Any province which spends more on Police ( Rs 23.5 Billion)than Education(Rs 6.07 Billion) and Health ( Rs 10.33 billion) combined together has no furture in 21st Century
Recommend
Education: Rs6.07 billion VS Police: Rs23.56 billion
Vocational education: Rs1.73 billion
Health: Rs10.33 billion
Development: Rs2.45 billion
Environment: Rs1.11 billion
Total: 21.69 billion < Police (23.56 billion)
Education 6.07 billion < Police (23.56 billion)
Ratio: 1 : 4
The Expenditure on Education should be more than police. Because keeping in view the last year performances of Govt. and decades of instability and socio-economic crises are due to low literacy rate (one basic reason) as compare to policing who are increasing threat for human rights, national rights, public/individual freedom and insecurity. One educated person is 1000 times better than 10,000 police. The development, civilization, security and higher moral values comes with quality education…..although its fact that well educated nation/people is threat for politicians, corruption, injustice, neglects etc to take over their dominancy for positive change.

If the people will get education they will not need police, but our government????? we can’t say anything…
Recommend
How unfortunate, We have elected leaders who don’t know the importance of Education & Population control. Any money spent on anything else is useless waste of money.
Unless you control over population you can never provide them any facilities be it education, healthcare or employment.
Recommend
This total comes to less than £150 billion… where is the rest of it going?

People of Pakistan, you have now read the budget, what are you going to do about it, or can do about it, Nothing as usual, therefore accept you are nothing will always be nothing and please don’t try to compare yourselves with the Civilised Nations?Recommend
