The subjects taught include Persian, child training, home economics, cooking and embroidery.\n\nLOGAR PROJECT\n\nI Education.\n\nTwo village schools have been opened, one in Ab Bazak and the other at Shahi, in Kulangar.\n\nA Shewaki farmer busy harvesting his field with his new scythe\n\nmethods of cultivation. The farmers have also been shown various films and given information on such matters as pruning and protecting young trees and saplings from the cold, irrigation, and protection against plant disease.\n\nConsideration has been given to the keeping of honey bees, and Japanese mulberry trees have been introduced.\n\nIII Health.\n\nHealth activities in the Project have continued as before. Doctors, nurses and other health attendants have kept in close touch and co-operated with the people. Treatment has been given in all cases, including dental complaints. Some 74,369 people benefited from such treatment in the first six months of the third year of the Plan. More than 200,000 were vaccinated against smallpox and 9,342 new-born children were registered in the Development Project Area.\n\nIV Women's Welfare Centre.\n\nThirty-one students have been given training in the Welfare Centre under the\n\nII Agriculture.\n\nSeveral farmers have been encouraged to sow a total of 2,051 seres (1 sere=16 lbs.) of a new kind of wheat on their lands. In 11 gardens a programme of pruning has been put into action, and lectures have been given to farmers on pruning and orchard tending. Some 16,871 animals have been treated for, or protected against, disease.\n\nSeveral thousand trees (apples, mulberries, apricots and others) have been pruned while the orchard owners were on hand to see and appreciate the methods. Several thousand new saplings and trees have been planted.\n\nIII Health.\n\nIn the comparatively short time since its establishment the Development Project of Logar has received wide acclaim in the community and especially for its health section. Most common among the diseases treated have been those of the eye, contagious diseases being very small in number. Several thousand children have been inoculated against smallpox, while protection against typhoid has been given to the various villages in the unit by the spraying of D.D.T. In the Women's Welfare Section training has been given in embroidery and cookery, and six girls have also been accepted to train as nurses.\n\n42","chars":2422,"image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/adl-page-images/adl0981/00045.jpg","first_page":1,"last_page":109,"title":"Afghan progress in the third year of the plan","permalink":"https://afghanpress.org/book/adl0981/45","canvas":"https://afghanpress.org/iiif/adl0981/canvas/45","source":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/books/adl0981/","source_pdf":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/pdf/adl0981_download.pdf","rights":{"image":{"statement":"Public domain.
