Effective use of resources

It is very  common sentence  in our general public “ Pakistan is rich in natural resources” , but I don’t feel an hesitation  while saying that that are use useless, because It won’t matter how much sources you have until unless you know how to utilize. We are rich in coal resources but we just using them domestically, we have big reserves of gem stones in Mirpur but unfortunately we have giving the contract of their extraction to some foreign country, Kohat is rich with copper resources but it’s useless as we are not serious about them.

Why and how do we use these resources in our national interest? It is like asking ourselves, "Why we live?" One thing that cannot be overlooked is the fantastic level of connection in flows of information, power and resources. There is plenty of consideration and mediation about the proper use of resources. So far, we have failed to use our resources on optimal levels. We live in a time of great change. To many of us, this level of change is frightening.  

This is not an unreasonable feeling. Just as some of these changes could portend great

Improvements in the human condition, others could spell disaster. The stakes are too high for us

to be able to afford a misjudgment. Unfortunately, the easiest response to the many decisions we

will have to make is to use simplistic and thus, often dangerous solutions.

Pakistan is presently witnessing a major drive to rebuild its economy. Over the last few years the

major concern of Pakistan’s government is to rebuild the country’s physical infrastructure.

Parallel to this effort, the public and private sectors have embarked on another equally

challenging objective, namely the restructuring of their respective organizations and the

development of their human resources.

Times are changing now. Human potential and the need for conscious attempts to

develop it are more readily acknowledged today than ever before in many parts of the

world. The creation of a ministry for HRD by the Government of Pakistan is a good step

towards testimony to this awareness and concern at the national level. Efforts are afoot at

various quarters in the country today to devise and implement methods of developing

human resources.
