Defence budget up by 18 percent

The defence budget, large portions of which are never audited, is already more than EIGHT times the education budget.

we should reconsider few things.....if we increase our educational and research budget then we can make latest and cheapest defence related equipments in pakistan.................our planners have plan for present but they dont have plans for future........long term planning is required

Agreed. However, we are already so far behind, and falling further and further behind, that one has to consider the unpleasant fact that the point of no return may not be too far off, if not already passed.
 
at least we should learn this from JEWS they dont plan for present they have plans until this world ends they have continuity in their policies but we have no continuity every GOVT has different plans thats why we are not doing any progress
 
We have to forcibly increase our budget to maintain our sovereignity. However, education budget should be increased. But government is interested in devolution of HEC like decisions. Military has no influence on education. Only government and private sector can boost education.
 
It is about time we increased the military budget. Considering the induction rampage we are on for the last two years and is likely to continue for three more years, we needed this. More will likely be increased for Chinese Subs, frigates, FC-20. Good move.
 
i think its a good step, we are in WAR zone and enemy forces are on both sides so we need to spend money now or never....
:pakistan: :tup:

why its good step i disagree with you on this point, i know we are in war zone and we have enemy on both side but whats about our education budget (decreased every year) increase billions in defence budget and decreased education budget very nice grate Pakistan :)

Yes it will..total foreign military aid to Pakistan last year stood at

covering Coalition Support Funds+Counterinsurgency Capability Fund+Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining, and Related+Foreign Military Financing = $2.4 Billion

This figure can be excluded from the total defence related expenditure of $9.2 billion.

Hence what Pakistan spent from its own pocket on defence last year is $6.8 Billion.


Thanks didnt know about this. So what is Indian military budget and overall compared to Pakistan?
 
This is indeed bad. Just like some of you guys here I feel that more money should be pumped into the economy (especially in the education sector) rather than in the military. The people of Pakistan are the country back and if the back is broken than the military won't be able to stand up. Improve the education and the average GDP of a nation than it wouldn't matter how high or how low of a tax you set. It will not harm the nation.
 
Sometime back Imran khan Said " India needs to Increase its Defense Budget to Defeat Pakistan on Development Ground". India Growing with Pace of 8%-9% and 14% Defense growth every year will make 200 Billion $ Defense budget in next 10 years

I am not so Pro-War. Indeed, I personally feel There should not be any war.

Think in different way - If there would be No War in Next 10-20 Years then ??

I think GDP growth of 8-10% of India, China reflects their main motive is economical reform not War. 50-100 Billion $ will not affect much their economy.

There will be daily war on this forum, But who knows there might not be any war in next many many years also :smitten:

Increasing Defense on high rate should come after Country reaches at certain level of Growth.

Education, Health, Infrastructure Should be main priority for every nation including India or Pakistan or even Nepal or USA
