geography and the role defined by it for Pakistani provinces
Pakistan a sovereign state that emerged on the map of this world on 14 aug 1947 with the land area of 796,095 square kilometers is the land of diverse people and terrain. Which is divided into four province and federal administered area while Kashmir is the disputed territory between Pakistan and India.
Punjab being the most populous province with its huge water resources due to its five rivers and land area of 205,344 square kilometers out of which 70% is cultivate able quickly became the bread basket for the whole country.
while Sindh do have significant amount of cultivatable land (21255 sq. kilometers) but its crown jewel is its industrial and financial capital Karachi which have the GDP of 113billion $ and largest port in country.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sits primarily on the Iranian plateau and comprises the junction where the slopes of the Hindu Kush mountains on the Eurasian plate give way to the Indus-watered hills is leading supplier of hydroelectric power generating 4091 MW (about 60% of Pakistan’s total currently installed hydel power) and still have huge untapped capacity waiting to be exploited.
Baluchistan
land area of Baluchistan is comprise of 347,190 sq. kilometer making it the largest province of Pakistan (45.1% of the total land area of Pakistan) but ironically it’s the least populated one too with about 13 million people living in it. The low population density is attributed to scarcity of water, the harsh environment and rugged terrain of the province. lack of quality infrastructure isn’t helping either as most of remote areas of the province are still not properly connected with rest of the country. Even after all these hardships Baluchistan played a vital role in the development of Pakistan by substantially contributing to Pakistan’s fuel requirement with the discovery of sui reserves (12 Trillion cubic feet worth recoverable reserve) in 1952 which to date produces 446 Million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
