RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Kasur Mawakhat Program

The Kasur Mawakhat Program (KMP) was a participatory rural development program that mobilized local communities to lead their development projects in their villages.

The project was successfully completed (2014 – 2018) in Union Council Marali, District Kasur, where villages were converted to model villages and many acres of barren, saline and water-logged soil was reclaimed and made cultivable.
