In order to be a home of plenty and prosperity, Pakistan must be industrially developed. Industrialization is essential for several reasons: If Pakistan does not progress industrially; it will have to import many products of its requirement from abroad. If the foreign supply of our requirements stops in times of emergency like war and famine, our whole economy will suffer. Our valuable foreign exchange is wasted on importing our requirements from abroad. Industrial development will quickly solve the problem of unemployment by creating new job opportunities. Industrial development helps the country’s agriculture by raising its output. Industrialization raises the per capita income of the people, helps them to consume more goods and thus raise their standard of living. In addition to all these, we should remember that industrially backward countries cannot defend even their sovereignty against aggression.
