Open Journal System Launched for JORDA (www.jorda.pk)

Journal of Rural Development & Administration (JORDA), Open Journal System Launched (www.jorda.pk)       

The Academy publishes an internationally acclaimed and peer reviewed research Journal, the ‘Journal of Rural Development & Administration (JORDA)’.  It is a biannual journal recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and is aimed at promoting development oriented research. The idea is to stimulate interest in the scientific study of social problems of development and disseminate systematic knowledge especially about the multi-disciplinary field of rural development. It provides a forum to the development professionals, social scientists and researchers from around the world for sharing ideas and thus encourage the integration of indigenous practices with modern approaches.
