The problems facing the Awaran are enormous. According to Pakistan District Education Ranking 2017, district Awaran is ranked at number 137 nationally, with an education score of 37.65. The condition of roads, colleges and schools are miserable, as only one professional doctor can be found in DHQ hospital all over the district.
Public should act now or never, there is still time for Awaran’s people to go after the books, to know their value, rights and ability. May be they will not become Socrates by going after the books but at least they will not sell their vote for five hundred rupees.
The authorities are here since the creation of Pakistan and the condition of Awaran is being worst day by day. The Government of Baluchistan and Federal Government must take a dire action to solve the problems of education, health and many more.
