CHAPTER # 1
INTRODUCTION TO
NANKANA SAHIB
Ch. 1 Introduction to Nankana Sahib 2|Page
1.1. Location
Nankana Sahib is a city and the capital of Nankana Sahib District in the Punjab province
of Pakistan. It is named after the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak, who was born in
the city and first began preaching here. Today, it is a city of high historic and religious
value and a popular pilgrimage site for Sikhs from all over the world.
It is situated on the corner of Nankana Sahib Tehsil at about a distance of 34 kilometers
from Sheikhupura, the district head quarter. It is about 91 km (57 mi) west of Lahore and
about 75 km (47 mi) east of Faisalabad; and at 31.45 latitude and 73.70 longitude. It is
situated at an elevation of 194 meters above sea level. The city has a population of
approximately 70,000. The total area of Nankana Sahib is 2,960 km 2 which makes it the
74th largest city in Punjab.
Nankana operates in the Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) zone which is 5 hours ahead of
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); and is the standard time zone followed all over
Pakistan.
Sikh and Buddhism religions as a think-tank for the proposed university (please put its
references from where it has been taken).
According to Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, to facilitate Sikh pilgrims
and yatrees (visitors) adequately in future, development of a good standard resort is also
in process at Nankana Sahib(join this and next paragraph).
Approximately 40 per cent of world tourism revenues are linked to religious tourism and
this is a market with tremendous potential that Pakistan has hardly started to develop.
According to the study, if the security situation improves significantly, the number of
tourists can exceed 300,000 per year and its economic impact will then increase from $5
million to an estimated $300 million. 1

Nankana Sahib is a sacred place for the Sikh community. 2 The township was founded by
Rai Bhoi, a rich landlord Rajput Muslim and thus was known as Rai-Bhoi-Di-Talwandi.
It is named after the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism
who was born here in 1469. Guru Nanak passed his whole childhood and young age in
Nankana Sahib.
The Gurdwara (the Sikh place of worship) Nankana Sahib, originally constructed in
around 1600 A.D. was renovated in 1819–20 A.D. by Gian-Punjab Maharaja Jassa Singh
Ramgarhia. During the Akali or the Gurdwara Reform Movement (a campaign to bring
reform in the gurdwaras in India during the early 1920s), on 20 February 1921, Narayan
Das, the Mahant (a religious superior, in particular the chief priest of a temple or the head
of a monastery) of the gurdwara at Nankana Sahib, ordered his men to fire on Akali
protesters, leading to the Nankana Massacre. The firing was widely condemned, and an
agitation was launched until the control of the historic Janam Asthan Gurdwara was
restored to the Sikhs.
In the 1930s and 40's, more buildings and architectural design was also added. Nankana
Sahib and its surroundings were formerly a tehsil of Sheikhupura District. In May 2005,
the provincial government raised the status of Nankana Sahib to a district as a way of
promoting development in the area.

1.6. Limitations
The following are some of the limitations that were confronted by the students during
master plan preparation of Nankana Sahib;
Time limitation was levied by the university. Therefore, precise research work
had to be carried out and accomplished within the specified time.
Field surveys carried out related to master planning were limited due to security
and safety issues in the city.
Primary data for master planning needs to be gathered through surveys. Data
collection by researchers for the master planning of Nankana Sahib was subject to
above mentioned issues. Therefore, master plan lacks current and updated data of
Nankana Sahib and the data was majorly obtained from secondary sources (ODP
Nankana Sahib, books, journals, articles, publications and reports etc.) and
minorly from primary sources including surveys which comprise the housing,
commercial, recreational etc. aspects of master planning.

present source of water supply is still through tube wells/wells. It is proposed that a
comprehensive Master Plan for water supply be prepared to provide portable water to all
inhabitants of the city in a systematic manner. The Katchi Abadis and the slums require
special attention as they are facing many problems so far as the provision of water supply
is concerned.
2.7.2. Sewerage
According to Agroville development program Nankana Sahib 1980-1995, mostly open
drains are used for waste water collection. The central part of city has pucca drains but
the Katchi Abadis like Shad Bagh Colony and Magha Mundi town have katchi zig zag
channels, creating very unhygienic conditions. Katchi Abadis require special attention as
the problem has reached to an alarming stage with the passage of time. The sewerage
scheme for the city was started in May 1977, but the work of laying trunk sewers has not
yet been completed. It is recommended that this scheme should be completed as early as
possible.
The condition in the Katchi Abadis and slum areas are very serious as unhygienic
conditions are prevailing there at present. Special attention for the improvement of waste
water disposal arrangements is required for all such areas of the city.
At present there are 24 big and small ponds covering an area of 88 acres of land and
scattered throughout the city. These ponds are a great nuisance for the local population as
they are very insanitary. The complete elimination of these ponds is proposed in
accordance with a phased programme. Furthermore, proper disposal points for the
disposal of waste water should be constructed after conducting detailed feasibility studies
by the concerned authorities.
2.7.4. Transport
The present transportation system of the town is far from being satisfactory. The poorly
maintained roads, level crossings, non-motorized traffic and encroachment all are
adversely affecting the existing road network. All these factors have been given thorough
consideration while making proposals. The Road Transport System can be divided into
two major categories.
Intercity Roads
Intracity Roads
The total area of the railway station is 110 acres.
The refuse collected can also be used for filling up the small ponds which have
already been proposed to be eliminated in accordance with a phased programme.
CHAPTER # 3
ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE
OF NANKANA SAHIB
Ch. 3 Environmental Profile of Nankana Sahib 28 | P a g e
3.4.5. Air
The air in and around Nankana Sahib is quite polluted. Major source of air pollution in
Nankana Sahib are rice mills and brick kilns for the dwellers. Industries have been
discharging gases directly in the air without any purification which has been destroying
the crops and human health. People are facing many diseases due to air pollution like
lung diseases, throat diseases and other respiratory infections.
Nankana Sahib has a total of 151 industries; including chemical, straw board, cold
storage, flour mills, food products, industrial machinery, power generation, rice mills,
soap and detergents, sugar, textile spinning and textile weaving.
Rice mills have the largest contribution in pollution. Hundreds of people have also staged
a demonstration against the rice mills for causing environmental pollution at Ladoana
Village. The Environment Protection Department has taken strong action regarding
functioning of brick kilns to counter the effects of smog in the area. Any brick kiln using
substandard fuel will not be allowed to operate. However, brick kilns on zigzag
technology are allowed operations.
Ch. 3 Environmental Profile of Nankana Sahib 31 | P a g e
After the field survey of Nankana Sahib City, it is suggested that Government should
push brick kiln owners to shift to cleaner technologies. Strong actions should be taken
against kiln operators for using dirty technologies. Government should also set higher
emission standards for vehicles. Traffic congestion should be managed/resolved by the
Authority. Plantation should be encouraged along roads especially main roads or areas of
high activities to mitigate the effects of pollution due to traffic jams.
3.4.6. Industrialization
Industry, which can be very fundamental in establishing, boosting, and enlivening the
city, matters a lot for a new urban area and even a city. In Nankana Sahib, industrial
development is mostly taking place in a haphazard manner, mainly along Mangtanwala
Road. The present strength of industrial workers is only 0.26% to the total population of
the city. It is assumed that the rate of industrial workers’ participation would increase at
least 5% during the plan period (ODP Nankana Sahib). An industrial estate measuring an
area of about 40 acres’ land is proposed on Mangtanwala road for the establishment of
industry in a planned and systematic manner.
There are about 151 large, medium and some small industrial units in the district.
Industry-wise installed capacity of major industrial units is given in the table;
3.5. Conclusion
Nankana Sahib is facing serious environmental issues regarding solid waste and open
drainage, which requires serious attention at all levels. Air pollution is also major issue of
that area, production of rice and establishment of brick kilns is the reason of economic
development but also the cause of air pollution. Industrial development is also taking
place in haphazard manner. Suggestions have been provided for government to push
brick kiln owners to shift to cleaner technologies and for setting higher emission
standards for vehicles and kilns to control air pollution. TMA must also establish a proper
channel for final solid waste disposal. Options for final disposal including composting for
organic materials, regional based incinerators or regional land filling option must also be
explored.

hand pumps and wells but still there is need of further extension of the existing municipal
water supply system.
Presently, 1006 domestic connections are there in the central part of the city. The public
health engineering department has embarked upon extension programs keeping in view
the increasing water requirement of the city.
An urban water supply scheme for Nankana Sahib is an approved on-going project(by
which department) having a cost of 214.373 million with the aim to identify the problems
and constraints hindering the supply of safe drinking water to the community by this
water supply scheme.
Other aspects covered by the project include:
Water supply source and its quality;
Existing layout of the scheme;
Water quality situation at source, specific locations in the delivery system and
consumers’ end;
Present practices of water treatment;
Adequacy of the system;
Future water requirement;
Identification of problems in the distribution network.
This Scheme will analyze the problems confronted and recommend solutions and
remedial measures ultimately to ensure the delivery of safe drinking water to the
community of Nankana Sahib.

Such incentives could be in the form of tax holiday facilities, easy loan facilities,
availability of developed sites for industrial development etc.
Keeping all important aspects in view, medium and light industry is proposed to be
developed.
A list of proposed industry, having some potential in the area is given as under;
Rice is the main produced crop in Nankana Sahib according to district wise report 2011-
12. Nankana Sahib produces 175 tons of rice that is second highest after Hafizabad in
Punjab.
Improvement of rice quality as well as increase in productivity is a major challenge for
the development of rice production.
In addition to the above, a small milk plant is also proposed at More Khunda. The main
reason of selecting More Khunda for the purpose is its central location and high
accessibility from all parts of the area.
The dimension of basic module for single plot is 25*50m. For Nankana Sahib, an
establishment of double module plot 80*50m is required according to its
population.
6.2.1. NRM Standards & Calculations for Parks & Open Spaces
At gross urban area, densities around 30 persons/acre (which are common in cities of the
country), the National Reference Manual (NRM) implies 18% of the land should be
reserved for planned open spaces; while at 20 persons/acre (ppa.) it implies 12%.
As the total existing open spaces have not been identified yet. Therefore, the total said
area required for recreational facilities will be encountered.
6.2.2. Proposals
For neighborhood of around 25000 persons, provision of a combined playfield for
teenagers on 1.63 ha.
The playfield should have temporary/multiple markings so that it can be used for
different games.
For neighborhood of around 25000 persons, provision of amusement parks on
0.13 ha.
These parks should be located within convenient walking distance for children.

This will be made possible by the support of the government and in case of
Nankana Sahib, TMA’s, which will collaborate in raising awareness among
people.
The next step will be the identifying the total women population in Nankana
Sahib and then segregating the population i.e. the population of the old city and
the new city.
Then comes the planning of the location and designing of the technical institutes,
the planners and technical staff. This will be the planning and designing stage of
the institutes.
Mostly the technical institutes will be located near residential areas, so it would be
easier for all women to come and they do not have to travel long distances every
day. While others will be in the commercial area as some of the commercials
areas are closer to residential areas.
Next will be the functioning of the institutes in order to get financial and
economic benefits. The hiring of the technical staff, making of the plan of
educating the women with technical skills in a rightful way.
As a result of this women will be considered equally important as men in the
economic and social development of the city. Also, the women will develop self-
confidence and will be able to life an independent and different life.
6.4.3. Conclusion
As no country can develop by ignoring its women so it is essential for every country to
make reasonable arrangements for its women to become empowered in different cities
and towns of the country. Special programs must also be arranged for this purpose.
By considering its importance, we have proposed institutes on different locations by
considering ease of accessibility for women and with the aim of making women of this
city empowered as well.
By making women skilled, we can have strong alliances with other countries and we will
be on our path to development. Each region in a country has its own specialty and skillful
labor is the only way to use our assets wisely.

7.1. Introduction
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were born at the United Nations Conference
on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The objective was to produce a
set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political and economic
challenges facing our world. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise
known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the
planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
These 17 goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while
including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable
consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected
which are often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly
associated with another.
The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices
now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. They provide clear
guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities
and the environmental challenges of the world at large. The SDGs are an inclusive
agenda. They tackle the root causes of poverty and unite us together to make a positive
change for both people and planet. “Poverty eradication is at the heart of the 2030
Agenda, and so is the commitment to leave no-one behind,” UNDP Administrator Achim
Steiner said. “The Agenda offers a unique opportunity to put the whole world on a more
prosperous and sustainable development path. In many ways, it reflects what UNDP was
created for.” Each target has between 1 and 3 indicators used to measure progress toward
reaching the targets. In total, there are 304 indicators that will measure compliance.
The United Nations Development Program has been asked to provide easy to understand
lists of targets and facts and figures for each of the 17 SDGs. The 17 SDGs are as
follows;
1. Goal 1: No Poverty
Ch. 7 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 191 | P a g e
2. By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the
vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic
services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property,
inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services,
including microfinance.
3. By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and
reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and
other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.

through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and
predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed
countries, to implement programs and policies to end poverty in all its
dimensions.
5. Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels,
based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support
accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.
6. There ought to be value control in market with the goal that the salesmen do not
only make up their own.
7. 50 employees per acre are required in order to eradicate poverty and
unemployment.
“End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture.”
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right, agriculture,
forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes,
while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting the environment.
managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and
international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of
benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional
knowledge, as internationally agreed.
6. Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in
rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology
development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to enhance agricultural
productive capacity in developing countries, in particular least developed

markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural
export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance
with the mandate of the Doha Development Round.
8. Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and
their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on
food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
5. Research centers for rice and its production might be developed. Since Nankana
has one of the most significant rice productions in the region, the research will
help in the growth of economy.
6. Rice export should also be increased by good publicity. This can be accomplished
by the research centers’ formation as mentioned above.
“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to
sustainable development. Significant strides have been made in increasing life
expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal
mortality. Major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and
sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However,
many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address
many different persistent and emerging health issues.

7.4.2. Policies for Nankana Sahib to Ensure Good Health & Well Being
1. Number of maternal deaths are not as such reported in the city in light of the fact
that huge numbers of the ladies don't have national identity cards. Larger part of
individuals lean toward treatment at home as female staff isn't accessible enough
in the city. Surveys can be conducted as such to evaluate the number of people
Ch. 7 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 197 | P a g e
who do not have identity cards. Further, female professional education should be
encouraged.
2. Street mishaps have been significantly observed on fundamental main roads

Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and
sustainable development. Major progress has been made towards increasing access to
education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly for women
and girls. Basic literacy skills have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed
to make even greater strides for achieving universal education goals. For example, the
world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few
countries have achieved that target at all levels of education.

CHAPTER # 9
PROPOSED
RECOMMENDATIONS
Ch. 9 Proposed Recommendations 232 | P a g e
9.1. Transportation
1. In commercial areas, main roads should be wide and two-way with two or three lanes
both. Further, there should be provision of adequate parking facilities in the vicinity
of those commercial areas. This can help in reducing the issue of traffic congestion.
2. An Asset Management Plan for the city’s road sector should be prepared and planned
rehabilitation of roads that have outlived their design life should also be undertaken.
3. Many problems are being generated due to road encroachments such as traffic
congestion etc. The concerned authority should take proper actions against these.
4. The road network of Nankana Sahib is satisfactory. Though it may be damaged if its
proper maintenance is not undertaken. Therefore, it is recommended that on-street
parking and mainly the road encroachments should be controlled before the problem
gets worse.
5. No proper footpaths have been provided on any major roads except along Railway
Road and that too, is not in a good condition due to poor maintenance. People are
seen walking along the right of ways’ of the roads causing intermixture of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic. Therefore, it is recommended that proper footpaths should be
provided along major roads for efficient flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic both
and also for avoidance of road accidents.
Similarly, ribbon type of commercial development is also seen along roads that is
undesirable as it causes traffic congestion. This can be minimized by restrictions and
controls as well as proper planning of commercial areas. Introduction of traffic
calming techniques might also be helpful in this case in Nankana Sahib.
Ch. 9 Proposed Recommendations 233 | P a g e
9.4. Recreation
12. Recreational areas i.e. parks, should be properly maintained and the effective
provision of infrastructure including proper sitting arrangement, toilet facilities,
lighting and drainage facilities should be ensured. Aesthetics should be improved
through focus on flora.
Keeping the above said in view, the government should take some strict action in this
regard and provide remaining funds to the authority so that this project can be
completed at the earliest.
hotels and resorts closer to the gurdwaras, Nankana Sahib can become a very
important tourist base, contributing effectively to the economy of the country.
In contrast, a new awareness of several negative impacts, especially on the
environment have also been observed with religious tourism. The only need is for
better planning measures and fresh ideas to cope up with these adverse effects and
guide growth in a more channeled way.
