Abstract
The role of public sector in the economic development of Balochistan is highly important. The province is lagging far behind the rest of other provinces of Pakistan in all socioeconomic indicators. The backwardness of the province is due to its topography for being so vast with very scant population which has made the service provision difficult and costly. The private sector initiative to invest in various sectors of the economy is limited due to socio-political and economic uncertainties and high risks. This research article highlights the importance of public sector initiatives for the economic development of Balochistan. The main focus of the study is the development of basic infrastructure and the provision of basic amenities to the citizens in order to raise their living standard and to enable them to play their due role in the socioeconomic development of the province. The study is descriptive in nature and relies on secondary sources of data.
