Dhok Nawan Lok is a village in the Punjab province of Pakistan, located18 kilometers east of Mandi Bahauddin and 0.5 kilometers north of Dhok Kasib.[1]
Dhok Nawan Lok has a population of around 5,000 with a literacy rate of 80%. The main caste in Dhok Nawan Lok is Sahi. The most common industries are agricultural and services-related. After 1995, most of the younger people of this town preferred to travel abroad as economic migrants, resulting in approximately 15% of the natives under 35 years of age now residing in Europe and North America.
The village previously experienced religiously-motivated violence, with records of gurdwaras having been burnt in 1942 as anti-Sikh violence occurred in surrounding areas.[2] The electrification of the village was approved by the Minister for Fuel, Power, and Natural Resources in 1974.[3]
The migration of a large portion of the population changed the entire local economy; foreign exchange now accounts for around 90 percent of the total income of the town. This has resulted in higher prices for real estate and agricultural property. The price of 1acres of purely agricultural land has increased to around 800,000 Rs. Per acre non-agricultural properties in real estate have also risen to an estimated 3200,000 PK Rs (4,000 m2). The village has approximately 1500acres of land.
