District Washuk is located in south west of Balochistan province, have a total area of 33.093 square km. it is one of the biggest districts in Balochistan. It had a total population of 129,747 according to census of 1998. It is facing serious social and economic problems. Literacy rate is very low and basic rights of life are not available to people. In this modern era of Information and Technology, electricity, bank, mobile service, DSL is some of the major problems which this district faces. Besides this, unstable and incompetent governmental departments are causing discontent in public. Yet now, no serious efforts have been taken to bring Washuk at par with other districts.With vast area and dispersed population, poor health facilities, lack of awareness and communication facilities, insufficient number of hospitals and vacant posts in them have made district most backward with respect to health in region. According to government sources and official report, district Washuk has one District Headquarter Hospital, one Rural Health Center, nineteen Basic Health Units, fifteen civil dispensaries and one MCHC.

Washuk has seven male doctors, two female nurses, 25 midwife, two hundred eighty four paramedical staff, thirteen health visitors, one hundred forty lady health workers which are less to provide health facility to poor people.

According to MICS 2010 report, Antenatal Care is 29 percent, 89% birth cases occur in homes, only 11% are attended by trained health workers, mortality rate of one year children is 8.8% and 11.2% children do not see their 5^th birthday, each 18535 people have one doctor, 64874 people have one female nurse, 457 people have one paramedical staff, 3707 people have single bed, 20760 people have one lady health worker. 7% population uses iodine salts. Female literacy rate is less than 6%.

Along with district health department, PPHI, National Program for Family Planning, TB control Program, Extended Program for Immunization (EPI), Malaria Control Program is working in district. There is only one private hospital and no NGO is working to develop health standards there.

In established hospitals, insufficient number of doctors is a big problem. The posts of doctors in district headquarter hospital, rural health center and basic health units are vacant. There is no specialist doctor, dental surgeon, lady doctor in whole district. Services for child and mother health care are unavailable. MNCH is partially active with one center.  Private maternity home and clinics are unavailable.

Complications of delivery and mother mortality are high. Lack of awareness about mother health care, lack of family health planning, absence of midwife and malnutrition of mothers, untrained birth tenants, inaccessibility and unavailability of baby care services, Hypertension, infection and illness after labor are main causes of this mortality. During pregnancy and after child birth, females are not checked up.

During labor complication cases, ambulance service is not available to take them to nearby city. Nutritional disease and respiratory diseases are common in district. United Nations Millennium Development Goal (MDG) has not been initiated in district. Performance of PPHI is unsatisfactory in district. There is absence of male and female support groups, school health sessions, community health sessions and health hygienic programs. In BHUs, microscope, glucometer, haemometer, typhoid and malaria kits are unavailable for normal medical tests. People go to other districts to conduct these basic tests. Hospitals have destroyed buildings and have no electricity and telephone services.

There is no proper managements for preventive vaccination of children from communicable diseases that is why the ratio of the communicable disease is high as compared to other districts. According to the demographic and health surveys, the children are found to be weak from malnutrition and cannot fight infection. Shortage of medicines and labor rooms is another big problem which hospitals face.

If we put a glance at malaria control program, annual parasite incidence is 4.3% in Washuk and it should not be more than .0005% (according to WHO standards). Same is case with falciforms.

 According to TB control program, case detection rate is 82% and treatment success rate is 86%. Extended Program for Immunization (EPI) provides vaccines for six communicable diseases. The ratio of preventive vaccination is very low especially TT2 is 8% while BCG, DPT, influenza ratios are also disappointing. Lack of awareness of public towards vaccination is also a cause of it. Performance of National Program is not different from above. No medical camp had been held here since 2010 to help poor people. Hepatitis is a common disease there. No group is working to control hepatitis and AIDS.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Nihyan hospital of Basima is partially functional. Hospital ambulance is damaged. Laboratories of hospitals have lack of instruments. Doctors and paramedical staff have no accommodation facility.

In this predicament situation, poor people of Washuk are suffering serious health problems. Yet now, no concrete measures are under consideration. Disparate efforts are needed to solve health problems. MPA and MNA have to take this at priority. Provincial Health Department of Balochistan must give attention to it. Community has to play its role and make a momentum to sort out a way for problems. Interpersonal communication (IPC) is very important for success of immunization program; we have to realize the role of workers, vaccinators, lady health workers, community volunteers, as front line communicator. They can play a pivotal role in increasing awareness. Political leaders from different parties of district Washuk have to understand problems and take health problems at priority. Sense of motivation, passion and quest of knowledge should be created in public about health. This can be achieved via school health sessions, community health sessions.
                                                         

Deplorable Situation of Education in Washuk, Balochistan

By: Dr. Nouroz Khan Essazai

Washuk was notified as a separate district status on 4^th June 2005, Formerly it was a Tehsil of District Kharan. Area wise district Washuk is the third largest district in Balochistan and covers an area of 33.093 sq km. its projected population is 129747. Consists of 3 Tehsils viz Basima, Mashkel and Washuk and 9 union councils. It is 464 km away in the southwest of Quetta, Sharing its boundaries in the southwest with Panjgur, Khuzdar in the east, Chaghai, Kharan in the north and Iran in the west. Main ethnic group in the district is Baloch. The district has one provincial assembly seat PB47 and combined constituency of Kharan, Washuk, Panjgur, NA271. The district is famous for groves of date palms.

     Washuk has remained as one of the neglected districts of Balochistan with respect to developmental activities and is facing serious funding constrains to carry out its activities. In order to bring it par with other districts of Balochistan, serious measures have never been taken and has not remained on developmental preference of provincial as well as federal government.

    District Washuk’s backwardness is multidimensional. Illiteracy, unavailable of electricity, unavailability of banks and mobile services in this era of technology and unstable district governmental departments are one of the genuine concerns. Along with other problems the scattered population of District does not have access to educational facilities. Some key findings and brief highlights of educational departments are as follows.

     According to BEMIS 2010 statistical report, there are total 160 schools for the population of 129747, 141 are primary schools (boys 111 / girls 30), 12 middle schools (8 boys / 4 girls), 7 high schools (Boys 6 / 1 Girls) thus Washuk has the least no of schools in Balochistan. The number of enrolled students is very low. Teacher pupil ratio shows that there is one teacher for 30 boys and one teacher for 76 girl’s in primary schools. There are 60 adult literacy centers which were running by NCHD, and are now non functional. 36 community schools are being operated by BEF.

     Basic infrastructure facilities portray an alarming picture. Statistics reveals that 15 primary schools are still without building, 104 are without boundary wall, 111 are without toilets, and 41% have no water facility. Same is the condition of middle schools, 6 middle schools are still without boundary wall, and 4 have no toilet and water facility. 2 high schools are without boundary wall.

    There is only one girl’s high school in the district and one Boys Inter College at Tehseel Basima, which is still without building and infrastructure. Number of permanent lecturers is three in college. Literary rate of females is less than 6%. There is no private college in the district and three private schools are working in Basima on selfhelp.

Major educational problems: Various problems regarding educational backwardness include very insufficient number of educational institutions, infrastructure problems, severe deficiency of SST (S) and SST (G) at middle and high schools, unavailability of science labs, computer labs, deficiency of exam halls and absence of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, no scouting programs. Furthermore old school buildings have not been renovated. Along with this, unavailability of transport and conveyance facility for district educational department, particularly for students of Girls high school Basima who come from far flung and remote areas. It is necessary to mention that reserved seats of district’s huge population at different professional colleges are less, and are not equivalent to  district deserved quota. In continuation with these, another issue is the non functional and abandoned technical workshop at boy’s high school Basima.

  Political influence is one of the most important factors, which has polluted, ruined and damaged the educational setup. Teachers are recruited and appointed on political grounds instead of merit. The district education officer is selected with same procedure, due to this evil, there is no strict supervision and monitoring of school, this is why that syllabus is never completed in governmental schools. Drop out percentage and ratio at Washuk district is very high as compared to other districts of Balochistan for following reasons.  Boys drop out is due to late schooling age (9-10), as they reach the age of adolescence, due to poverty parents consider they should help them.  

Girls discontinue their education due to sever deficiency of educational institutes. It can be assessed from this that there is only one Girls High School at Basima and no College for girls in the district.

          Serious notice and immediate, special attention should be given on backwardness and deplorable, situation of Washuk, and practical measures must be carried out by education department, Elected representatives, NGO’s can play an important role in uplifting the educational standard of Washuk.

Rakhshan Prpfessional Students Forum has published a comprehensive report about poor situation of life in District Washuk. Each sector has been discussed and compared with neighbouring districts. Here a copy of it is published. A view of it will show how people have been deprived if their basic rights.

Houbara Bustard, Provincial Bird of Balochistan

Houbara Bustard with her chicks

Houbara bustard is provincial bird of Balochistan. This is an endangered bird. There are two types of houbara bastard; indigenous and migratory.  Migratory Houbara Bastard starts arriving in Balochistan (Washuk, Khuzdar, Lasbela, Nushki, Dalbindin, Zhob, Ormara, Gwadar, Pasni, Panjgur, Dera Bugti, Dera Murad Jamali, Chaghai and Sibi) from the Mongolia, Siberia and Central Asian Republics at the start of the winter season (November and December) as the temperature drops below freezing point in these areas and return back in March and April. Experts have estimated that number of these migratory birds entering Balochistan is about 15,000-20,000. The bird takes only seven to ten days while covering about 5,5O0 kilometers from Siberia and Central Asian Republics to Balochistan and flies at a height of 4,000 meters. Houbara Bastard travels in groups with a leader, others follow him in a row. Once they lose their leader, the deputy guides the group to reach its destination. Houbara is a very sensitive bird and does not use the route again if they sense any danger on their way during the first journey. In case the houbara loses its mate, it takes three to five years to find a new one. Its population is declining due to illegal hunting and destruction of its habitats. The rapid increase in population is also affecting the bird’s habitat and breading grounds.  Houbara gives birth to only two chicks a year, but the elder kills the younger one due to the fear of sharing food. Interestingly, this rivalry between the houbara newborns is also one of the factors of their gradual decrease.
 Nag Rakshan Valley in district Washuk in Balochistan is only place in Pakistan where residential houbara bustard is found. Rakhshan provides rich diversity of flora, fauna, insects and weeds to this endangered, modest and shy bird. A plant local called Kareech in Balochi is abundantly found here. Its flowers and leaves are favorite food & breeding habitat for houbara bustard. Due to non availability of other sources of fuel, the local community of Rakshan valley uses this plant to burn it in their kitchen so putting its existence to severe danger. The population of residential bird has been reduced drastically in the area due to hunting by Arab hunters (because they value its meat as an aphrodisiac) and due to domestic abuse (illegal netting, trapping and poaching) as well as exploitation of its habitat. Houbara Protection Organization is an NGO in district Washuk to protest hunting of Houbara and preserve this natural asset of Rakhshan valley. UAE obtained hundreds of eggs, chicks and birds to develop National Avian Research Centre in Abu Dhabi in 1980’s from here. Houbara bustard is a highly protected species both under national law and international conventions. It is protected under the Provincial Wildlife Acts/Ordinance of Balochistan. By 1975 it was declared an endangered species in Pakistan. The houbara could become extinct within 10 to 15 years from Balochistan if unchecked hunting, illegal trapping and trading of the bird continue. The natural death rate of the endangered birds is 30 percent while death due to hunting is more than 70 percent.

There is need for community awareness about this endangered bird and their involvement in preservation and protection of the houbara and a complete ban on issue of hunting permits to foreign hunters.

Characteristics of Houbara Bustard: The Houbara Bustard is a small to mid-sized bird. It measures 22–26 inches in length and spans 53–67 inches across the wings. It is brown above and white below, with a black strip down the sides of its neck. In flight, the long wings show large areas of black and brown on the flight feathers. The sexes are similar, but the female is rather smaller and greyer above. The body mass is 1.15–2.4 kg in males and 1–1.7 kg in females. The Houbara Bustard breeds in deserts and other very arid sandy areas and is largely resident within its range. Like other bustards, this species has attractive display raising the white feathers of the head and throat and withdrawing the head. Two to four eggs are laid on the ground. This species is omnivorous, taking seeds, insects and other small creatures. Its average life is 15 years.

District Washuk at a glance.

District Washuk is located in the northwest of Balochistan, along Iranian border with Pakistan. This district has three tehseels; Washuk, Mashkel and Basima, 10 union councils and 216mauzas (villages).  The shape of district is approximately rectangular, with 305 km length and 150 km width. Area of district is 29,510 km² out of which 71,520 hectare is arable. Adjoining districts are Kharan & Kalat, Khuzdar, Panjgur in north, east and south respectively.  Washuk district has a total population (in 1998) of 118,171, comprising 62,114 males and 56,059 females, with a population density of only 4.0 per km2. The literacy rate is low at 18%. Washuk town is at center of district approximately. Mashkel is at western corner and Basima is at eastern corner. Washuk town is at a distance of 195 km from Iran border. Kalporagan, Kaledin, Jaleq are populated Iranian towns located at west of this district.  Mashkel is a sandy area, Tehseel Washuk has both sandy and mountainous topography. Basima has mountains and granular plain. The climate of this district varies from tehseel to tehseel. Dry and dust storms are very common throughout the year in Mashkel and Washuk. These storms become very severe during the period of summer from June to September. People call these storms "Livar". They are described as scorching and destructive, killing everything. During this period traveling becomes impossible. During the summer season, days are hot but nights are very pleasant and cool. The winter is dry and moderately cold. Tehseel Basima is moderately hot in summer and severely cold in winter. Dust storms also blow but their intensity is lower here. Precipitation is low. The soil of some areas is alluvial and extremely fertile. The best type is called "Matt". It requires less water and retains moisture for longer periods and is suitable for all crops. There are no forests in the district. Trees are few and scanty. Agriculture is major source of livelihood. Date Palm is the most common fruit in Mashkhel and in Washuk. Few wild fig trees and tamarix also exist in the hills. Willows also grow in the Nullahs. Pistachio is rarely found. Wild vine is found in sheltered spots and in lower slopes of the hills. Grass and bush known as "Alony" are fairly abundant. Wheat is the principal crop. In fruits; dates, melon, watermelon, apples, pomegranates, cherry, grapes, peaches, plums, pears are produced. The major Rabi crops include wheat, barley, pulses and vegetables. Kharif crops in Basima comprise orchards, vegetables, and fodder and onion. Pulses and oil seeds are also cultivated on a limited area. Business is an important economic sector. Business of smuggled things from Iran; oil & gas, detergent, motorcycles, snacks, cold drinks is prominent in markets. Labor class goes to Seistan and Mekran to earn. Livestock is another economic sector in the district. Livestock sector is constrained by insufficient and low quality of feed and fodder. There is lack of care for it. Veterinary hospitals are insufficient and medicines are scanty in them. The nomadic inhabitants of the district take their animals to hilly areas and other places in search of grazing lands.

Hamun Mashkel, biggest lake of Pakistan is located in this district. This is some 85 kilometers long and 35 kilometers wide, the surface of the Hamun-i-Mashkhel is littered with sun-cracked clay, oxidized pebbles, salty marshes and crescent-shaped moving sand dunes.

Mentality of a Common Baloch Mir

In life, somethings occur seldom but they make one to think a lot. Such a situation occurred with me while moving through pages of daily Intekhab, an online Quetta based local newspaper. Statement of a local Mir was published in page 6 of 6^th April’s edition. Mir sahib leads a village of District Washuk, poorest district of Pakistan. He says: “Washuk is pacing track of prosperity under leadership of Mir Habib-ur-Rehman Mohammadhasani. He has initiated a network of multifaceted development projects for prosperity of district. We salute his struggle for public. His achievements have perturbed opponents. They stop propaganda against MPA.

This is a normal statement for you if you have not visited Washuk. You will have completely different feelings toward this statement if you visit Washuk or ask a common Baloch of Washuk about his sufferings.

Washuk is poorest district of Pakistan! It was established after partition of district Kharan in 2005. It has a population of about 0.18 million, with an area of 29,510 km^2.  Washuk District is divided into 3 tehsils, 10 union councils and 216mauzas.

 Can you imagine that this district has no NADRA office, no degree college and no vocational college? But Washuk is void of these. District Washuk has running without any bank. Employees travel a distance of 70 to 100 km for getting their salaries and to make a bank transaction. There is no civil hospital, no single lady doctor, only two rural health centers and one rural health center has no electricity, PTCL connection beside Assistant Commissioner House with electricity and PTCL connections. 80% of villages have no electricity. Mobile service is limited to two tehsils. My district Washuk owns only one Inter College and one High School for girl’s education. Inter college was established in 2010, but no land has acquired for construction of its infrastructure. Both inter college and Girls High School has no bus. Students travel on foot 10 to 15 km before reaching to institutions. Girls High School has no science laboratory. There is no computer lab and computer teacher in any institution. Whole district lacks DSL facility. 85% of local roads are unpaved and bumpy.

Mir Habib-ur-Rehman was elected twice as MPA from this constituency, he is serving as provincial minister since 2003, minister of Jail Affairs in cabinet of Ex-CM Jam Muhammad Yousuf, and minister of WASA in present Balochistan cabinet. Governor, CM Balochistan and Chief Secretary has not visited district since its establishment to solve its problems. MPA has not presented a bill for special attention of government about predicament situation of district.

Mir Sahib! Have you ever thought why we select MPA? Is there any other sector important than education, health, transportation sectors to be invested first? Provision of a transformer to a village with an inscription of appraisal is not from pocket of MPA and there is a wide world other than appointment of someone in levies force. Alas you may have thought for one minute about future of your children in 21th century of global village!

Rakhshan Professional Students Forum

Rakhshan is a huge region with a population of about 140,000 people on an area larger than area of any district of Balochistan province. Dispersed population, on one side enjoys natural clean environment and leads a free life, on other hand, provision of health, educational and other basic human rights provision are rare for it. No serious effort has been made yet to pave it to advancement by Government and responsible authorities. This was the topic being discussed by young professionals of Rakhshan belt on December, 2011. They thought what role they can play to serve Rakhshan. They thought the collective problems. They came to result that solution of problems is in team work on a platform. So Rakhshan Professional Students Forum was made. Initially its Organizing Body was made, its purpose is to launch a campaign for RPSF and propagate the thought that collective problems can be solved by team work on an unbiased, sincere platform.
