پروفیسر حا فظ محمود خان شیرانی

پروفیسر حافظ محمود خان شیرانی مرحوم
ہم کو ابھی تک اپنے ملک کے علماء اور محققین کی پوری قدر نہیں ہوئی، کیسے افسوس کی بات ہے کہ ہماری قوم اور ملک کے ایک نامور محقق پروفیسر حافظ محمود خان شیرانی کا انتقال ۱۶؍ فروری ۱۹۴۶؁ء کو ٹونک میں ہوگیا، اور ہم میں سے بہتوں کو اس کی خبر نہیں ہوئی۔
شیرانی مرحوم کا وطن ٹونک تھا، شیرانی پٹھان تھے، اور ان کو اپنے پٹھان ہونے پر فخر تھا، ٹونک ہمیشہ سے علماء اور محققین کا مقام رہا، وہاں کا نادر کتب خانہ اکثر محققوں کو اپنی طرف کھینچ کر لے جایا کرتا ہے، اور شیرانی کا تو وہ وطن ہی تھا، شیرانی صاحب کی انگریزی کی استعداد پوری تھی، فارسی کی تعلیم متوسط اور عربی کی معمولی مگر ان میں تحقیق و تلاش کا مادہ فطرۃً تھا، تاریخ اور خصوصاً تاریخ ادب سے ان کو بے حد شغف تھا، تاریخ کے ذوق سے ان کو کتبوں اور سکون کا شوق تھا، اسی شوق سے وہ لکھنؤ بھی آتے تھے، اور چونکہ ہمارے مدرسہ دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء کے درس اول و شیخ الحدیث مولانا حیدر حسن خان صاحب مرحوم بھی ٹونکی تھے، اس تعلق سے وہ کبھی کبھی ہمارے مدرسہ میں بھی ٹھہرتے تھے اور اسی واسطہ سے میری ان کی ملاقات ہوئی، اور اس کے بعد جب وہ لاہور تھے، تو کئی بار ملنا ہوا۔
مرحوم کا سال پیدایش ۱۲۹۸؁ھ ہے، عمر قریباً سرسٹھ برس تھی ۱۹۰۴؁ء میں اسکول کی تعلیم چھوڑ کر بیرسٹری کے لیے لندن گئے، جہاں سے والد کی وفات پر ۱۹۰۶؁ء میں واپس آئے، پھر فوراً واپس گئے، اور ۱۹۱۴؁ء میں واپس آئے، بیرسٹرتو نہیں ہوئے، مگر قلمی کتابوں کا شوق پید اہوگیا، پیرس کے قومی کتب خانہ میں تین ماہ مصروف رہے، اور وہیں بعض فرانسیسی اہل علم کے ساتھ مل کر...

Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment of Development Projects in Punjab, Pakistan

Evaluating the effectiveness of public participation in terms of its influence on EIA related decisions has been increasingly suggested in the literature. In Pakistan, public is involved during EIA of projects likely to cause adverse environmental and socio- economic impacts. Empirical evidence to establish the extent to which it is achieving its objectives of making widely acceptable decisions and promoting sustainable development in the country is scant. This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of public participation in EIA in the Punjab province by adopting a pragmatic combination of qualitative and quantitative research strategy. The methodology involved reviewing the literature, developing an evaluation framework incorporating the country context, investigating four EIA cases of transport infrastructure and industrial development projects through content analysis of related documents, and in-depth interviews of the stakeholders. Several inadequacies and prospects are discovered. EIA and Public participation are not integrated into project planning cycle due to a legal lacuna of requiring EIA before start of construction rather than before procurement of site and detailed design. The case studies demonstrated a weak influence of public concerns on decisions, since consultations were held after taking irreversible decisions. Lack of information about participation opportunities, poor accessibility and quality of EIA reports, lack of communication and transparency in the decision making process were some of the other barriers, which also exist elsewhere even in well established EIA regimes. Provision of an egalitarian environment during public hearings, sufficient time for submitting concerns, and a high degree of willingness and availability of public to participate were some of the attributes in contrast with what the literature generally suggests. Furthermore, this study revealed that involving technical experts and NGOs can influence more positively on the public hearing outcome than the directly affected public. Thus, the theoretical connotations of public participation in EIA may not be generalized and there is a need to revisit the theory, particularly in the context of developing countries. Overall, it is concluded that despite certain impediments public participation in EIA is gradually gaining ground in Pakistan. Useful recommendations have been made to enhance the effectiveness of EIA. In particular, a new model for proactive but represented public participation has been suggested to take place before EIA and selection of site for a development project.
