چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Nathot.

Nathot is a village in District Chakwal, in the Punjab region of Pakistan. It lies on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range to the south. The village is about 25 km from Choa Saidan Shah and 28 km from the Katas Raj temples. At the 2017 census, 2,646 people were counted here.

Life in Nathot is rooted in the land and in the people who leave it. Most families farm and keep cattle, and wheat is the crop most closely tied to the village. The army is the second most popular career, and almost every family has at least one person serving in the Pakistan Army. In recent years, more residents have found work abroad, especially in the Middle East.

The full story of Nathot, its families and its memories is still to be told, and this page is a place for its own people to tell it.

یہاں کے زیادہ تر لوگ کھیتی باڑی اور مویشی پالنے سے روزی کماتے ہیں، اور گندم سب سے اہم فصل ہے۔ فوج یہاں دوسرا پسندیدہ پیشہ ہے، اور تقریباً ہر گھر میں کم از کم ایک فرد پاک فوج میں خدمات انجام دے رہا ہے۔ حالیہ برسوں میں بیرون ملک، خاص طور پر مشرق وسطیٰ میں، کام کرنے والوں کی تعداد بڑھی ہے۔
