It has been over 76 years since Pakistan became an independent state. Although we have made progress across several fronts, there are innumerable social and economic issues that continue to plague and haunt us. An average Pakistani lives a very underprivileged life due to the sheer mismanagement of our governments. Our politics seems to revolve around personal vendettas rather than resolving the ongoing issues in our communities. This leads to problems like poverty, inadequate access to quality education and healthcare, high unemployment rates, and insufficient infrastructure. Economically, the country faces challenges such as low industrial productivity, an agrarian crisis, a large informal economy, and an imbalanced distribution of wealth. Political instability, corruption, and security concerns further exacerbate these problems, hindering progress and stability. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive strategies focusing on education, healthcare, job creation, infrastructure development, governance reforms, and concerted efforts to combat poverty and inequality.
