Foreword

It is a matter of great satisfaction for us that Planning & Development Department has been able
to publish AJK at a Glance 2014. It provides important statistics in respects of socio-economic
conditions of the State. These statistics would be useful for policy makers, planners, researchers and
other users of socio-economic data in public as well as private sector.

Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K) is blessed with abundant natural resources i.e. water,
minerals, forests, places of tourist attractions and above all the dynamic educated youth. The
development vision of the Government of AJ&K reflects the aspirations of the people and firm resolve
of the government to ameliorate the socio-economic conditions in the State. The people of AJ&K
acknowledge with thanks the generous and continued support extended by the Government of Pakistan
despite prevalent resource constraints and energy crises in the country.

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the officers of Planning & Development
Department who contributed towards compilation of this document and deserve appreciation for
rendering valuable efforts in producing this quality document.

I am thankful to all nation building departments of GoAJ&K for providing us the required data
as without their co-operation it would have not been possible to publish this document in time.

For convenience and easy accessibility to larger users of the data, the publication has been
available on the official website of Planning & Development Department www.pndajk.gov.pk

I look forward to further improvement of this publication in coming years and welcome any
suggestion in this regard.

PROFILE OF AJK REGION

Geographical and Socio-Economic conditions:

Topography
The state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir lies between longitude 73o 75o and latitude 33o 36o and
comprises an area of 5134 square miles (13,297 square kilometers). AJK falls within the Himalayan
orogenic belt. As such, its topography is mainly hilly and mountainous characterized by deep ravines,
rugged, and undulating terrain. The northern districts (Neelum, Muzaffarabad, Hattian, Bagh, Haveli,
Poonch, and Sudhnoti) are generally mountainous while southern districts (Kotli, Mirpur, and Bhimber)
are relatively plain. The mountain ecosystems are relatively unstable and have low inherent
productivity. Within this fragile environment, however, there is a great variety of ecological niches
upon which people base their livelihood. Small land holdings and scarcity of cultivable land are the
main factors limiting on-far income. The area is full of natural beauty with thick forest, fast flowing
rivers and winding streams. Main rivers are Jhelum, Neelum and Poonch.
Climate
Depending on the altitude that varies from 360 meters in the south to 6325 meters in the north, AJK has
a wide range of climatic conditions. The south has dry sub-tropical climate while the north most moist
temperate. There is significant variation in the rainfall pattern across different regions both in terms of
amount and distribution. Average annual rainfall ranges from 1000 mm to 2000 mm. In the northern
district 30% to 60% precipitation is in the shape of snow. In winter snow line is around 1200 meters
while in summer it is 3300 meters. Average maximum temperature ranges from 20C to 32C while the
average minimum temperature range is 04Cto 07C
Soil
Based on the location, the soil in AJK can be broadly grouped into 03 categories:
Soil of mountain plateau is generally leached and relatively infertile.
Soil of mountain slopes is gravelly loam, shallow and deficient in organic matter.
Soil of inter-mountainous valleys is alluvial with a high agricultural potential.

Regional Variations

The terrain, resources and socio-economic conditions vary across different regions. Muzaffarabad
Division, the largest division is less accessible and the poorest, especially the northern part of District
Neelum valley. As one moves south from Muzaffarabad towards Bagh, then Poonch, Sudhnoti and
Kotli, the valley widens up and agricultural production increases. The area is more accessible,
especially from Pakistan. The border area with India remains a restricted zone; otherwise life carries on
as usual. Kotli is partially hilly, and Bhimber and Mirpur further south are plains and are similar to
agricultural regions of northern Punjab. Settlement size is larger here and rich in agricultural
production.

Languages

Urdu is the official language of Azad Kashmir but is spoken by only a minority of people. Other
languages are Gojri, Kashmiri and Pahari. The dominant language spoken in the state is Pahari, which
is very similar to Pothwari and Hindko.

Economic Development

At the time of partition in 1947, the economy of Azad Jammu and Kashmir was on sustenance level but
the determination to develop the area was there. In early 70s, economic development of the area
started in earnest. Despite financial constraints, planners made good efforts in laying down a proper
path for the rapid development of the area.

Per Capita Income and Employment:-

The majority of the rural population depends on forestry, livestock, agriculture and non-formal
employment to eke out its subsistence. National average per capita income has been estimated to be
1512 US$* and according to Labour Force Survey (LFS) unemployment rate is 14.4%**. In line with
the National trends, indicators of social sector particularly health and population have not shown much
proficiency. Efforts have been made during the recent past to make up this deficiency so that the fruits
of development can be brought to the door step of every common man.

Airports
The Government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority of
Pakistan has constructed two small airports in Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot cities in order to provide easy and
fast mode of travel (Flights presently suspended).About 1.5 million People belonging to AJ&K are living
abroad, hence; there is dire need for construction of international airports in AJ&K. Therefore, Mirpur airport
will be constructed in collaboration with Civil Aviation Authority GoP.

 POWER 2014

At present, the installed Grid capacity is 677.3 MVA. About 25861 km transmission lines have been
extended to 1670 villages out of a total of 1771 villages and about 4.267 million population have been provided
with electricity supply. The per capita electricity consumption is 353 KWH and within next two years 100%
population of AJK is planned to be provided with power connections. The Government lays great emphasis on
generating electricity in order to meet the growing domestic as well as industrial requirements. It has been
planned to launch a comprehensive programme for construction of Hydro power stations to exploit this vast
potential.

 HYDRO POWER GENERATION

Up to 1973-74, electricity facility was available to few villages of District Muzaffarabad & Mirpur. In 1973-74,
a phased program was planned to provide electricity to urban & rural population, which is being continued.
Under this program, several schemes have been implemented through which electricity distribution network has
been expanded up to 91% population of rural areas of AJ&K. Approximately 537606 service connections have
been provided under this program.

AJ&K has a potential of generation of 8830.820 MW of electricity using its natural resources.

 AGRICULTURE 2014

Area under cultivation is around 194260 hectares, which is almost 13% of the total Geographical area out of
which 92% of the cultivable area is rain-fed. About 87% households have very small land holdings between
one to two acres. Major crops are Maize, Wheat & Rice whereas minor crops are Grams, Pulses (red kidney
beans), Vegetables and Oil-seeds. Major fruits produced in AJK are Apple, Pears, Apricot and Walnuts.
Agriculture and livestock income ranges between 30-40% of household earnings. The remaining share comes
from other sources including employment, businesses and remittances received by the families of AJ&K living
abroad. Reduced agriculture productivity has adversely affected the traditional lifestyle and per capita income
of the rural households.

Department. The per capita standing volume is 299.5 Cft and per capita forest area is 0.35 Acre. Annual wood
demand is 1.65 million cubic meters and sustainable production is 1.94 million cubic meters. The local
communities have traditional rights in terms of use of the forests and on an average three trees are burnt by one
household every year for the fuel-wood requirements in the absence of alternate sources. Similarly, about 5
trees on average are required to construct a house for which the wood roofs have to be replaced after every 8-10
years.

 INDUSTRIES & MINERALS 2014
Investment Opportunities in Azad Kashmir
The State of Azad Jammu & Kashmir by virtue of its topography, meteorology, hydrology & administrative
setup provides huge opportunities of investment in various sectors. Keeping in view the investment potential in
AJK the Government is encouraging investment in the following sectors:-
Industrial Investment
The Government has adopted the Industrial policy of Federal Govt. according to which all types of industries
are allowed to be established in the territory of AJK except Arms & Ammunition, Security printing, Explosive
material and Radioactive material.
In order to accelerate the pace of development, the department of Industries has established 6 Industrial Estates
in various districts of Azad Kashmir with basic infrastructure like roads, water supply, and sewerage system and
telephone & electricity facilities. The number of medium & large scale Industries which have already been
established in different districts of Azad Kashmir is 1970.
In view of the localized requirement of AJK, there is huge potential for Industries like Food, Hydro power
generation, Ready made garments, furniture and plastic products in the area.
In order to boost the Industrial Production in AJK, the Govt. is providing incentives to the
Industrialists including concession in different taxes and providing energy on cheaper rates for first five years to
run the Industries. It will be advisable that detailed feasibility of industrial products must be carried out for
making final decisions of investment.

o ROADS/TRANSPORTS: The earthquake caused severe damage to the transport system in the affected
areas of AJ&K. It is estimated that 2551 Km of roads were partially or fully damaged in AJ&K. The
poor state of roads is one of the largest challenges facing Reconstruction Programme. Transport sector
strategy for reconstruction & rehabilitation has been finalized and approved by the competent forum.

o TELECOMMUNICATION: In the telecommunication sector, the key organizations in the earthquake

affected areas are mainly PTCL and SCO. Telecommunication sector has been finalized and approved
by the ERRA Council.

o SOCIAL PROTECTION: Although the entire population affected by the earthquake is vulnerable, the
social protection program focused specifically on the groups which are at the greatest risk. Social
protection strategy for reconstruction & rehabilitation has been finalized.

o ENVIRONMENT: The most visible affect of the earthquake had on the environment, is the land-
shearing, liquefaction, and slides that occurred as a consequence of the earthquake. The earthquake
destroyed water channels; resulted in the siltation of some rivers and streams; deteriorated forest
resources; caused massive destruction to farm lands, especially terraced land situated on steep terrain;
and destroyed many fish farms. The disposal of massive amounts of debris from fallen structures is a
significant environmental challenge.

o TOURISM SECTOR: The vast majority of hotels and other tourist infrastructure were destroyed by the
earthquake. A policy approach for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the tourism sector is yet to be
formulated.

o Urban Development: Master Plan for 3 cities (Muzaffarabad, Bagh & Rawalakot) prepared. City
Development Projects for these three cities costing Rs. 21.136 billion, 7349.76 million and 8202.60
million respectively are approved. Moreover, natural gas has also been announced to be provided to
these three cities as a part of Reconstruction Program.
