 The village of Pakistan which is a model for the whole world

Rasoolpur, a small Pakistani village in northwestern Punjab, can be a model of civilization for the whole world.

With 100% literacy and 0% crime rate, the village celebrates World Education Day every year on September 8 and people congratulate each other as well as appreciate the solid commitment of school teachers for education. Are

Speaking to Anatolia Agency in Turkey, Mehtab Jahan, principal of Government Girls High School in Rasulpur, said: The whole village is a non-smoking zone.

Rasulpur has a population of 2,000 to 3,000 and is mostly inhabited by Ahmadani Baloch, whose ancestors came here from Balochistan in 1933-34.

At that time there was no permanent source of income so education became the only source of livelihood for them.

The village has two high schools and a primary school. After graduating from high school, students head to the nearby Jam Popper City College, 5 to 6 miles from the village.

Mehtab Jahan said, “I have 300 girls in my school and about the same number of students in boys' schools. We just don't believe in the definition of UN education to write our name, everyone here has to complete high school education otherwise they are not allowed to be a part of the society by the elders.

According to the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Survey, the literacy rate in the country in 2019-20 was 60%.

All women are educated and no crime has been committed in the last 100 years

Explaining the social attitudes of the people, Mehtab Jahan highlighted the most important factor in achieving 100% literacy rate.

"All the women in the village are educated here," she said. This shows the importance of women's education. This is the main reason why all children start education as soon as they are 4 to 5 years old.

There is a Rasoolpur Development Society in the village which collects donations for people who cannot afford education. The society also ensures that no one leaves school.

Muhammad Farooq, Assistant Commissioner, Jampur, while talking about the importance of the village, said that Pakistan should be seen in the world.

"This village represents the true picture of Pakistan for the whole world," he said. Together, the people here have made it possible for everyone to have a clean and friendly environment for education and housing.

To maintain the decades-old commitment to education, an annual event is held to encourage children and their parents to honor students who take positions in university-level examinations.

Dilawar Saleem, a resident of Rasoolpur, said, "Encouraging students and telling them success stories of older siblings inspires them to achieve bigger goals."

Not only is 100% literacy the hallmark of this village, but the Model Village police station has not registered a single crime case in the last 100 years, which shows how responsible the people are for each other's rights. There are trees.

According to Dilawar Saleem, “We have a strong network of people-to-people contacts, which came down to us from our ancestors. No one tries to go beyond their limits in maintaining law and order. This is the principle that enabled us to keep the crime rate in our village at zero.
