Balochistan is the largest province of the country and it is facing some major problems such as poverty, in ation and many other
unresolved issues.

Poverty

According to an scrutiny organize and carry out by the government of Balochistan which shows that the half of the province is facing
poverty and it is increasing day by day and the population which is earning their life below the poverty-line in which the people are
deprived of basic necessities of life such as medication, food, shelter, edi cation and clothing are necessary to live. It is really a
disappointing for the people of that province which is full of resources still the citizens are living a poverty lives.

Terrorism

Terrorism is act of terrorist which is creating violence among the common people of the province, which can’t let anyone to live in
peaceful life and it is the biggest problem which is going on from many decades.

Illiteracy

Literacy is clear that those persons which is the aged of 15 or above who can “read” and “write”. According to this de nition,
Balochistan o cially reported to have low literacy rate in our country. Even for those who are called as “Literate” are only able to read
and write, which in today’s skill oriented world is static considered as illiteracy. These all are occurring due to poor education system of
province.

Corruption and political instability

Balochistan is facing corruption and political instability which is the major problem now a days. It is interesting to note that due to the
international interfering and skill full manner the very same people that we label as corrupt just some time ago, responsibility and

reproach, come back to govern us after a couple of years again and people welcome them with open arms. This is possibly also the
main reason why the political process in Balochistan is not let to ourish physically.

Overpopulation, in򦩔ation and unemployment

Overpopulation, in ation and unemployment is the major problem of Balochistan. According to accurate gures may be ne above
the o cially reported facts, the province has an estimated 2% growth rate which for a province of o cial population of 160 Million
turns out to be approximately around 3.2 Million every year. About 40% of the population is already living under poverty line and 5.6%
o cial facts and gures of the population is without job, the ever growing population of Balochistan is just adding to the problems of
the previously under pressure state.

In conclusion I would like to say that these are the main problems which can create further problems for the citizens of Balochistan as
well as these all problems are connected with each other and if from them one problem will remains alive, surely that give birth
another problem and we can say that these all problems are like a chain. If we want to eradicate the problems of Balochistan, we need
to eradicate all problems and it is my humbly request to the concerned authorities to take a serious action in order to bring peace in
Balochistan.
