Balochistan faces many serious problems, with poverty being the most significant one. This grave problem could be the biggest cause of violence and illiteracy in the province. Despite being the lowest populated province in the country, more than 52 percent of its population lives below the poverty line and nearly one-third of its population is unemployed. Even more alarming is the literacy rate, which is around 29 percent, while the female primary school enrollment is even lower at a mere 20 percent.
Balochistan still lacks an industrial base, and probably the single biggest cause of unemployment in the province. There are plenty of natural resources in the province. Gas was discovered in Balochistan in 1952 but still many of its districts remain deprived from gas transmission facility.
The government is requested to pay attention towards all issues of Balochistan so that it can proceed on its way to development.
