The primary objective of LIMS is to reduce domestic agricultural imports, increase exports, and meet the food needs of the growing population. By providing farmers with simultaneous access to information on climate change, satellite crop monitoring, water, fertilizer, spray focus areas, and direct access to markets, LIMS aims to elevate agricultural practices in Pakistan to new heights.

Agriculture, the backbone of Pakistan's economy, contributes approximately 24 percent to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs around 42 percent of the labor force. Agriculture's significance in Pakistan's economy is evident as it engages approximately 70 percent of its people in direct and indirect agricultural activities.

In an unprecedented move, the Government of Pakistan, in collaboration with Pakistan Army, has developed and launched Land Information and Management System (LIMS) to promote modern agriculture and revolutionize the agriculture sector in the country. This ambitious initiative marks the first comprehensive government effort to develop the agriculture sector in the country's history.

Through this joint initiative, the government targets to reclaim uncultivated and barren land across the country, fostering socioeconomic development and revitalizing the country’s economy. A qualified planning and monitoring team under a Major General has been appointed as the Director General Strategic Projects (DGSP) to spearhead and supervise the countrywide undertakings.

Interestingly, armed forces in various countries, including China's People’s Liberation Army, Israeli Defense Forces, and South American armies, have increasingly been involved in nation-building endeavors. @waz For example, China established the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in 1954 to develop multiple sectors, such as agriculture, industry, mining, railway tracks, highways, education, and health services, in its frontier region.
Similarly, since the country's independence, Pakistan Army has actively participated in developing the remote areas, including erstwhile FATA, Gilgit-Baltistan, Chitral, Balochistan, interior Sindh, and South Punjab. Their efforts have encompassed various infrastructure development projects, providing educational and healthcare support through CMHs (Combined Military Hospitals) and medical camps and implementing water supply schemes. Noteworthy nation-building projects undertaken by the army include the establishment of defense production sector entities like Pakistan Ordnance Factories, Frontier Works Organization, Heavy Industries Taxila, and Fauji Foundation.


Pakistan Army boasts a disciplined and responsive reservoir of manpower with exceptional organizational ability. Their disciplined and capable manpower is regularly engaged in various essential tasks, including desilting canals, combating natural disasters, and addressing other issues of national importance. They are renowned for their efficiency in undertaking rescue and relief operations during natural disasters. Moreover, they actively participate in significant national endeavors, such as conducting census, combating power theft, and addressing issues with ghost schools. The army also plays a crucial role in planned large-scale afforestation, cultivating vast acreages of wasteland and planting saplings. Their involvement in the agriculture and animal husbandry sectors is also evident through the maintenance of animal dairies, agriculture farms, and the breeding of milk-producing animals.


Agriculture, the backbone of Pakistan's economy, contributes approximately 24% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs around 42% of the labor force.


Despite being an agriculture-based economy and a significant wheat-producing country (ranked 8th globally), Pakistan faces food insecurity, necessitating reliance on imports for essential items such as wheat, sugar, tea, and palm oil. The reasons for this food insecurity are multifaceted, including droughts, floods, extreme weather conditions, and smuggling. The World Food Programme (WFP) reports that a significant portion of the population (18.3%) experiences food insecurity, with a substantial number facing severe food crisis.


Through this joint initiative, the government targets to reclaim uncultivated and barren land across the country, fostering socioeconomic development and revitalizing the Country’s economy.


Through the implementation of LIMS, new canals are projected to reclaim an additional 9 million hectares of uncultivated wasteland. This advanced system will provide real-time information and guidance to farmers concerning water irrigation systems, crop yields, weather forecasts, fertilizers, and modern technologies. To support these initiatives, foreign investments are expected, potentially amounting to 3 billion dollars, from countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain.

In a recent seminar on the green revolution, COAS General Syed Asim Munir assured the nation of Pakistan Army's full support for all initiatives under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), including the Green Pakistan initiatives. Since independence, the army's active involvement in various sectors has significantly contributed to nation-building, and their participation in LIMS is expected to ensure its success. Pakistan Army remains a crucial source of stability, security, defense, and national pride.

In conclusion, LIMS is a landmark initiative that reflects the commitment of Pakistan’s government and Pakistan Army to modernize the agricultural sector and drive socioeconomic development in the country. With the potential to reclaim vast expanses of uncultivated land and provide farmers with essential information and resources, LIMS promises to play a pivotal role in boosting agricultural productivity, reducing food insecurity, and promoting economic growth. The partnership between the government and army underscores the significance of collaborative efforts in nation-building and highlights the army's multifaceted role in various development projects throughout the country’s history. Pakistan Army's continued support and involvement remain essential pillars of stability, security, and national pride as the country progresses toward its vision of a prosperous and self-sufficient agriculture sector.

Its that time of the month

Faujeets will start spamming Hilal Publications
 
Hopefully they improve water management and don’t just do wasteful watering strategies; overuse of water and fertilizer and pesticides to produce water intensive crops like wheat at lower the international levels of yield.

Otherwise this initiative will do more harm than good, such as draining the aquifers.

The reason why Pakistan is a failed state is because of the pakistani military establishment..

Pakistan is a banana republic of Faujistan

Go back to the barracks ..
SOB!
 
Lol. The respect is not coming back. No matter how many ‘paid’ articles are posted
 
here he is
back again to see if we still hate the fauj.

yup, we still do hate you from the very core of our souls.

you can now hop on back, and report your findings to your CO.
 
Aik zamana tha hamaray ghar main Green Book ati thi. It was a thick book with a hard cover.

It had tales of the generals in the army, about operational matters, about exercises (There was a section about Zarb e Momin in one), and so on and so forth. It had langar gup, it had information about weapons systems.

Aur ab Hilal magazine par retired Brigadier beth kar hamain agriculture kay fazayel bata rahay hain.

How the might have fallen.

Just kidding people. LIMS is gonna propel us to the 30th century!

USA watch out, Pak Fauj is coming for you baby! Hide your land, hide your agriculture, you've never seen anything like it.
 
Too much fertilizer and pesticides will ruin the land. Water should be used at a minimum. Should conduct study on starting Organic Agriculture which requires little or no fertilizer and pesticides. The soil is living. We have to safeguard it and help it grow biologically with earth worms and nitrogen supplying crops. Multi-cropping is done in Organic Agriculture which protects against any one crop failing. It is combined with animal husbandry which yields gobar and urine of cows and buffaloes that is used in agriculture and generating heat. Similarly, chicken are raised and ducks are raised along-with rice to take care of weeds and insects. It would be better to create small plot sizes of ten acres each with integrated organic agriculture. There are Chinese and Australian experts of land reclamation for organic agriculture and getting greenery back from deserts.



Plus yields of Organic Agriculture can be exported at a premium.
