Pakistan; a state rich with resources but poor people

                  Pakistan is the country that has been titled with "a rich country with poor nation". This is all because  the natural and human resources at hand with Pakistan are rusting. The country has been suffering from poorest political governance and worst martial laws. These have put the country in the bottom of poverty and insecurity. 50% population is on the poverty line and 30% under it. Unemployment, inflation and economic instability have impacted hugely. The life has become miserable. The PCI (per capita income) is 70$ per month. The social and offensive crime has increased. The literacy rate is below 50%. Unemployment is 70% of total population. 
Economic Resources 
                    Pakistan is rich with natural resources. The land of pure people is filled with all types of fossil fuels. There are more than 200 oil plants which are operating across the country. 2000barrel is the daily generation of petrol from them which is not enough for the daily consumption of 60000 barrels! The country has to import the remaining on huge prices. The govt provides the oil on subsidies which puts burden to the national Exchequer. There are more than 30 purely gas plants which generate enough gas to the demand of the nation. There are many being discovered every a month especially in Sindh province.
                  The country has been gifted with huge black gold reserves in Sindh and Balochistan. It has been estimated that the country can meet its energy needs for 300 years from Tharr coal if properly managed and utilized. Many Foreign Direct and Indirect Investments are interested to invest in this coal production and generation of energy and employment. Many MoUs were signed with Chinese, German and Italian companies by previous government but the recently in power political party is in a different mood to get other companies in. Proper utility of them could bring prosperity and peace in the country.
                  Pakistan possesses huge mountains of metallic minerals and non-metallic minerals. Chromite, bauxite, gypsum, copper, best quality of marble and tiles, rock salt etc. are found almost in all mountains of KPK, Balochistan and Sindh. The Kheerthar range of mountains contains more comfortable and cooler than others in the international market. Balochistan has mines of precious minerals like gold and silver also. The annual production of  Copper is 16,000 Tones, Gold = 1.5 Tones and Silver = 2.75 Tones. The annual production of rock-salt is 1300tonnes, of gypsum 358 thousand tonnes, marble 586 thousand tonnes. These productions are 15 to 20%  of total could-be-produced per year if machinery and companies are launch 
ed for it. 
                 Agriculturally the country is 70% fertile. 50 to 60% of GDP makes up from agricultural products. The fertile plains of Punjab and Sindh put huge food, cash crop and export to the country. It is 4th largest cotton producer, 6th in wheat and sugarcane producing country. . Still huge land is infertile and several of hundreds acres go waste due to improper usage and distribution of water among the provinces during Kharif and Rabi crops. The mountainous provinces are also famous for bearing fruits and dry fruits. Million of tonnes are exported and health amount of foreign exchange is received.
                 Pakistan's marine factor is also of considerable importance. The rivers, ponds and sea-sides posses a variety of aquatic life. The rivers and ponds are full of various species of fish that are in greater number. Rohu, Hilsa, Khagga and Pallah are not only favorite dishes for Pakistani but is liked in all parts of the world. Dolphins of Indus are famous and the most precious fish in the world. The price of each black turtle found from river Indus is Rs. 400,000! Suitable atmosphere for their breeding will boost them up and will earn a lot to the national treasure.
                  The sea waters of Pakistan are on 7th numbers to the international importance. Port Qasim and Gawadar have deepest water for harbouring. These waters are Exclusive Economic Zones. Daily hundreds of tonnes of sea fish and other eatables are handled and sold daily. Inside of waters the sea bed contains oil and gas that is crucial to for national economic development.
                Pakistan is one of the topper states with highest number of human resources and man power. More than 50% is young generation which is able to work and partake in the country's development. All these youths are a million dollar worth per year. Together they will add 50million dollars ( approximately  508624749 PKR) to the national income if handled carefully and honestly. At this time 80% of that 50% is in vain doing nothing due to no employment out of agriculture and labour departments.
