(ICH) is expressed through the progression, expressions, knowledge and skills they represent and the associated objects and cultural spaces that people differentiate as a component of their cultural heritage that they describe through the generations and are regularly rebuilt, ensures that humanity is the simplest form of identity and continuity. Intangible cultural heritage is vital for the existence and development of society. Pakistan is a country with a culture of Indus Valley civilization of over six thousand years. All provinces of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have their own distinct cultures and traditions. This rich intangible culture is in an exceptionally very fragile state and must be lost due to various internal and external factors and will be preserved and promoted. This article presents some phenomena and intangi...

It has changed the environment of Information. Higher education had a trend of non-adoption of technologies. However since the last few decades this trend has changed since almost every educational institution of higher learning uses electronic information sources for study, teaching and research. The present study is an attempt to analyze the use of Electronic Information Sources (EIS) by the faculty members of University of Peshawar, Pakistan and to find out their EIS preferences, EIS use experience, e-journal use experiences and preferences. The study is a descriptive survey designed to obtain data which described available trends in the use of electronic information sources by faculty members in the University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. A self-constructed questionnaire was administered to a sample of 285 faculty members wor...

The conclusions of the current study have determined that the Television agricultural shows (TVAS) were from the greatest agricultural information sources for the farmers of rural areas. Also, television shows have witnessed bearing the effect on the farmers in the spread and transfer agricultural knowledge in Sindh.

The study is a descriptive survey designed to obtain data which described available trends in the use of electronic information sources by faculty members in the University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. A self-constructed questionnaire was administered to a sample of 285 faculty members working in the University of Peshawar. Two hundred and thirty five (235) questionnaires were returned back dully filled in with a response rate of 82.45%. Using SPSS-19, the data was analyzed using descriptive feature of statistical analysis. Cross tables were drawn to analyze whether faculty members' electronic source preferences varied by designation, gender, age and number of publications in the last five years. Results of the study showed that Lecturers followed by Assistant Professors used EIS more than Associate Professors and Professors. Thus increased age and academic designation meant decreased frequency of EIS use. Those who had more publications to their names in the last five years were more experienced in using EIS than those who had few. It was observed that EIS use experience of the respondents was moderate and significant. One of the major findings of the study was that majority of the faculty members preferred e-journals than print journals. The study revealed that faculty members use EIS quite often. EIS has become a significant information assent for faculty members in the present world of information explosion. It can impact positively on educational development in Pakistan if they are used in a proper way. ________________________

How many research scholars does it produce annually? How much is it careful towards checks and balances in the ways the students come through? How much is it looking after the policies, planning and quality of education it promotes to students at a greater extent? These are the questions that if a university does not give someone a chance to ask it, definitely it is, then, such a type of university that is tied in the thread of top ranked universities across the globe. Now, at global level, universities are highly batting their eyelid at research segment to stand frequently within the top ranked universities. But "standing front of all" is a challenging game which is out of someone's hands. Every country has its own policies and strategies of offering higher education to their youth. Conflation of the factors like economy, society, culture, rules and regulations, government policies, infrastructure, serving people, employee range and balanced budget distribution differentiate the countries in providing higher education. Backwardness and forwardness among the nations in terms of research range depends on these aforementioned factors. If the above factors in a country are faulty then, without an iota of doubt one can argue it backward in making education research based and qualitative one too. Quality of education undoubtedly relies upon research standard. Thousands of universities around the globe have, now, been providing youth with higher education for a good length of time. But more or less relies on their policies and many other factors like infrastructure, teaching faculty, and budgetary system and accommodation facilities. To a university, less the issues it has
