There is no denial of the fact that students of Balochistan have always suffered due to unavailability of facilities and opportunities but the strength of remote areas student in Lahore is a present evidence of their optimism and passion.

There is no denial of the fact that students of Balochistan have always suffered due to unavailability of facilities and opportunities but the strength of remote areas student in Lahore is a present evidence of their optimism and passion.

Every year more than 1000 students of Balochistan move to Lahore for their intermediate and higher education because scholarships are provided to those young lads. The Punjab Government and administrations of different universities are having keen interest in brining and facilitating the students from different areas of Balochistan.

But those students are from such backgrounds that it is even not possible for them to afford their hostel and daily basis expenditures there but they go because they qualify on reserved seats on the basis of merit. The Balochistan Government officials visit Lahore often but they never even think of organizing any seminar or event to address them and ask of their problems.

The working organization namely Voice of Balochistan has taken an appreciable measure by organizing an event namely “Balochistan Perception and Reality” a few months ago in Lahore. Several high officials were present at the event including the Commander Southern Command Lt. General Aamir Riaz. Students from all the universities were invited there and especially those who belonged to Balochistan.

We are addict to criticism but for a moment we have to praise the contribution of the governments of National Party and PML-N in the several sectors. But it is not enough for a nation who was looted since it was initiated. The Education Department is made of an injured bird which is available for all the cats anytime because always the budget of Education suffers if anything comes over the province.

The students in several areas of Punjab are the true face of Balochistan and their facilitation should be in the top priority list of the government. Every time we criticized Punjab for not providing the due rights but if the ruler province is even giving free education to the students of your own province than it is your duty to contribute your part as well.

A student of University of Management and Technology Lahore refused to disclose his name has said that, “I am studying in a private institution and it is providing me 50 percent scholarship just because I belong from Balochistan. Then why shouldn’t our own government come forward and increase it to 75 by giving 25 percent from their side?”

The every student of native province studying in Punjab is asking for assistances from the side of Balochistan government because they are of the opinion that Punjab is doing enough by providing scholarships in tuition fees.

Despite that, those youngsters want to ask questions to their representatives but the MPAs of Balochistan Assembly are never seen visiting any institution in Punjab. Therefore there is need of response from the Education Department and the entire Government in the education sector. The budget is on head and the officials have to be more careful for the education sector because in the history of the world those nations never moved forward who showed careless behavior towards education.
