Approaches to Development
Q. Which approach of development in your opinion would be more
appropriate for Pakistan in order to bring Social Development? Give a
strong argument to support your view.
Answer:-
According to my point of view the “Grass root” “Bottom up”approach is more appropriate for
bringing social development in Pakistan.
The Pakistan is facing key challenges and issues in the development of social
sector mainly in listed below fields:-
In education health
Energy Security and the environment due to lack of
policy Framework
Lack of governance Lack of technological advancement
Unstable strategies Lack of leadership
Poor project management Lack of innovation and inefficient utilization of
resources
Poverty in Pakistan is essentially rural because state institutions are ineffective and
practically absent at the village level. In addition the status quo is not acceptable. Villages are
further declining, with human rights violations, unemployment (due to the youth bulge) and
unattended sanitation issues running rampant. Almost all villages have extremely low standards
of living.We have wasted a great deal of time in paying lip-service to rural poverty in policy and
subsequently following a faulty development design deployed through our failing civil services
and dysfunctional sub-district state structures. This needs to shift our system towards
grassroots approach by the Sanitation and water supply, improved farming through use of
appropriate technology,education, health care improvements and family planning,
development of local industries and businesses through micro loans and the reduction in
bureaucracy, improved marketing and access to markets, land and property rights, access to
enabling technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones.
