well.
By making women skilled, we can have strong alliances with other countries and we will
be on our path to development. Each region in a country has its own specialty and skillful
labor is the only way to use our assets wisely.
This project will help empower the women of Nankana Sahib. It will impart them with
skills, will make them independent and confident which will in return help in the
development of the city & will also improve its economy.

SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
(SDGs)
Ch. 7 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 190 | P a g e
Chapter 7– SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)
7.1. Introduction
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were born at the United Nations Conference
on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The objective was to produce a
set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political and economic
challenges facing our world. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise
known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the
planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
These 17 goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while
including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable
consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected
which are often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly
associated with another.
The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices
now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. They provide clear
guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities
and the environmental challenges of the world at large. The SDGs are an inclusive
agenda. They tackle the root causes of poverty and unite us together to make a positive
change for both people and planet. “Poverty eradication is at the heart of the 2030
Agenda, and so is the commitment to leave no-one behind,” UNDP Administrator Achim
Steiner said. “The Agenda offers a unique opportunity to put the whole world on a more
prosperous and sustainable development path. In many ways, it reflects what UNDP was
created for.” Each target has between 1 and 3 indicators used to measure progress toward
reaching the targets. In total, there are 304 indicators that will measure compliance.
The United Nations Development Program has been asked to provide easy to understand
lists of targets and facts and figures for each of the 17 SDGs. The 17 SDGs are as
follows;
1. Goal 1: No Poverty
2. Goal 2: Zero Hunger

3. Goal 3: Good Health & Well Being
4. Goal 4: Quality Education
5. Goal 5: Gender & Equality
6. Goal 6: Clean Water & Sanitation
7. Goal 7: Affordable & Clean Energy
8. Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth
9. Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
10. Goal 10: Reduced Inequality
11. Goal 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities
12. Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production
13. Goal 13: Climate Action
14. Goal 14: Life Below Water
15. Goal 15: Life on Land
16. Goal 16: Peace & Justice Strong Institutions
17. Goal 17: Partnerships to Achieve the Goal
7.2. Goal 1: No Poverty
"End poverty in all its forms everywhere."

Extreme poverty has been cut by more than half since 1990. Still, more than 1 in 5 people
live on less than the target figure of US$1.25 per day. That target may not be adequate for
human subsistence, however. It may be necessary to raise the poverty line figure to as
high as $5 per day. Poverty is more than the lack of income or resources. People live in
poverty if they lack basic services such as healthcare, security and education. They also
experience hunger, social discrimination and exclusion from decision making processes.
7.2.1. Sub Goals

1. Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all,
including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the
vulnerable.
2. By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the
vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic
services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property,
inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services,
including microfinance.
3. By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and
reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and
other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.
4. Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including
through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and
predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed
countries, to implement programs and policies to end poverty in all its
dimensions.
5. Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels,
based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support
accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.
7.2.2. Policies for Nankana Sahib to Eradicate Poverty

1. Determine individuals living underneath destitution line and oblige them with
required learning and abilities so they can build up their own position.
2. Support ladies by giving exceptional share in employments and training.
3. Ensure that assets are exchanged to lowest level from central level and
administration is not capturing all assets however playing their role to move it to
required spot.
4. Destitute individuals ought to be a piece of strong society. These destitute are
required to be acquainted with plans that suit these individuals as indicated by
their income level.
5. Neighborhood Departments ought to be given rights and power so as to make
sound arrangements for the fundamental issues of the city. One of the primary one
being kid abuse.
6. There ought to be value control in market with the goal that the salesmen do not
only make up their own.
7. 50 employees per acre are required in order to eradicate poverty and
unemployment.
7.3. Goal 2: Zero Hunger
“End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture.”
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right, agriculture,
forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes,
while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting the environment.
7.3.1. Sub Goals

1. By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and
people in round.
2. By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the
internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of
age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating
women and older persons.
3. By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food
producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists
and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive
resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for
value addition and non-farm employment.
4. By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient
agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain
ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme
weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land
and soil quality.
5. By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and
domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly
managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and
international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of
benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional
knowledge, as internationally agreed.
6. Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in
rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology
development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to enhance agricultural
productive capacity in developing countries, in particular least developed
countries.
7. Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural
markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural
export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance
with the mandate of the Doha Development Round.
8. Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and
their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on
food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
7.3.2. Policies for Nankana Sahib to Eliminate Hunger

1. Make endeavors to guarantee that adequate nourishment is accessible to satisfy
the needs of 3.455 million and individuals living past destitution line or in
defenseless circumstances, gain admittance to protected and nutritious sustenance.
2. Special awareness projects ought to be organized through NGO's or TMA to give
neighborhood individuals learning to have a solid eating routine and on hindering
and wasting in kids under 5 years old. Special health centers ought to be provided
to address ladies medical problems.
3. The agrarian profitability ought to be expanded for wheat, corn, rice, potatoes,
sugar cane and turmeric by utilizing proficient strategies for generation and using
desolate land and making it fertile.
4. Develop rural segment of the city by presenting extraordinary universities giving
specialized degree and recognitions so individuals can prosper in their very own
area.
5. Research centers for rice and its production might be developed. Since Nankana
has one of the most significant rice productions in the region, the research will
help in the growth of economy.
6. Rice export should also be increased by good publicity. This can be accomplished
by the research centers’ formation as mentioned above.
7.4. Goal 3: Good Health & Well Being
“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to
sustainable development. Significant strides have been made in increasing life
expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal
mortality. Major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and
sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However,
many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address
many different persistent and emerging health issues.
7.4.1. Sub Goals

1. By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000
live births.
2. By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age,
with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per
1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live
births.
3. By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical
diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable

7.15. Goal 14: Life Below Water
“Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for
sustainable development.”
The Sustainable Development Goals create a framework to sustainably manage and

protect marine and coastal ecosystems from land-based pollution, as well as address the
impacts of ocean acidification. Enhancing conservation and the sustainable use of ocean-
based resources through international law will also help mitigate some of the challenges
facing our oceans.
7.15.1. Sub Goals

1. Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through
enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels.

and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-
based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time
feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as
determined by their biological characteristics.
5. By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with
national and international law and based on the best available scientific
information.

7.16. Goal 15: Life on Land
“Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land

degradation, halt biodiversity loss.”
Human life depends on the earth as much as the ocean for our sustenance and livelihood.
Plant life provides 80 percent of our human diet, and we rely on agriculture as an
important economic resource and means of development. The Sustainable Development
Goals aim to conserve and restore the use of terrestrial ecosystems such as forests,
wetlands, dry lands and mountains by 2020. Promoting the sustainable management of
forests and halting deforestations is also vital to mitigating the impact of climate change.
Urgent action must be taken to reduce the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity which
are part of our common heritage.

CHAPTER # 9
PROPOSED
RECOMMENDATIONS
Ch. 9 Proposed Recommendations 232 | P a g e
Chapter 9– PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1. Transportation
1. In commercial areas, main roads should be wide and two-way with two or three lanes
both. Further, there should be provision of adequate parking facilities in the vicinity
of those commercial areas. This can help in reducing the issue of traffic congestion.
2. An Asset Management Plan for the city’s road sector should be prepared and planned
rehabilitation of roads that have outlived their design life should also be undertaken.
3. Many problems are being generated due to road encroachments such as traffic
congestion etc. The concerned authority should take proper actions against these.
4. The road network of Nankana Sahib is satisfactory. Though it may be damaged if its
proper maintenance is not undertaken. Therefore, it is recommended that on-street
parking and mainly the road encroachments should be controlled before the problem
gets worse.
5. No proper footpaths have been provided on any major roads except along Railway
Road and that too, is not in a good condition due to poor maintenance. People are
seen walking along the right of ways’ of the roads causing intermixture of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic. Therefore, it is recommended that proper footpaths should be
provided along major roads for efficient flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic both
and also for avoidance of road accidents.
Similarly, ribbon type of commercial development is also seen along roads that is
undesirable as it causes traffic congestion. This can be minimized by restrictions and
controls as well as proper planning of commercial areas. Introduction of traffic
calming techniques might also be helpful in this case in Nankana Sahib.
9.2. Industry & Technology

6. Access to finance and investment for the micro, small, and informal private sector
should be increased so that the financing of small-scale local businesses and
technologies becomes possible.
7. Rice production and research centers should be provided in Nankana to improve the
quality and quantity of rice and increase its export thereby benefitting the economy.
8. There are huge commercial markets in Nankana that can, at times of Sikh pilgrimage
boost the economy very effectively but instead these markets remain close during
these times due to an imposed curfew citing security reasons and fear of terrorism. In
this case, the government and/or concerned authorities can play a vital role by
enforcing strict security measures. This will help in lessening the fear of the people as
well as terrorist incidents from occurring thereby generating good economy.
9. There should be more government teaching hospitals and health centers to fulfill the
need of city with better technology and facilities.

10. Nankana Sahib should have a proper plan for solid waste collection. Proper channels
and mass awareness programs for highlighting the importance of recycling should be
put in place.
11. There is no proper landfill site in Nankana Sahib. At present, the disposal of solid
waste is mainly done in the form of open dumping near a place known as Dharian in
the city. This open dumping is creating total in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions,
degrading the environment of the city, emitting obnoxious smells and providing
breeding for mosquitoes and flies. Hence, a proper landfill site should be provided for
the disposal of solid waste.
9.4. Recreation
12. Recreational areas i.e. parks, should be properly maintained and the effective
provision of infrastructure including proper sitting arrangement, toilet facilities,
lighting and drainage facilities should be ensured. Aesthetics should be improved
through focus on flora.
9.5. Provision of Finances & Capacity Building of Institutions

13. Strengthening of institutions, local authorities and community so that they can play
their role proficiently and effectually in the development of Nankana Sahib at their
respective levels.
14. Capacity building of agencies responsible for implementation of the plans; both, by
deputing additional technical staff, and through periodic training of the said staff.
15. There should be ample availability of funds and financial resources by the
government for the smooth and timely execution of the public-sector development
projects in Nankana Sahib.
16. Due to non-availability of funds, improper planning and absence of quality resources;
the project titled “Development of Resort for Religious Tourism at Nankana Sahib” is
incomplete with no forward movement. The said project was to be completed in
2016.
The main objective was to facilitate the Sikh pilgrims who came to Pakistan to visit
gurdwaras and shrines, and to promote cultural tourism, increase economic activities
and empower local communities. The project also aimed to promote general tourism
by creating appropriate attraction and facilitation center and to provide enhanced
capacity for visiting tourists to enable them to stay in comfortable/secure
environment.
It was also aimed for image building of the country by creating harmonious relations
with other communities.
Keeping the above said in view, the government should take some strict action in this
regard and provide remaining funds to the authority so that this project can be
completed at the earliest.
9.6. Nankana Sahib Authority

17. There should be a separate Nankana Sahib Authority which can look after all the
development works in Nankana. In this way, the development can be properly
managed and further, upgradation and maintenance of infrastructure can also be done
efficiently by the authority. This will consequently, improve the quality of life of
people.
9.7. Clean Water Facilities

18. The provision of clean water facilities by the government should be ensured since the
residents of Nankana Sahib are using private wells for drinking purposes.
9.8. Religious Tourism

19. The concept of religious tourism or pilgrimage industry has been prevalent for quite a
while globally. In Saudi Arabia, tourism industry currently generates about 2.7% of
GDP, with religious tourists making up the largest group of visitors.
In a similar way, Nankana Sahib in Pakistan is also one of those ideal sites where
economy can be generated since it is home to Sikh Pilgrim once every year. Despite
terrorism and financial crisis, digital technologies have always seen a boost to the
pilgrimage industry.
Globally it has been seen that most of the schools, bazaars, inns, and economic
departments have been built besides mosques, shrines, tombs, and other religious
sites. The reason is that because the people were interested in going to visit these
religious sites, it resulted in generation of many jobs and income. Correspondingly,
with provision of efficient facilities such as commercial markets, public transport,
hotels and resorts closer to the gurdwaras, Nankana Sahib can become a very
important tourist base, contributing effectively to the economy of the country.
In contrast, a new awareness of several negative impacts, especially on the
environment have also been observed with religious tourism. The only need is for
better planning measures and fresh ideas to cope up with these adverse effects and
guide growth in a more channeled way.
9.9. Vocational & Training Centers

20. Women vocational and training centers should be provided in various locations in
Nankana to strengthen women by offering them skills to earn for themselves.
