Whether the projects are well executed or not, But, the disputed resolutions create hurdles towards development in the region. Tourism is the one of sustainable Industries with the highest rate of growth while providing various employment opportunities for a portion of the Gilgit-Baltistan population, particularly for youth and marginalized women. As a result, this helps in reducing poverty and improves the standard of living. Despite its enormous tourist potential, Gilgit-Baltistan's tourism sector has been ignored by the Government of Pakistan (GOP), due to the disputed status of the region. By creating appropriate tourist policies and regulations: the tourism sector may bring revolutionary improvements to the lives of local communities. Furthermore, this research also stipulates basic and valuable tourism knowledge from literature which includes the importance of tourism, the potential of tourism development in the region, and highlights various barriers for tourism development of the region. The research is of qualitative nature. I have conducted an online survey that includes open-ended questions with proper sampling.

It is considered as a first step which has motivated the transgender community of the country to fight for their necessities and rights in the country where they are considered as nothing. In Pakistan transgender have faced a lot because they have been always marginalized since independence, the society have always discriminated, rejected them and the community have faced violence, stigmatization and a sense of loneliness which tells them they are alone in the society. Transgender community have never considered as individuals who are also humans like others and have needs this society has always considered them abnormal or threat to the community and this behavior is a year’s practices which have make transgender thinks that this is their fate and they are not going to upgraded ever.

In Pakistan, here is no mechanism in place that stores and makes info available about everyone. Each nation now considers having an e-governance infrastructure essential. Each nation voter's full document is kept by the e-governance system. If anyone had committed a crime, the database would have all key data about them. In this thesis, I will make the case for Pakistan's government establishing an e-governance framework. The NADRA network would be connected to this one. Police stations will have this system implemented, and they will be capable of uploading FIR in accordance with CNIC. This FIR will stay in place until a conclusion is reached. By establishing this technology in terminals, it would be very beneficial in preventing terrorists from escaping the land. The culprit would be apprehended wherever he uses his CNIC in Pakistan. criminal thugs would also be eliminated thanks to this technique. In this study, the current police system is also addressed. The e-FIR system offers an answer to the many issues with the conventional FIR system. Finally, the topic of obstacles to e-governance in Pakistan was also covered.Item IMPACT OF SMOG IN LAHORE AND PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS(UMT, Lahore, 2022) Danial NasirSMOG is a particularly dangerous type of air pollution that has lately been designated a public health emergency in Southeast Asia. This study will describe the negative effects of smog pollution in Punjab and how they affect human health. Since a few years, smog has become Pakistan's most pressing issue. Smog has been affecting practically all areas of Pakistan particularly Lahore, since 2011. When a dangerous environmental event like smog occurs, the conclusion may be riskier than the event itself if people act irrationally due to a lack of relevant understanding. As a result, examining people's attitudes and reactions to pollution is both theoretically and practically important. high rates of pollution from unregulated industries and a significant number of autos on the road all play a role in the rise of deforestation to build new roads and the burning of crop waste has recently added fuel to the fire. Due to a shortage of public transportation, the number of vehicles has increased by 9% in the last five years. This resulted in a regulated patient burden in hospitals and clinics due to acute respiratory ailments, visual irritation, and infections that were inhabited or were moving to the city. Eyes burning, heavy breathing, sneezing, wheezing, and a severe cough were the most common signs and symptoms. The cardiovascular system is also harmed by smog. Smog has no acceptable limits because even fine ozone particles are harmful. Although ultraviolet radiation protects the ozone layer from damage it acts as pollution at ground level and its long-term high ground level can permanently damage lung tissue.Item DOLPHIN FORCE PERFORMANCE (STREET CRIMES)(UMT, Lahore, 2022) Hiba SohailItem Impact of Clean Drinking Water and Sanitation on Life Expectancy in Pakistan(UMT, Lahore, 2022) Afifa NaeemThis research discusses the impact of clean water and sanitation on life expectancy.
