Gojal.net is completing its 2 years of online service

Gojal.net is completing its 2 years of voluntary online service.  The network started its function with a website and is now recognized as a pioneer in online journalism in Northern Mountain regions. Pamir Times magazine and daily news is now successful to attract a large number of audiences from all over the Northern Areas.

The main objective of this forum was to provide a centralized Knowledge Management and Networking plateform to the people of different villages of Gojal in order to discourage fragmented efforts and encourage a sense of belongingness with each others. 

During this period we received a large number of feedbacks from our regular readers and visitors.  Now in this stage we want to increase the scope, improve the services and strengthen the network based on our 2 years of experiences.

We need valuable critics and feedbacks from all honorable audiences, contributors and well wishers in order to strengthen this voluntary venture.

    It is one of the best forums for all its viewers to share, discuss, debate on a wide array of issues from across the region. Furthermore, it keeps us updated about the current affairs in entire North and Gojal in particular.
    Efforts of the site’s team are commendable. Congratulations once again.

  4. I am anxious to see an addition, a section for wakhi poets and writers… to share their creativity in wakhi language….

  5. Well done! the members of gojal.net.
    I would specially congretulate Mr Zulfiqar Ali Khan and Noor Muhammad for their efforts in minimizing the communication gaps among the youth who are scattered through out the world from U.S.A To Europe and from U.A.E TO Wakhan.
    I have no words to express the real feelings and thoughts that have been provoked by the splendid and magnificient work initaited for a good cause.
    I hope that if the same zeal and enthusiasm persists,would result in something exceptional and extraordinary.
    You guys have the true essense of petriotism and love for the soil which is really fertile and productive. The true example of this fact is all those of you who have really been eager to impart their contributions and services for the development and prosperity of the piece of land.This piece of land is no doubt a heaven on earth with the add of its inhabitants.The true identification of a place and its importance is majorly because of the inhabitants dwelling in it and reflecting its beauty through their attitude,through their contributions,through their good deeds.Moreover through their volunteer services, which our beloved Imam also emphasizes from time to time through his farameen.
    I pray for all of you and for the services you are rendering to the region.May MHI bestow you with all that you are dreaming/wishing(Ameen).
    Wish you all the best

  13. To the team at Gojal.net – well done! As a Wakhi far from home, it is great to get news and stories from this site. Often the news is really prompt & up-to-date. You are always working hard to keep us informed with the news & culture in our area. It helps me keep in touch & feel not so far away & isolated.

    I am requesting the youth of XIKMURDUM to come forward & join the team of Gojal.net. That way we could include news from Wakhi China; Afghanistan & Tajikistan to make it a XIKMURDUM.net.

    Best wishes & congratulations on your 2 years of work!

  18. It is wonderful to go through the Pamir times some times which provides to us some times good glimpses of happenings in our part of the world.

    Some of the above comments are selfcongratulating, do we need to think beyond what we have done and learn from our mistakes. Before claiming any achivement we need to be realistic, we shold not be making false claims otherwise people will make fun of us and we will be taken a non serious punch of idiots. Please those who are not aware of the fact that we are not only the first online newspaper in the area, there are others such as K-2.

    all the best for furture of this initiative.

    Tania

  19. i admire all of the pamir team,infact they are strenthening the bridge among the communities.good luck for u n v hope same as in the future. at last i agree with Mr.Sultan n Tania

  20. Congratulation to the team of gojal.net
    the network has provided us an opportunitiy to share our idea and comments on different themes,
    we hope to see it flourishing with more new colours in future,

    best wishes with you

  21. I would say it was a great online journalism initiative. News dissemination from Gojal remained pretty good. But It requires coverage of news from other districts of NA specifically Diamer, Ghazir and Baltistan.
    Individuals specifically interns and students could be encouraged to undertake case studies present it on Gojal.net. Even during summer breaks students in groups can carry- out research or case studies and share it. Some of the thematic area may include community development initiatives, indigenous farming practices and evolving trends, pastures/ livestock management, tourism trends and impacts.
    conservation, village banking, housing patterns and disaster risks could be other options.There could be many more interesting themes!!!!!!

    I presume that Gojal.net will grow both horizontally and vertically in its size and scale.
    Best wishes

    Its nice seeing all the local activites, but rather seems to be only one sided thing???
    Suppose you need to be more of global Team, such as if you can kindly include the area around, naming the wakhi and other neigbours around us, so we can atleast look into broader expects of life, such as Tajikstan, China,Nepal and suurounding areas where we almost share the same life styles in our areas and we do have almost the same problems, where as we can talk more about.small other things and can find more of solutions, such as Muncipality we dont have in our towns proper munciplity works need to be done for the sost border where as tomorrow we can not diffrentiate with sost and Pirwadahi,Polution is more of causing problems to the enviroment,check and balance is must to be done in our areas other wise daily life items from the gorceries is of very low standards in all over gilgit , hunza baltisan please talk more on these subjects where as its harming our local populations, We request your team to bring more of the women in your team as there is many women who are highly educated and they can bring alot of change to our civil society.
    Thirdly we are living in knowledge society.and now we live in a global village,Please Think broader and widen your knowledge and your thoughts,Do not stick to one place such as holding one gojal net , please the world has changed now we live in the 21st century.I would appreciated your efforts if you can be more broad minded,
    With lots of thanks and do take care about gojal.net
