WHY WE ARE IN CRISIS:

Alhumdullilah Allah Almighty has blessed Pakistan with abandoned water resources, with water

flowing down the Himalayas and karakuram heights, from the world’s largest glaciers. Today

Pakistan has world’s largest and the marvelous irrigation system that irrigates over 16 million

hectors of land approximately 3 times more than Russia.

Pakistan is agro based country and Agriculture contributes about 26% in GDP and approximately

63% people of rural areas are linked with Agriculture, Agriculture is also base for foreign trade.

According to different reports and sources Pakistan is exporting about 3 million tons of rice per

year. And 2 million tons of wheat is also being exported from Pakistan per year. About 25 % of

total area of Pakistan is under cultivation let’s talk about world wide ranking Pakistan ranks 3rd

in Apricot production, 3rd

in chickpea production, 4th

in cotton lint production , 5th

in date

production 10th

in wheat production,4th

in rice paddy , 4th

in milk production, 6th

in livestock

production. But still more than 10 million people are in need of livelihood assistance food aid

and shelter.

ACCORDING TO CONSTITUTION 1973 ARTICLE 38D:

“Food security exists when all people have physical, economic access to food”

Ahhhhh…. But we are quite far from the food security I often think although Pakistan is blessed

country with all kind of resources but it is being included in under developed and mal nourished

countries WHY?

My brain often tells me that blame game and feudalism are the 2 major problems lets take a

example of flood, flood is the repeated action in Pakistan. Flood always come where there is

excess of water but still we cry upon shortage of water.. There is no shortage of water in

Pakistan, there is shortage of management, there is shortage of reservoirs and maintained

reservoirs, and there is shortage of literate irrigation agents and there is negligence of

Government just because of Blame Game of our politicians. They often commit promises but

after getting their seats, posts they don’t full fill it in spite of taking steps for betterment of nation

they waste their time in blaming each other .They find out mistakes of previous government

.They keep on doing this till next election comes. Our high profile personalities it is being

requested to you stop blaming each other, just look and care about your acts use your reservoirs

wisely, save our country’s people and land from further losses. Another problem from which our

nation has been suffering since independence is Feudalism. This is very painful we live in 21st

century but the word feudalism is still alive in our country.

Feudalism is the major interance in the success of small and marginal farmers they often stops

and don’t allow to pass canal water to go into the farms of ordinary farmers inorder to complete

their water requirements which is a crime it comes under robbery but nobody asks them to avoid

this.

It feels to me like that our written laws are like spider weds which only intagle and holds poor

and weak people while rich and strong can easily break them.

Feudalism system takes a lot of work on very small amount from innocent farmhands sometimes

they don’t give anything to farmhands except threats.

They often take over on the land of poor and weak people, I feel very pity for those people who

can’t do anything except crying upon their luck. Feudalism system doesn’t allow poor people to

get education because they scare if they get education they will not spare them and they will not

be able to make them fool, they don’t pay attention towards health of people of rural areas

specially farmhands specially during threshing many of farmhands are suffering from asthma etc

there are many more problems words will be completed but list of problems will not be

completed.

It’s time to aware Pakistani nation from these two major problems, it’s time to compel our

leaders to do something for the betterment of farmers and save our rural nation from further

losses it is their kindness that we are being included in 1st top 10 ranks in production of many

crops.
