Despite, being rich in natural resources we are unable to vanish poverty and provide reasonable jobs. There is Dearth of efficient professionals and skilled workers. we still need Foreign experts and rely on imports. Lack of Modern technology is a great obstacle in economic development.For this purpose serious planning for technical education is crucial.
