This is the age of problems. Every country has its own problems and every country is trying her best to overcome these problems as soon as possible. Sometimes, the help of friendly countries and that of the UNO is also sought. Pakistan was bom with several problems.
Pakistan was established in 1947 and since its inception, it has been surrounded by countless issues including but not limited to ill-formed / missing infrastructure, insufficient refined resources, barren or obsolete factories and technologies, imposed conflicts at Kashmir and other fronts and an ever-ready enemy to underscore all the efforts towards progress.
Despite it being rich in raw resources, Pakistan is a developing country with limited development in every area due to the problems it faces. In the following text, we will shed some light on some of the major problems faced today by Pakistan as a country.
According to an analysis conducted by the government of Pakistan and published at HEC, Gov.pk (the higher education commission of Pakistan) shows that the poverty has increased roughly from 30% to 40% during the past decade.
Consider that if 40%of a country’s population is earning their life below the poverty-line in which the people are deprived of basic necessities of life such as clothing, shelter, food, education and medication, such families and their children will be forced to think of their survival only. Literacy is defined as persons aged 15 or above who can “read” and “write”.
According to this definition, Pakistan is officially reported to have 50% literacy rate. Which means half of its population is illiterate.
With such family backgrounds, inflation, poverty and child labour, this rate is expected to increase in future. Even for those who are termed as “Literate” are only able to read and write, which in today's technology-oriented world is still considered as illiteracy. Majority of the people forming the top controlling tier is almost unaware of technologies and technical mindset.
Terrorism is another serious problem which has upset the whole system of our country. Thousands of innocent persons have been put to death by the terrorists who are generally religious extremists. No punishment is given to the arrested ones. The police are unable to control the situation. It is the need of the time that strict policy may be devised in this connection and the army must also be brought to hush up this cruel and fatal activity.
Overpopulation is the most serious problem of this country. Most of the other problems are also the outcome of this problem. In the global birth rate ranking, Pakistan is included in the top most countries and its population has reached the alarming figure of 200 million. It is a pity that the government and the people are paying no heed to the seriousness of this problem. This criminal negligence has resulted in very bad consequences. Life of the people of this country is becoming troublesome. Immediate steps to check this rapid human growth and to increase the production of the country should be taken.
Corruption is also one of the most hideous problem of our country. It is caused by selfishness, lust of the wealth and lack of patriotism. It is a great pity that almost everyone of us is busy in looting the country. Government should take immediate steps to stop all this. Through education, the people should be persuaded to abandon this malpractice. Instead of inciting the people to quarrel with one another the religious leaders must turn to the noble task of advising the people to stop corruption.
People should try to abandon malpractices and do their best to overcome the country problems. So that the country should grow on firm footing and become a viable state.
