Khoj – Society for People's Education has been working with the communities of more than 20 villages in and around Qureshianwala Union Council. These villages now fall in two districts after a new district under the name of Nankana Saheb was carved out of the district of Sheikhupura. An innovative approach of adult and children's education was experimented that aims at community development and tries to be relevant and responsive to the needs, problems and interests of the learners and the community at large. The experiment proved to be a great success not only in responding to illiteracy and providing relevant and quality education but in finding solutions in the spheres of health care and livelihood earning in partnership with the communities. Responding to the issues and problems in the area Khoj launched a number of programs in different areas:

• an educational program focused on women and children with active participation of men.

• a model school for women and children based on Khoj methodology in the village Thathi Bhanguaan.

• reconstruction and renovation of the building of Government Girls' Primary School in the village Mundi Kalan.

• construction and establishment of a Health centre in the village Thathi Bhanguaan.

• adoption of non-functional Government primary schools in the area.

• capacity building of the communities.
