HOW
CAN PAKISTAN
BECOME A STRONG NATION
By
Syed Yasir Ali Shah Masoomi (student of Saint Mary’s High School Sukkur)
In
the modern world, the world goes to him who is the fittest and the most
tactful. For our survival as an independent nation, it is essential to build it
on modern lines.
A strong economy, development of
industries, enlistment of manpower, utilization of natural resources, are some
of the imperatives of permanence and strength of a country. The first
requirement is the expansion of industries on an elaborate scale, and
employment of skilled and unskilled workers. The panorama should include large
scale, small industries and the cottage industries. This will provide a chance
of progress to all pillars and enterprises of the state. The development in
science and technology is also necessary.
The
farmers should be given ample of opportunities because, they play the key role
in the economic development of our country. But, our farmers are a bit hesitant
to adopt non-mechanized farming, they are still using the animal dung a
fertilizer and an old plough, our farmers should be acquainted to the new
things necessary for increasing the rate of Pakistan’s agriculture. This
measure will contribute self-sufficiency in economy and in other agricultural
products.
There
are many defects in our education system. It is examination-ridden. The need of
technical and vocational centers is far more from the centers present in our
country. More and more people should get technical and vocational education.
Vocational and industrial centers should be set up in all district towns of
Pakistan. But, Pakistan still direly need to develop in Industrialization
because, only those countries are considered as developed which are developed
in industries. Research facilities should also be increased.
In
order to make Pakistan strong nation we should strictly adhere to the
principles of Islam. Islam is a source of strength and unity. We should
re-model our political social moral and economic lives according to the
teachings of Islam. We should not forget that Pakistan was created because the
Muslims wanted to put Islamic ideals into practice.
Defense is yet another field which demands
our full attention. We should take a lesson from our past. We are surrounded by
hostile countries. It is the clarion call of the hour to rise and face the
challenges of our well-equipped neighbours and rivals. The debacle of 1971 has
awakened the people and they will not forgive any serious mistake. Our forces
should be trained on modern lines. To become a strong nation for Pakistan it is
necessary to create good-will between Pakistan and other Muslim states existing
in this world. In this way the entire trade system of Pakistan will also be
developed because, with the creation of good-will between nations, the newly
created products will also be introduced with other nation and they will express
their wish to have that product, marketed in their country. Embezzlement is yet
another issue which is a hamartia for Pakistan and has put a bad impression of
Pakistan on its juvenile, but since the juvenile is Pakistani they are
extremely vigorous for doing something special in order to develop this
country. We need to alter this problem which is embezzlement. Corruption is an
interception for the development of Pakistan.
Unless
the above given measures are not resolved, Pakistan cannot become stronger.
