Ganga
Power House commonly known as Renala Khurd Hydral Power Station is one of the
most popular hydral stations of Pakistan and it is situated on Canal Lower Bari
Doab at Renala Khurd, Distt: Okara, Punjab, Pakistan.
Sir
Ganga Ram had established this Power Station in 1925 to meet the local
requirement of electricity. The five generators that once produced 1.1 megawatt
of power to run the pumping stations designed to lift water into a barren
higher land around this installation. For various reasons, the generators today
produce only 750 kilowatts.
Interestingly,
it was the first Hydropower station in Indian Subcontinent at that time (Present
day Pakistan).
Sir
Ganga Ram (1851–1927), was a civil engineer, agriculturist and leading
philanthropist of his time.

If there is one thing that Pakistan has in abundance is a
population and its young people. According to Unicef, the country has one of
the world’s largest youth. It is worth to say that youth is a powerful and productive
segment of the population.
Pakistani youth in so many fields on several occasions has
proved that it is having a lot of potential. It is not out of place to mention
its potential regarding its capacity in Information Technology (IT). There is a
long list of famous heroes but we can’t ignore unsung heroes in this field. Keeping
in view; our population and resources, we have not reached to that level of
excellence. Still, there is a great
scope and we can produce a pool of skilled manpower ready to work for offshore clients
on internet from their homes. By this act we can beat the monster of unemployment
in this country. There are so many jobs available on the internet. I, think technology
is a pre-requisite for development as such we may appreciate our big segment of
youth to join this field and achieve the target of sustainable development by
means of technology.
You know that facebook has become a mania all over the world
including Pakistan. Technology has evolved rapidly and having expensive and
innovative gadgets is no big deal now. Facebook, internet and mobile phones are
also the fastest means of communication in today’s fast changing world. Networking
through facebook can be a beneficial activity. It is entirely for international
relations, students who can interact with each other about assignments and attend
courses online. It can help in marketing and can generate a lead etc.
Opportunities are always there one ought to avail these to
generate income rather than cursing the time and fellows.

There is a village Thatta Ghulamka Dheroka in Pakistan; It is a few kilometres away from Okara on the
Okara-Faisalabad road.
While going to the village you pass through a town Gogera—a place where Rai
Ahmed Khan Kharral broke the famous British jail during War of Independence of
1857 eventually British Extra Assistant Commissioner (Lord) Berkley was
defeated and killed by the resilient locals.
The unique claim of the village to
international fame is the dolls and toys made by village women that are
collectors delight all over the world. Each
toy is meticulously handcrafted from a scratch by local women, who carefully
paint, embroider and sew together scraps of cloth and wool to shape a
delightful work of art. The dolls project has not only been a regular fixture
in exhibitions and trade shows worldwide, but has also won numerous awards.
Dolls made in the village have traveled to International Dolls Museum in Amsterdam and also have been put on
display in the "Theme-park" at EXPO 2000 in Hanover (Germany) as one
of the 767 worldwide projects. Earlier, the dolls participated in International
Toy Fair in Nuremberg
(Germany). Currently,
the dolls are showcased in museums all around the world, from Japan to Turkey
to Iceland.
These dolls show how culture goes
beyond simple work of art and becomes collaboration among applied and natural
sciences as well as other forces that affect our lives.
