Its 21st century and still Pakistan is lacking in
the production of electricity and natural gas. Who to blame for this? Looters
Politicians of Pakistan who are so busy in enjoying the tax money or the public
itself who are so habituated to the current situation that they do not bother
about what is going to happen with their country. Well it’s not the public;
it’s the other way round. Anyhow the electricity and natural gas are serious
issues for the manufacturing industry of Pakistan. If this is the situation
then how come Pakistan can improve its production in manufacturing sector. Pakistan's industrial sector accounts for about
24% of GDP, this figure can be improved if the above constraints are solved.
Starting with the textile
industry of Pakistan, practically more than partial of the industry is
situated in Faislabad. In my recent visit to Faislabad I sensed a lot of problems which this industry is facing and major of all is the electricity. Textile industry like Nishat can afford a private electricity plant but the small industries are only dependent on WAPDA. For this they have an alternative i.e. Generators but this cost them highly and due to this many of the small industries have been shut down. Textile products have a large ratio in the exports of Pakistan. Measures have to be taken for this; initially Pakistan has to produce enough electricity to fulfill the demands of the public because these types of industries are greatly dependent on electricity. New dams should be built; small turbines should be constructed on the canals of Pakistan. By doing so we can overcome a large part of this issue.

Industries dependent on the natural gas used as a raw
material are also facing a enormous problem. Pakistan is not able to produce
natural gas even there are large reservoirs of it in the Balochistan province,
they are not extracting it. Ceramics industry of Pakistan which was never blackout
for years, continuous production was done over years but now it has to break
its production after every 20 days just because of the low pressure of natural
gas. This creates a lot of unemployment because ceramics work is all done my
manual labour most probably. Moreover
other than unemployment industries have to face a huge loss because of ending
and restoring the production. Government
of Pakistan has to take serious steps towards this industry as they provide a
fat volume of employment and contribute essentially to the GDP of Pakistan.

totally agree.. our industry has shattered and there is a huge need for us to overcome the issues faces by the manufacturing industry.. load shedding has completely ruined our economy..
ReplyDeletesir Pakistan can produce everything Pakistan lacks nothing...the thing is funds to be allocated honestly...corruption should be eliminated...
ReplyDeleteThe government should stop using funds given to them for there own leisure but use it to set up more industries, use the current as well as hidden resources to make this possible. Development and efficient running of these industries will lead to a prosperous Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteWe have to revive our industries in order to change.. loadshedding , corruption has to end.. funds need to be allocated properly and we might see a change
ReplyDeleteAll the revenue generated from taxes goes to our politicians and no one can say anything to them or do anything about it. I believe if everyone takes a stand against unfair resource allocation in our country this problem can be solved in seconds :)
ReplyDeleteStanding against the politicians would do us no good to be honest, we need to correct ourselves in the first place and then move on :)
ReplyDeleteLoad-shedding is not just affecting these industries, its affecting the whole economy. Their are thousands of factories, small scale and large scale, thay have whatsoever no means of getting cheap electricity. Still to survive they have small generators but the cost of running them is not affordable for many. Load-shedding issue should be the top priority for any government that comes in the next 2013 elevtions.
ReplyDeleteFirst and the last thing we need is to remove corruption from our country, this will help every sector to flourish!!
ReplyDeletePakistan is one of the few countries in this world blessed with all natural and physical resources to produce anything locally. Honesty is the only thing that we are lacking in. We should stand United and say no to corruption and dishonestly.
ReplyDeletePakistan needs a new leader to lead its people just like Quaid-e-Azam did in making a separate nation for his people. Whereas, technology is concerned Pakistan has all the latest equipments and gadgets necessary for the production of electricity and any other purpose; it just needs the implementation of certain rules and regulations which will in-turn grant prosperity to the country.
ReplyDeleteagreed...our industry has completely shattered we r facing lots of crises.. to overcome all the issue we need to allocate resources
ReplyDeleteLoad-shedding issue should be the top priority for any government that comes in the next 2013 elevtions.

ReplyDeleteSir We need a system which will give education with understanding, wisdom and ability to think. When we will be able to think beyond our emotional attachments based on our education, only then we can chose good leaders.All of them are busy in increasing their own assets.Pakistan can never make progress unless these people OR their family members are ruling. Leaders should represent the people. Education will give us opportunity to think about the betterment of our country by thinking beyond emotional attachment to our politicians, political parties, provinces and personal benefits
ReplyDeletetotally agree load-shedding is the major problem in pakistan ............we should help our country improve them as cuz of the load shedding we are like our economy is going down in front of the whole world ............. we r still lacking behind many countries nd our bitter rivals INDIA while they r improving..... soo we should get more industries in the areas encourage our govt. to build more dams........ our country has a very good potential to doo much better but without the unity nd without creating a very good unity in our country we cant do anything so i encourage everyone we should be together nd help pakistan like it was visioned by quaid
ReplyDeletend if we can finish the loadshedding then our economy is going to increase nd then our industries can survive nd many people who are unemployed will be employed nd it will going to affect the economy as a whole
ReplyDeleteAll the issues mentioned in this article should be taken up on top priority by the government.
ReplyDeleteThese issues need to be resolved.
ReplyDeleteCorruption is the root cause of massive economic destruction in pakistan and this should be the utmost priority of every native pakistani to eliminate this and bring a revolution.
ReplyDeletePakistan is more into agriculture , most population live in rural area.industry sector of Pakistan is much less than agriculture sector. so my point is that Agriculture sector should be improved more than industry.as Basic requirement of industry is oil gas and coal, these are less available and expensive.Poor people doesnot have enough money to setup an industry but it doesnot mean that industry should be left aside it needs a lot of improvement which should be carried out also.
