Worldwide COVID-19 epidemic cases are increasing at a very fast rate posing a challenge to psychological resilience, economy and social life of people. In this paper, a well-designed validated questionnaire was used to collect the information from a sample of 400 respondents chosen at random via offline and online modes from Central Kashmir in Kashmir valley. The data collected was analyzed using standard statistical tools. The current study revealed that majority of respondents were not aware of the symptoms, causes and preventions of COVID-19. Majority of the respondents believe that rate of transmission of COVID-19 depends on various factors like age, gender, climatic conditions etc. The respondents reported that they were using family, print and electronic media as a medium to seek health information and status of COVID-19. Most of the respondents were of the opinion that lockdown is a temporary solution as it has resulted in other problems like psychological problems (55.5%), social problems (62.5%), economic problems (59.5%) and academic problems (81.5%). The respondents (66.5%) believed that COVID-19, heart attacks and cold climate are linked to each other. Majority of the respondents were health conscious and they suggested that people should follow WHO and health ministry guidelines to cope with the spread of COVID-19. They believe that we can protect ourselves by washing our hands frequently, avoiding touching our face and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell. It was suggested that to cope with COVID-19 threat, people of Kashmir should follow WHO guidelines and health ministry, involve themselves in physical, religious and social activities.

He solved every individual and collective issue immediately without imposing his opinion on others but presented his views with communication and understanding. He faced criticism against his opinion and did not impose his jurisprudence without understanding. This system was continued during his whole period of regency. This symmetry of his character had given him great value among ummāh. According to shah wāliullah, he had all qualities of Sharī’ah in his thoughts and practice. The administration and jurisprudence of Ḥaḍrat ‘Umar (R.A) are just like prim for Ummah, which exposes to light in a different spectrum.

Education, parenting, food, housing, and atonement are all covered in those steps. They were greatly helped by the companion of the holy prophet SAW. Although everyone participated in these actual actions, unique individuals continued to play a significant role. The Holy Prophet SAW built the Islamic state by utilising the specific skills of these individuals. For instance, Ammar ibn Jamu was a jihadi figure, while Mauz ibn Jaaml was dispatched as the agent of Yman. Abdudullah ibn Makhtoom was chosen as Mouzn (Azan calling man) and teacher along with the deputy Madina Munwwra. Abdur Rahman ibn Auaf's economic and social contributions are readable. In the contemporary age, notable figures like Dr. Tah Hussain, Abdulallah Ibn Baz, and Ahmed Yaseen attained prominence in society despite having physical disabilities and fulfilled their political, social, and educational roles. There is no such state or nation where pe...

It is a self-support less crop having high water contents, which may rot the crop easily. Therefore, to overcome this problem vertical gardening is preferred to increase its production. In vertical gardening plants are elevated from the ground to prevent the pests and insects attack. Beside this all, there are different advantages of vertical farming as it provides increased air circulation, saves a lot of space, less breaking of the vines, larger yield, easy harvesting, less weeding and less soil preparations (Derek, 2011). Cucumber belongs to cucurbitaceae family, known as a vegetable grown in a wide range globally. It is thought to have been native to India and has been grown in Iran and China for 2000 years. And then brought from India into China, North Africa, South Europe and other parts of the World by voyagers and travelers. It was brought into tropical Africa by the Abstract | Diverse genotypes of cucumber under different cropping patterns may signify to examine the potential of best and desired selection for quality crop. The study was carried out to evaluate cucumber genotypes (IT-145, Damaz, Yayla, Eva, Chinese Slanger, Poinsett-76, SCM-01 and SCM-03) under various gardening patterns (Horizontal and Vertical) at Vegetable Directorate, HRI, NARC, Islamabad-Pakistan. It was observed that growth and yield parameters of cucumber were effected by genotypes and gardening patterns significantly. Highest female flowers, number of leaves and fruits plant-1 , leaf area, fruit length, fruit diameter and total yield were observed under vertical gardening pattern. Data recorded for genotypes observed an increase in total yield and fruits plant-1 of Damaz while and increased number of leaves plant-1 , leaf area, fruit diameter and length were observed by SCM-01. The interactive response of genotypes and gardening pattern clearly revealed that Damaz grown under vertical gardening produced highest fruit diameter, fruits and yield plant-1. From the above results it was concluded that cultivar Damaz should be grown under vertical gardening for promising growth and yield of cucumber.

In this context to know the attitude of students towards sports a well-designed questionnaire on three point likert scale was utilized for collection of data from 400 respondents (250 boys and 150 girl students) selected through stratified random sampling technique. Kashmiri people used to take part in games and sports irrespective of their age in order to make full use of their leisure. The general perception of the people is that participation in these games enhances the physical and mental abilities of the participants. The results of the study reveal that traditional games of Kashmir valley are vanishing and older generation alone remembers them. Further, the results of our study reveal that there is link between participation in sports and performance in education and participation in sports improves academic performance. This study also confirms that ...

The state is covered by lofty mountains, which receive heavy rainfall and snow. Dense forests are found everywhere in the state particularly in outer and inner Himalayan ranges. High mountains of Ladakh and Kargil receive a very little rainfall; therefore, these areas are devoid of forest cover. However, vast grass lands and abundant medicinal and aromatic plants grow there. Forest resources are indispensable for human beings and have played the most significant role in the economy of the Jammu and Kashmir state. Plants have been traditionally used for hundreds of years throughout world as a source of medicine by indigenous people of different ethnic groups inhabiting various terrains for the control of various ailments afflicting humans and their domestic animals. Today not only the medicinal plants but also their associated traditional know...

The major objectives were to examine that (i) Internet is not a substitute for the library (ii) to find out the use of internet resources by research scholars working in different institutions of Kashmir valley. The study involved a sample of 150 researchers selected randomly from research institutions SKUAST, Kashmir University, SKIMS and Central University Kashmir. The findings of our study reveal that scholars were not fully satisfied with the internet facilities available in the valley. On the basis of findings, problems faced by scholars are addressed and some suggestions have been made about how the use of Internet among the scholars can be increased. To utilize the resources of Internet to its maximum, it is necessary to make the users well-versed in the surfing and browsi...

The study used a non-experimental research design, over interviewing a total of 400 workers chosen according to convenience of ability to answer the questionnaire in academic institutions of central Kashmir of Kashmir valley. We use five-point Likert scale to measure spirituality, stress and job satisfaction of the respondents.
