Dawarian.
Situated 110km north of
the AJK capital Muzaffarabad, This mountain based area is
excellent for adventure tourism and unique customs and way of
living.
Dawarian's historical
and archaeological assets include the Ruins of Old Buddha
University in Sharda,, Sharda Fort and Kishan Ghaati near Sharda.
The earthquake of 8th
Oct. 2005 brought destruction to this beautiful land. Being far
from the capital Muzaffarabad and difficult to access, its people
suffered heavily after earthquake for not getting the adequate
relief.
KRDF with the help of
its volunteers have set up two Vocational Training Centres in this
area. One in Dawarian and the other one in Athmuqam. In both of
these centres, women are learning skills to contribute in their
families. KRDF also is providing teachers and monitors them on
regular basis to ensure the smooth running of these most important
centres.
