Education
for girls
Girls in rural areas lack education and are thus unable getting their basic rights. Education plays a vital role that must be provided to every child. In most of the rural areas there are no girls’ school and with boys around they feel uncomfortable and some times girls drop out because of this reason. According to a report 75 percent girls are out of school, while parents allow boys to go outside same parents don’t allow their girls to go out of room to refresh their mind. Girls are seen, as servant in the house working all the time. Girls in our society are also facing various problems for their rights, yet most of these girls in rural are out of school and even if some girl is able to pass her SSC exam she is forbidden to get higher education. The government and authorities must act immediately to improve the situation.

Relief for poor
It seems that our PM is extremely concerned about issues being faced by people of Pakistan. Inflation has crossed limits and for a common man life is hard to pass. The on-going political turmoil is further aggravating the situation. Pakistan status and international image is being tarnished. These types of things in the country can give rise to many national issues too. Therefore I request all political leaders to calm down and work for issues that bring peace and prosperity to people of the country.

Without hospital
Balnigwar located in Balochistan lacks facilities such as roads, schools, electricity and so many more but due to absence of hospital so many patients have lose their lives. Having a large population but not having hospital is a nightmare. Many patients have already lost their lives and recently few more died. Government of Balochistan should act immediately and build proper hospital so that poor people can afford proper treatment.

Smoking, drugs is rampant
Smoking kills millions of people in the world every year. This is because it contains lot of hazardous chemicals that are harmful for our body. It seriously affects our lungs and liver. Similarly there are many villages in Balochistan where people are addicted to drugs. Drug addiction has become death for youth yet no serious actions have been taken by authorities to save the youth. Not only males are addicted to dangerous drugs but females also have developed drug addiction. Furthermore, children in the age groups of 12-13 have become addicted to drugs. About 22 percent people are addicted to drugs that include males, females and children.
While government is busy in other things the people of the province are facing so many problems while life of youth is being destroyed. I would like to request Prime Minister of Pakistan to take immediate remedial steps.

Private schools fee
Poor students are facing multiples problems as private schools fee, which was Rs 1500/- has been increased to Rs 2000/- per month. The poor can’t afford to pay it. However, school owners take syllabus fee and tests fee separately while after some years fee is increased separately. Most of the poor students dropped out only for this reason as their parents take out their children because of poverty. How can they afford food and also educate their children at the same time. Thousand of students had left schools only for this reason and now majority of them are seen working in fields to feed themselves. I request education minister to instruct private schools to immediately reduce fee so that majority of students can rejoin schools.

Lack of career counselling
Career counselling must be made mandatory for every student who is desirous of a bright future. You will find many students who are choosing wrong subjects and careers, as they are extremely confused about selection of subjects that links them to future careers. They look for people who can guide them yet are unable to find anyone. Students just select subjects at random and later regret their decisions.
Students sometimes select subjects that don’t match their abilities and are not even aware about subject combinations. These issues are occurring due to lack of career counselling programmes. After SSC/Cambridge it is essential to conduct career-counseling programmes to figure out such important issues.
