Is it in the manifesto? Part-5 Pakistan Election 2008
By Farid Masood • Feb 17th, 2008 • Category: Pakistan Vote'08, Politics • 4 Comments •Industrialization is requirement of a progressive mode of the economy, in-fact industries are also being demolished from developed countries and being setup in under developed countries like Pakistan. We can witness it in many plants and factories being setup in sub-continent or they are in pipe line to be set up.
Off-course setting of factories do accommodate jobs and the people of the country get better wages.
But the negative side of such developments is mainly the contamination of natural resources and environment. Many industries setup in the past have contaminated ground water and nature streams of fresh water. This contamination have also endangered the life of many species.
Will the next government make rules to prevent it and will the organizations not following these rules be punished, will the natural resources be protected?

Transition from feudal to industrial society is essential for the growth of middle class and for real democracy to take hold. In terms of output, the industrial sector already contribute more (26%) of Pakistan’s GDP versus only 22% by agriculture. But 70% of the population is engaged in agriculture and lives/works on the lands owned by the big feudal lords who will win the Feb 18 elections regardless of party labels. A better educated population is seen as a threat by the feudals.
Would these feudal lords be willing to create conditions conducive to new industrial development? such as improving education for higher literacy rates? or improve infrastructure? The foreign investors have choices. They are being invited by many countries such as China, Vietnam, India etc who offer a better educated, more literate work force, better infrastructure etc. That is the key question.

Yes, you are very right. The industry is setup where these feudals allow, and the work force in industry in Pakistan is also not much trained one. And offcourse literacy rate cannot be increased by just distributing free of cost course books. We should also get compitency of international in services sectors also.
coming back to the subject, the waste control need much attention now.
