Pakistan has implemented numerous rural development programs with varying degrees of success over several decades. Early programs in the 1950s-1960s were top-down with little community input, while more recent programs since the 2000s have emphasized greater local participation and involvement of NGOs and local governments. Major programs included the Village Agricultural and Industrial Development Programme in the 1950s, the Rural Works Programme and Peoples Works Programme in the 1960s-1980s, and the Social Action Programmes in the 1990s which aimed to expand basic services and involve communities. The Khushal Pakistan Program and Tameer-e-Pakistan programme since the 2000s allocated funds to local development schemes through members of parliament.

The policies of urban development and housing in India have come a long way since 1950s. The pressure of urban population and lack of housing and basic services were very much evident in the early 1950s. In some cities this was compounded by migration of people from Pakistan. However, the general perception of the policy makers was that India is pre-dominantly an agricultural and rural economy and that there are potent dangers of over urbanisation which will lead to the drain of resources from the countryside to feed the cities.

1. Main approaches/programs of rural development in Pakistan
Lecture -3
Pakistan has a long history of major rural development programs involving various approaches,
but most have had only limited success. Early programs were characterized by a top-down
planning process with little input from the rural communities. Over time, these programs have
come to involve increased participation by rural communities and NGOs in planning and
implementation. The devolution process begun in 2001 institutionalized efforts toward greater
involvement by local governments and communities in development programs and public service
delivery.
Numerous rural development programs involving various approaches, donors and government
Administrations have been implemented in Pakistan, but generally with only limited success.
The first major program, the Village Agricultural and Industrial Development Programme
(V-AID), from 1953-1962, was designed to increase agricultural production, establish rural
small- scale industries and provide social and physical infrastructure through village councils,
youth clubs, cooperatives and social centers. Subsequently, the Rural Works Programme was
launched in West Pakistan in 1963, after initial success in East Pakistan (current-day
angladesh) the previous year. Although this program made an impressive contribution to the
development of local infrastructure, recourse to local resources for repairs and maintenance
reduced the long-term impact of the investments. In 1972, the initiative was renamed the
Peoples Works Programme and placed under the Federal Ministry of Finance and Planning,
where it remained until 1983. Projects under the Peoples Works Programme, which was
concurrent with the Integrated Rural Development Programme (1972-80), included road
construction, school buildings, small irrigation dams, drinking water facilities and other physical
infrastructure, although in many cases, other necessary inputs and services were not provided.*
Numerous broadly similar short-lived initiatives were launched in the mid-1980s. The Five-
Point Special Development Programme (1985-88) was later integrated into other existing
development programs: the Peoples Programme (1989-90) and subsequently the Tameer-e-
Watan Program/People’s Programme (1991-99). These programs generally included a broad
range of rural development activities, among these education, health, roads, electrification, water
supply and sanitation.
The Social Action Programmes (SAP) I (1992-93 to 1995-96) and II (1998-99 to 2003-04)
were designed to expand access to basic services for the poor, particularly education and health
for women and girls, and improve service quality; these were intended to include involvement of
NGOs, the private sector and community participation to build political consensus and ensure
bureaucratic support. Delays in funding and other implementation problems hampered SAP-I,
particularly federal programs for population welfare and health.1
SAP-II had a greater focus on
technical and vocational education and on improvements in the quality of service delivery.
Implementation of SAP was decentralized to the provincial and district levels for the majority of
relevant expenditures, consistent with the government’s devolution policies formally adopted in
2001.
2. The Khushal Pakistan Program (Pakistan Welfare Program, January 2000 to June 2002)
provided Rs 36 billion during this period for small-scale public works schemes (Rs. 0.05 million
to Rs. 5 million per scheme in rural areas and Rs. 0.05 million to Rs. 8 million per scheme in
urban areas). The Tameer-e-Pakistan programme (TPP), a federal program begun in
February 2003 which was later renamed the Khushal Pakistan Programme-I (KPP-1), initially
provided Rs 5 million in 2003-04 to each Member of the National Assembly (MNA) for local
development schemes. The amount per MNA has increased over time, and the total budget
equaled Rs 4.42 billion in 2005-2006.
