On 2 February, the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) government signed an agreement to develop agricultural land through construction of water channels in parts of the mountainous region. The pact was signed by the government through its project Economic Transformation Initiative, Gilgit-Baltistan (ETI-GB) with the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) in Islamabad. Through this initiative "Village Agriculture Cooperatives" will be formed and registered. Since the project of ETI-GB entails development of agricultural land through construction of water channels, the AKRSP in partnership with the local community will distribute, develop and cultivate land.
