Free Wifi in Tharparkar. Are You Kidding?

I am writing this article to tell the priorities of our governments. Sindh Engro Coal mining company is going to provide free WiFi with the help of Wateen in some areas of Tharparkar which also includes a production of 660 megawatt of electricity, this project will cost around $2 billion and will hopefully be completed in 2019.

But wait, Let me tell you one thing that people here in Thar are deprived of basic necessaries like they don't have good food, water etc. Lots of Children died here due to poor nutrition, thirst, lack of medical assistance etc

Thar is the only fertile desert in the world and its agriculture only depends on rainfall and they only earn from livestock( like selling milk, making leather , wool etc). Due to less rainfall, less grass comes out which causes a decrease in livestock and this brings overall bad impact on their livelihood.

Do you think, Are people here can afford the products related to electricity or electricity itself or can afford wife devices? The answer is simply No.

The $2 billion  is fairly enough to bring some changes in tharparkar like provide them nutritional food or bring alternative source of water for their agriculture or for drinking purposes as lots of dry wells due to less rainfall causes Children to die because of thirst, this is really an alarming situation to all of us.

I appeal  to Sindh government, please do what is need? the luxuries will be treated afterward.

Just think for Pakistan, think for Sindh,

Thanks

Why Engineers are Jobless in Pakistan? Must read

Asalam-u-Alaikum,

As a BSc(Civil Engineer), I am writing this article for the rights of Engineers and problems they are facing. The person who has done too much hard work to become an Engineer has no job, too much hard work does not only mean, he studied hard, Most of the students becoming an Engineer has to live far from their houses in different cities and face the difficulties of life on their own without their families and after all that trouble, their future is at stake.
For few days, I was thinking, if the person having technical education has no job , What would the person do who don't have such technical education? Almost all departments are touching their saturation point in Pakistan.

Why ENGINEERS are Jobless?

1)  Because Of some brokers and Contractors who just want our Pakistan engineering council number for some money and can not offer us a job.

2)  Because of the bad policies by the Government, Pakistani Contractors don't have big projects and they are also suffering a loss in Business as most of the big projects are taken by Chinese Contractors and they came with their own staff.

 

3)  Bad Education policies, BSc Engineering don't have internship, so most of the companies wants experience, How could the engineer got experience without getting any job?

I am really concern about the instability and unemployment problem in Pakistan, there are lots of issues to talk about . I do have one question, I recently receive Supervisory certificate,

Why  PEC display my Cell number on a list of Engineers having Supervisory Certificate? 

as Cell number is a private thing.

Let Suppose, If anyone got the job from small contractor:

Is his future be secure? 

The answer is simply "No"

I appeal to concerned authorities, do something for our future as the time is passing.

Just Think for Pakistan

Controversies relating to construction of Dams in Pakistan??

There are many uses of  Dams but mostly Dams are made for storage of water and power generation and also Dams control the flow of water .

According to some reports, If Pakistan would not be able to construct the Dam then it will run dry by 2025, so we need to construct the Dam immediately but there are certain problem which create hurdles in making Dam.

Money Problem:

Money is the biggest problem while making Dam. Most of the big countries take loans from world bank and some other banks for the construction of Dams, As Pakistan is already in too much debts, so it raises funds from donations for construction of Diamer Bhasha Dam which cost around $14 billion which is too high, so we conclude that this type of structures can not be made with donations but let me clear one thing. If Allah wants that project to be made with donations than none can avoid that project to be completed. As you know Chief Justice has taken an initiative to create Dam fund so just keep donating in Dam fund and play your part.

Political issues:

 Controversy of Kalabagh Dam?

Provinces of Pakistan has conflicts about making Kalabagh Dam but Sindh and Kpk has the major objections:

Sindh objection:

As you know , only three rivers are in control of Pakistan

Indus;

Jhelum;

Chenab

Chenab has not much water for a Dam to be built and Mangala Dam is already built on Jhelum river so we only left with Indus river which already have Tarbela Dam but Indus river can support more Dams as it is the biggest river in Asia.

The site of  Kalabag Dam is near Mianwali so, the objection of sindh is that, if an other Dam is built on Indus river then the Sindh will run dry as Sindh is on the downstream side of the dam but that is not the case, they are just confusing poor people.

Kpk objection:

ANP and other small parties in Kpk don't want the Dam to be built and their objection is, If  Kalabagh Dam is build, then the the water would enter Nowshera and some part of the Peshawar but that is not the case. Nowshera is 110 km away from Kalabagh site so, if the Dam fill up to its peak level, Nowshera will remain 60 km away from Dam water.

So please don;t do politics on that serious matter

What is China Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC) ? Its Pros and Cons?

What is China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) ?

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a collection of various projects which are under construction throughout Pakistan, originally valued $46 billion but now worth $62 billion.

(CPEC) is estimate to complete in 2030.

Brief Details of CPEC Projects:

1) 1100 km long motorway will be built between Karachi and Lahore.                                                 

2) Karachi-Peshawar railway line will be                

upgraded..

3)  Karakorum Highway between Rawalpindi 

and Chinese border will be overhauled.

4)  More than $11 billion required to upgrade

good transportation network.

5)  More than $33 billion is estimated for the projects related to energy sector.

6) $2.5 billion for the gas pipeline between 

Gwadar and Nawabshah.

Advantages of CPEC to Pakistan:

1)  It will boost the economic growth to 2-2.5 %.

2)  Almost 2.3 million jobs will be generated through CPEC.

3)  As Pakistan is suffering in Energy sector, so CPEC is investing more in Energy related projects.

4)  CPEC will modernize our transport infrastructure.

Disadvantages of CPEC to Pakistan:

1) As Chinese Banks finance CPEC with good amount of interest rate and Pakistan is already in too much Debt and it will be very difficult for Pakistan to return debt related to CPEC.

2) Because of CPEC lots of Chinese brands gets in the Pakistani market and Pakistani manufacturers  will suffer a loss.

Benefits of CPEC to China:

1) Huge interest rate, As CPEC originally values $46 billion, now it worth $ 62 billion ( As Pakistan has taken $62 billion from China).

2) As china is a big importer of oil via Dubai-Shanghai-Urumqi route which is a distance of 12000 km. Oil pipeline between Gwadar and Kashgar will make that distance to 3600 km which is very beneficial to China.

3) Only Chinese companies got the Projects as bids were one sided.

Major Imports and Exports of Pakistan?

Pakistan is the 66th largest export economy and 49th largest import economy in the world. In 2016 Pakistan exported $24 billion and imported $48 billion resulting in trade deficit, this was a biggest reason for devaluation of our currency, I have discuss in the previous post .

Now let us discuss about Major exports and imports of Pakistan.

Major Exports:

1)  Rice;

2)  Mangoes;

3)  Kinnows;

4)  Sports (best football maker);

5)  Clothing;

6)  Leather;

7)  Furniture;

8)  Cement;

9)  Tiles;

10) Carpet;

11) Wheat;

12)  Sea food.

Major Imports:

1)  Petroleum;

2)  Machinery;

3)  Chemicals;

4)  Vehicles;

5)   Tea;

6)   Fertilizers;

7)   Pharmaceutical Product;

8)   Plastic.

9)   Steel.

Why Pakistani currency devalued over the years?

First you should know about the terms Devaluation and Depreciation of currencies.

Devaluation of Currency:

Devaluation occurs when central bank ( State Bank of Pakistan) decreases the value of currency relative to other foreign currency (dollar) consciously (at own will) .

Depreciation of currency:

 Depreciation occurs when value of currency decreases through some market forces and government and central bank (State bank) are not involved e.g If the country is in war etc and many more factors.

Most of the time Pakistan is the victim of devaluation of currency, so we will discuss about devaluation.

In the past most of the experts advice the government to devalue currency because Pakistan was facing trade deficit (when export is less than import). Most countries devalue their currency to increase export but that policy backfire Pakistan because of that policy cost of our import increases and our imported products are mostly raw material like Petroleum, Chemicals, metals etc ( we have to import these products because these are necessaries), due to this, inflation in Pakistan increases.

Beside this, devaluation of currency can easily increase the external dept of the country. Let suppose, Pakistan has debt of  $70 billion, if currency devalues by 25%, our dept will automatically increase to  $87.5 billion without getting any loan. 

According to government figures due to devaluing of rupee during 2008 to 2013 cause our debt to increase by Rs 1.9 trillion, so these kinds of policies should be change which causes a bad impact on our economy.

According to current report;

                                            $1          =        Rs 161

As a Pakistani , I am literally concern about Pakistan because due to bad policies of governments, our country has suffer a lot.

Just think for Pakistan
