3. Introduction
• Background History
After a long struggle and numberless sacrifices of property and life, Pakistan came into existence on 14th
August, 1947. The Quaid-e-Azam became the first Governor General of Pakistan. But after a few time some
people starts deceiving people. On the other hand our enemy India was not happy to see Pakistan making
progress. He tried his best to take Pakistan down at world level. Indian National Congress did not accept the
creation of Pakistan from the core of its heart.
At the time of division of Asserts the share of Pakistan was 750 million rupees. Bharat in spite of world
pressure, become ready to pay amount if Pakistan would surrender Kashmir Valley to Bharat. The balance has
not been paid by Bharat so far. At last they paid 500 million rupees to Pakistan.
At the time of division of forces it was decided that all military asserts would be divided at the ratio of 64%
and 36%. Not a single one was situated in Muslim majority area after a long decision it was decided that Bharat
will pay 60 million rupees to Pakistan .Now a days Kashmir issue is present due to this Pakistan and Ind had
fought three big battles of 1948, 1965 and 1971. In short India is still not happy by Pakistan and he is making
plans to destroy the economy of Pakistan.

7. Economic planning and Development of Pakistan
• Industrial Development
• Energy Crisis in Pakistan
• China Pakistan Economic
Corridor (CPEC)
• Corruption in Pakistan
The better use of national resource for the development of national economy and
public welfare is called economic planning.
There are some main sections given below that we will discus
• Importance of Economic
planning
• Agriculture Development
• Natural resources
• Education
• Health
8. Importance of Economic planning
• Increase of per capital income
The main objective of the economic planning is the continuous increase of per capital
income. The standard of life of the people depends upon per capital income. If per capital
income continuously increase the economic development of the country will go ahead.
• Development of under-developed areas
In case of imbalanced development of some areas of the country the economic planning
helps to bring them parallel to the other developed areas. Special schemes are made for
to the backward areas on priority basis. There steps help in establishing a durable
economic system and economy f the country.
• Control of population
The Major aim of economic planning is to control the rapid growth of population. Economic
planning develops the economic resources, and controls the population. This is the
purpose of the economic planning of every government.
9. Continued…
• Increase in National income
The basic objective economic planning is the provision of opportunities for the people
to enable them to live a contented and prosperous life. It increases the national
income. However, it is only possible when the national income increase more than the
rate of growth of population.
10. Agriculture Development
Agriculture has special importance in the economy of Pakistan. The development of agriculture
sector of Pakistan is continues. The big industry of Pakistan i.e. Textile, rice, sugar, flour, ghee
and edible oils depends upon agriculture sector.
Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy of Pakistan. The detail of utility and
Development of this sector is given below:
• Cash crops
The cash crops are cotton, sugarcane, rice and tobacco etc. They are valuable for our country.
Major portion of foreign exchange is earned from their export. They are also an important source of
industrial raw material.
• National income
In agriculture sector the government provides loans farmers on easy term so that the maximum
number of people may get employment and migration from villages to cities may remain low.
• Use of better seeds
The important factor of the progress of agriculture is the use of better seeds. It has increased the
per acre yield of different crops.
11. Continued…
• Use of advance machinery
Use of advanced machinery will save the time and produce better yield of food. It will be helpful for
low level formers.
• Diseases of crops
The climate of Pakistan is helpful for the growth of pets and insects. Pakistan imports pesticides for
their control so that the increase in the produce of agriculture may be ensured by killing the insects.
• Water logging and Salinity
The control of water logging and salinity the government has started programs in Punjab and Sindh
so that the cultivable area may be increased. These programs will not only increased the cultivable
area but also the agriculture yield.
• Establishment of Agriculture bank
Government has established agriculture bank to enable the farmers to get short and long term loans
for better seeds and other related tools. Facilities of loans are provided by other institutions such as
commercial banks, cooperative banks so that the agriculture is developed to make the economy
strong.
13. Industrial development
The industry of a country is necessary for the economic development.
Industry provides more jobs in a small area. It fulfills our needs by producing for marketing.
There are some kinds of industries which are needed to develop
Small-scale industry:
Small scale industry is that one which employs two to workers to produce many products Like carpets
pottery, sports and electric motor industry etc. There is a need to promote these kind of industries for
development.
Heavy industry:
Large scale industry is called heavy industry. Like petroleum and petroleum products , cement, motor
cars, and tube industry. Heavy industry is very rare in Pakistan. So it’s the need of the hour to build
industries to progress .
Defense industry:
Ordinance and allied products producing industry is called defense industry.
Texila engineering works manufacture missiles whereas Khota laboratories our nuclear program.
14. Natural resources
Pakistan is a vast country. ALLAH gave us all types of resources. The national resources
are present in the shape of
manpower,
rivers, mountains, sea, deserts, Gold, Gypsum, minerals and livestock etc.
Our country is rich in natural resources. Natural resources are very important for
development and prosperity of a country.
The population of Pakistan is growing rapidly, and the people are participating in
development of the country it is required that we should exploit the natural and human
resources fully so that Pakistan may play an important role in every field of life and
economy.
15. Health
Health is a blessing of Holy ALLAH.
A person cannot enjoy life without it. It is famous saying that heath physique has a health mind. The
life expectancy of Pakistan is lower then that of the developed countries.
Government should have to take many steps under Health for All missions.
Establishment of maternity centers.
Establishment of health centers in far flung areas.
Join efforts of NGOs and public sector to ensure the availability of medical facilities
Lunching of programs with the help of the agencies of UNO and other international organization for
the prevention of small pox, malaria, TB, aids and others.
Policies for batter public health at local and central levels.
Various projects of sewerage, availability of drinking water, prevention of pollution and availability of
medicine at controlled prices.
No doubt, the government is keen to improve the public health but many steps are still required to be
taken.
16. Education
Education, sociality and economic development are mutually inter-related. The investment in education
is very important for the progress of economy. The experience of developed countries shows that the
increase in national income depends upon the promotion of education.
Problems in way of education:
The major problems are
• Cost of education
The economic cost is higher in private schools.
These are located in richer settlements only.
The paradox is that private schools are better
• Funds for Education
Pakistan spends 2.4% GDP(gross domestic products) on education.
At national level, 89% education payments comprises of current costs such as teachers’ salaries, while only 11% comprises of
development payments which is not sufficient to raise quality of education.
• Technical Education
Enough attention has not been paid to the technical and professional education in Pakistan.
The number of technical and professional training institutes is not enough.
Unskilled population means more jobless people in the country, which affects the national development negatively.
17. Continued …
Solutions
Since education is a local subject, the local education secretariats need to be strengthened.
Help of public and private sector.
Free and compulsory education up to primary level.
Free supply of textbooks at primary, middle and high school levels.
Improvement of the higher education for the progress of society, economy and industry.
Special attention for the education of females.
Scholarships for the primary education of boys and girls.
Efforts for gender equality in education special attention for the institution of
woman.
Formation of new universities in public and private sector.
Special attention for the institutions of women.
Technical education should be made a part of secondary education. Classes for carpentry, electrical,
and other technical education must be included in the curriculum.
19. Energy Crises
Energy is the most important source for economic growth of a country.
Unfortunately Pakistan has to face a major energy crisis in Natural gas,
Power and Oil.
Pakistan energy sector comprises of major sources with share of 50% of gas,
followed by oil 29%, hydroelectricity 11%, and coal 8%.
Pakistan has a huge demand to generate power through oil but we can meet only
20% of our requirement through original production and rest of oil is imported from
other countries of world.
Solutions:
• Replacing Thermal fuel:
Our reliance on thermal power is almost 53% which is the biggest cost on our
imports bill.
We can change the fuel used to gain thermal power.
20. Continued…
• Moving past the myth of thar coal:
There is coal in Thar.
It can be used immediately.
It will solve all our energy problems.
Experts agree that Thar coal is highly unstable – making it difficult to transport it from one location to
another – and even its gasification is not risk-free.
• Improve energy mix:
Energy mix refers to the sources of energy we utilize in Pakistan.
The fact is that all our energy is interdependent.
We need to move of CNG as we simply do not have enough of it to supply to all the commercial,
industrial and home users.
• Stand alone power projects:
We can finance independent stand alone power projects.
Local communities and businessmen can set up their own energy solutions without taking prior
permission from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) like they have to now.

Diverse investment opportunities:
25. Conclusion
We conclude that we should have to eliminate corruption from our daily
life. We should have to promote education to make Pakistan a developed
country. We should have to reduce unemployment and give jobs to able
persons on merit. We should have to modify our health, Agriculture and
trade sectors. We should have to utilize our natural resources to overcome
our energy crises. We should have to obey laws of Islam and Government,
after that we will able to change Pakistan from developing country to a
developed country.
26. Recommendations
• First of all we recommend that if we want to see Pakistan a developed country in true words
then we should have to complete grip on Islam because Pakistan was found in the name of
Islam.
• We have to groom our own personality and thinking individually.
• We should have to use our resources and natural minerals by using advance research,
technology and better machinery.
• We have to introduce anti-corruption authorities to eliminate corruption.
• We have to modernize our education by introducing advance languages and we have also
provided opportunities to fresh pass out teachers because they have fresh knowledge.

medicines. We have to build hospitals in backward areas and have need to provide better
facilities to them.
• We have to modernize our agriculture sector by using advance machinery, agriculture tools
