💚 Poverty in Bagh

Behind the breathtaking mountains of Bagh lie stories of struggle. Many families live below the poverty line, relying on daily wages or small-scale farming to survive. In remote villages, harsh winters cut off access to hospitals, schools and even food supplies — leaving the most vulnerable with little more than faith and hope.

Your support can change this. A single donation can provide warmth, food and healthcare to those who face the impossible each winter. Together, we can lift families out of hardship and bring dignity back to communities who have suffered in silence for too long.

“The most beloved of people to Allah are those who bring the most benefit to others.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ)

🌄 Bagh District – Area Profile

Bagh District lies in central Azad Jammu & Kashmir, embraced by the lush hills of the Pir Panjal range. It is a land of beauty, faith and resilience — where communities thrive amidst steep valleys, limited infrastructure and harsh winters. Despite challenges, Bagh stands proud with deep cultural roots and strong unity.

📍 Location & Demographics

  • Central AJK — south of Muzaffarabad, north-east of Poonch
  • Area: ~770 km²
  • Population (2017): ~371,900
  • Headquarters: Bagh City
  • Tehsils: Bagh, Dhirkot, Haveli (later separated)
  • Languages: Pahari, Urdu, Hindko, Gujari & Kashmiri dialects

🌄 Geography & Climate

  • Mountainous terrain, 1,500–2,500 m elevation
  • Part of the Pir Panjal range with pine forests and valleys
  • Moderate summers, cold snowy winters
  • Rainfall ~1,500 mm annually — landslides common in monsoon
  • Rivers sustain farming, livestock and rural life

🏛️ History & Administration

Formerly part of Poonch, Bagh became a separate district in 1988. It falls within the Poonch Division and is administered from Bagh City. The Sudhan tribe has long influenced the region’s history and leadership, reflecting a proud legacy of bravery and self-reliance.

📚 Education & Development

With a literacy score of 85.4 (2017), Bagh ranks among the stronger districts in education across Azad Kashmir. Yet, rural schools face infrastructure gaps, limited resources and accessibility issues that hinder consistent quality learning.

⚠️ Challenges Facing Bagh District

Progress is visible, but the region’s rugged geography, severe winters and limited connectivity continue to affect daily life — especially in high-altitude villages.

🏥

Limited Healthcare

Remote villages lack clinics or hospitals, forcing long journeys for even basic medical needs.

🛣️

Frequent Road Closures

Heavy snow and landslides isolate communities for weeks during winter and monsoon.

🏫

Underdeveloped Infrastructure

Schools, water systems and sanitation facilities need significant upgrades in rural zones.

🌾

Low Income Levels

Families depend heavily on agriculture and remittances, leaving them economically fragile.

🌧️

Natural Disaster Risk

Frequent earthquakes and flooding events damage homes, roads and livelihoods.
