Functional Limitations
Functional limitations are restrictions that prevent one from fully performing activities of daily
living (ADL) from physical or mental causes and can lead to complete or partial disability.
Functional limitation is measured by the reported level of difculty in six core functioning
domains: seeing, hearing, mobility, communication, cognition, and self-care.1
Improved Drinking
Water Source
Improved drinking-water sources are dened as those that are likely to be protected from
2
outside contamination and fecal matter in particular.
Pakka/Semi-Pakka/
Kacha House
There are three general classes of housing in Pakistan: pukka houses, built of substantial
material such as stone, brick, cement, concrete, or timber; katchi (or kuchha [“ramshackle”])
houses), constructed of less-durable material (e.g., mud, bamboo, reeds, or thatch); and
3
semi-pukka houses, which are a mix between the two.
Person with Disability
(PWD)
A person with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment that
substantially limits one or more major life activities. Disabilities can be visible or invisible,
4
something a person is born with or acquired at any point in life.
Urban/Rural
Areas
Pakistan Bureau of Statistics has classied the whole geographical area of the country into
two mutually exclusive groups: "Urban Areas” and “Rural Areas”. Urban Areas are dened as:
“All localities which were Metropolitan Corporation, Municipal Corporation, Municipal
Committee, Town Committee or Cantonment at the time of the Census will be treated as
Urban”. All other areas will be treated as Rural Areas. The population living in rural areas will
5
be called Rural Population.

Lahore District Profile
Preface
The district prole; developed by PILDAT, provides information about key indicators of the
district. This prole contains data on population, education, health, infrastructure, local
government, and political dynamics and serves as a valuable resource for Civil Society
Organizations (CSOs) and citizens to better understand community resources and to enhance
accountability within local governance systems. Information on the structure and services of
local governments will enable CSOs to educate communities about their rights and will
empower them to engage with local authorities. The district prole will also help CSOs tailor
their initiatives and campaigns to meet the specic needs of the population, addressing issues
such as education, sanitation, or infrastructure gaps in their communities. CSOs will also be
able to use the data to conduct social audits and push for improved policies, better budget
allocations, and enhanced service delivery.
This prole has been developed by Ms. Saima Sadaf, Mr. Arsam Tufail Butt, and Ms. Rameen
Durrani, under the overall direction and supervision of Mr. Ahmed Bilal Mehboob, President
PILDAT, who has also reviewed this prole.
Disclaimer
The methodology for developing the district prole relied on secondary research and a
comprehensive review of data published by various government departments, ministries,
United Nations (UN) agencies, and international organizations. PILDAT has not independently
veried the accuracy of this data and is reporting it as provided by these sources. Although
PILDAT has endeavored to source and use the most recent records available, some data
collection for these reports may have been conducted a few years prior, which could lead to
slight variations between the reported gures and current on-ground realities.
Data presented in the district prole is obtained from reliable secondary sources, including
government databases, ofcial websites, and publicly available reports. Some key sources of
6
information include the 7th Population & Housing Census 2023, Annual School Census
2023-24, College Information System-Higher Education Commission, Provincial
7
Development Statistics, Pakistan Labour Force Survey 2020-21, Crops Area & Production
8
Survey 2022-23, and websites of relevant district authorities, national and provincial
9
assemblies, and the website of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), among others.
The gures presented in the Population and Education sections have been rounded off for
clarity and ease of understanding. As a result, slight variations may exist between the rounded
gures and the original detailed data. However, these minor differences do not affect the
overall representation of the population or education status in the district. Since the number of
transgender individuals in different categories is very low, rounding off these numbers would
result in a value of zero. Therefore, the percentages for transgender individuals in the abovementioned categories are retained up to three decimal points for accurate representation of
this population segment.
Additionally, the unavailability of data for certain indicators limited the development of a
complete and exhaustive prole. Despite these challenges, the prole is developed using the
best available data to provide an accurate overview of the district's socio-economic and
political landscape.
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the reported contents, any error or
omission, therefore, is not deliberate.

Lahore District Profile
Geography & Climate
Lahore, situated in the northeastern part of Punjab, lies along the
historic Ravi River. The city is bordered to the north and west by
Sheikhupura District, to the east by India's Amritsar District, and to
the south by Kasur District. Spanning a total land area of 1,772
square kilometers, the Ravi River runs along Lahore's northern
edge, forming a natural boundary with Sheikhupura. As Pakistan's
second-largest city and the capital of Punjab province, Lahore is a
hub of political, economic, and cultural signicance. Often referred
to as the "cultural capital of Pakistan," the city is renowned for its rich
history, which dates back thousands of years, with roots in the
Mughal, Sikh, and British colonial eras. Landmarks such as the
Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, and Shalimar Gardens reect its
historical grandeur.

Lahore District Profile
As shown in Table 2, the district's gender distribution is nearly
balanced, with males accounting for 52% and females 48% of the
population. This balance is almost consistent across most age
groups, though the elderly population (65 years and older) shows a
more pronounced gender gap, with 58% being male and 42%
female. The age group 15–49 constitutes 52% of the district's total
population, serving as the primary labor force and a key driver of
economic potential. However, with 36% of the population under the
age of 15, the district has a signicant young population,
underscoring the need for investments in education, and childfocused services to build resources for the future, foster sustainable
growth, and enhance the quality of life for the young and expanding
population.
To address the issues and challenges faced by persons with
disabilities (PWDs), the Punjab government16 introduced the Punjab
Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2022, which
reserves a 3% job quota for PWDs in public service17 under Section
31(1). This initiative aims to enhance job opportunities and support
the rehabilitation of PWDs. However, the implementation has been
slow due to weak enforcement and inadequate mechanisms,
delaying the development of inclusive infrastructure and policies.18
The total number of PWDs in the district with any form of functional
limitation or disability is 1,836,487, with 54% being male and 46%
female, as per the 7th Population & Housing Census. Table 3
indicates the number of male and female PWDs in Lahore19 along
with their percentages.
historical richness with modern urban planning.21 Housing includes
historical neighborhoods like the Walled City and Anarkali, with
narrow streets and old architecture, as well as modern gated
communities. The Census 2023 indicates that 67% of families own
their houses while 29% of the population lives in rented houses. 93%
of the households in Lahore are owned by men and 5% of
households are owned by women.These statistics resonate with the
overall national and provincial ratio of household ownership.22
Nationally, men own 93.96% of housing while women account for
4.02%, and in Punjab men hold 94.1% of housing ownership with
women at 4.12%. Figure 2 below shows the percentages of regional
and sex-desegregated ownership status of housing units23 in

Infrastructure & Housing
The road network in Lahore is one of the most developed in the
country, with several major highways, yovers, and underpasses
designed to manage the high volume of trafc that ows through the
city daily. The construction of the Lahore Ring Road, Lahore Metro
Bus System and the Orange Line Metro Train has signicantly
improved intra-city connectivity, reducing travel time and
congestion.20 Railway infrastructure of Lahore dates back to the 19
century and Railway station of Lahore is one of the oldest in the
subcontinent. Lahore junction not only connects Karachi and
Peshawar on the main line but also connects Delhi, the capital city of
neighboring country India, although no train service is operating
between the two countries since the closure of Samjhota Express in
August 2019. Lahore's infrastructure and housing reect its status
as a dynamic and rapidly growing metropolitan city, balancing

Political & Administrative Prole
Pakistan has a federal parliamentary structure with three tiers of
government. The Constitution52 of Pakistan 1973 gave constitutional
recognition to the local government institutions through Article 32 in
the chapter on Principles of Policy. Article 32 states that, "the State
shall encourage local government institutions composed of elected
representatives of the area concerned, and in such institutions,
special representation will be given to peasants, workers, and
women." The 18th Amendment Act 2010, through the Article 140-A
made it mandatory for the provinces to establish the local
governments and devolve their authority. Article 140-A states that,
“Each Province shall, by law, establish a local government system
and devolve political, administrative and nancial responsibility and
authority to the elected representatives of the local governments.”
Lahore District Profile
The 18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, passed in
2010, marked a signicant shift in the country's governance by
decentralizing powers from the federal government to the provinces
by abolishing the Concurrent List. This devolution of authority aimed
to enhance provincial autonomy, allowing provinces to manage their
affairs, especially in areas like health, education, and local
governance. Under this amendment, several subjects previously
under federal control were transferred to provincial governments,
empowering them to legislate on these matters. Along with that, this
amendment also mandated provinces to devolve their political,
administrative and nancial responsibility and authority to the
elected representatives of the local governments. In Punjab, this
decentralization is reected53 in the Punjab Local Government Act,
2022 [Act XXXIII of 2022], which sets out the framework for
establishing local government bodies. This Act emphasizes
empowering local governments to address developmental issues
and public services at the grassroots level. However, the
implementation of the law has faced challenges due to political
instability and reluctance to share power.
According to PLGA 2022, the largely urban areas of a district are to
be governed by Metropolitan Corporations whereas the rest of the
district is to be governed by the District Council. As per the act, there
are 11 Metropolitan Corporations (Lahore, all divisional
headquarters of the Divisions and the urban areas of Sialkot) in
Punjab and 39 District Councils representing all the districts of
Punjab (except Lahore).
The organogram in Figure 7 indicates the existing structure of local
governments in Punjab according to PLGA 2022:

Governance Structure at the District Level
Lahore's local government structure has been well-dened under
the PLGA 2022, to manage the city's administrative, developmental,
and civic needs. According to the law, the district is to be governed
by the Lahore Metropolitan Corporation, which is the central
authority responsible for municipal services, town planning,
infrastructure development, and public welfare programs. As per
the PLGA 2022, Metropolitan Corporation Lahore has 150 elected
representatives (90 general and 60 reserved members).
The organogram in Figure 8 below shows the administrative
structure of the proposed local government in Lahore and its union
councils as per the PLGA 2022. At the time of preparing the district

provincial government and no elected local governments existed in
the province.

Figure 8: Composition of Local Government in Lahore
As local government elections have not been held since the
promulgation of PLGA 2022, the city is managed by a Deputy
Commissioner (DC) who is responsible for coordinating between
the provincial government and the district authorities. This role
involves the implementation of provincial policies at the district
level, as well as ensuring that district-level operations align with
broader provincial objectives. The DC oversees district public
services such as education, health, price control, social welfare,
Ramzan/Sunday bazaars, management of public properties and
graveyards, disaster management, transport and environmentrelated matters.
Assistant Commissioners54 also play a key role in district
administration and governance. They report to the DC and manage
the administration of tehsils (sub-districts) within the districts. The
number of Assistant Commissioners (ACs) in each district of
Punjab, varies depending on the size and administrative needs of the
district. These Assistant Commissioners perform duties including
monitoring and supervision of revenue administration, law and
order of the sub-division, price control, supervision of duties
pertaining to polio vaccination, encroachment removal, etc.,
coordination with line departments for the implementation of
government policies, and acting as a representative of the
Government at sub-division Level.

were only allowed to run as Independent (not afliated to any

the election because of the open support announced by PTI through

to be PTI legislators but ECP has not yet notied the afliation of the

Law & Order Situation in Lahore
Lahore is safeguarded by several key law enforcement agencies
that ensure public safety and order. The Punjab Police is the primary
body responsible for crime control, maintaining law and order, and
enforcing laws. Within its structure, specialized units such as the
Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) and the Trafc Police handle
specic areas like investigations and trafc management.
Additionally, the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) oversees the
city's integrated surveillance system, crucial for monitoring trafc,
responding to emergencies, and preventing crime.

District Development Budget-2024-25
The district development budget allocations for different social
sectors, as per the Punjab Annual Development Plan63 (ADP) 202425 are shown in Table 15. Along with the schemes mentioned in the
table, the ADP also includes several schemes that have a shared
budget allocation for multiple districts including Lahore. Since the
segregated budget for Lahore is not specied in these schemes,
they have not been counted in the table. Some of these schemes are:
1. Afternoon Schools Programme (Up-Gradation of Primary
Schools) (Budgeted Amount 1,836.916 Million PKR)
2. Punjab Education Endowment Fund (PEEF) (Budgeted
Amount 100 Million PKR)
3. Punjab Daanish Schools and Centres of Excellence Authority
(Budgeted Amount 2,500 Million PKR)
4. Master Plans / Land Use & Zoning plans for Local
Governments in Punjab (Budgeted Amount 95 Million PKR)
5. Punjab Intermediate Cities Improvement Investment Program
(PHASE-II) [Budgeted Amount 1062.5 Million PKR (30 million
Local+1032.5 million Foreign)]
6. Implementation of Universal Health Coverage under Health
Insurance Program in Punjab (Budgeted Amount 54,000
Million PKR)
Along with the grants and budgetary transfers from provincial and
federal governments through ADPs, local governments generate
revenue through proper ty taxes. They also collect fees from
markets, parking, and building permits, along with charges for
water, sanitation, and waste management services. Rental income
from municipal properties, nes, and penalties also contribute to the
revenue. The exact revenue mix varies based on the district's
economic activity and administrative structure, with urban areas
typically generating more income than rural ones.

To improve transparency in public processes, to enhance citizens' access to public records and to make the Governments more accountable
to its citizens, the "Freedom of Information Ordinance” was passed in 2002 at the federal level.64 In 2010, the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution granted the right to information as a constitutional right.65 The Article 19-A of the Constitution66 states: “Every citizen shall have the
right to have access to information in all matters of public importance subject to regulation and reasonable restrictions imposed by law.”
The Punjab67 Transparency And Right To Information Act, 2013 (ACT XXV of 2013) was passed by the Provincial Assembly of Punjab in
December 2013. Under the RTI Act, public bodies are required to provide the requested information to the requester within 14 working days,
which are extendable to a period of another 14 working days if the information sought, requires searching a large number of records and
databases.68 The Act mandates notication of Public Information Ofcer (PIO) in all public departments, and ofces, with whom the request for
information can be submitted. The PIOs will be responsible for ensuring that requests for information are dealt with according to the Act.69 The
Act also mandates the formation of the Information Commission, namely 'Punjab Information Commission' to act as an independent body
headed by the Chief Information Commissioner. The primary role of the Information Commission will be to receive and decide on complaints
about disclosure or non-disclosure of information sought under this act.70 The table below provides contact details of some of the key line
departments present in the district.
