In 2025, Balochistan will convert over 27,000 agricultural tubewells to solar power.

This year, the Balochistan government converted more than 27,000 agricultural tube wells to solar systems in an effort to support agriculture, education, and youth employment.

A significant step towards sustainable farming in the province, this project, which had a total cost of around Rs 55 billion, was financed 70% by the federal government and 30% by the provincial government.

The provincial government recently unveiled the Balochistan Youth Policy, a first-of-its-kind initiative that aims to give 30,000 young people work chances abroad. Over 6,000 talented young people have so far sought employment abroad, revitalising the province’s talent pool.

Education was also given a boost. With around Rs 4 billion allocated by the provincial budget, scholarships for matric, intermediate, graduation, master’s, and doctoral programs were given to deserving students under the Balochistan Education Endowment Fund.

Furthermore, more than 200 students were able to attend international colleges thanks to the Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Program.

The government started the Pink Buses for women and the Green Buses for general commuters to enhance public services. In the medical field, a cutting-edge trauma centre on Spini Road with 150 beds, 8 operating rooms and 4 intensive care units is nearing completion.

In order to facilitate mobility for locals, the Quetta Development Plan is also implementing infrastructure upgrades, such as flyovers, underpasses, and road expansion.

As 2025 comes to an end, the public hopes that the government will continue to work diligently and keep its nose to the grindstone. A number of efforts in the areas of employment, infrastructure, health, and education have already begun to yield positive results, giving people hope for the future.
