The socio-economic indicator bestows Balochistan which is the most
deprived province of Pakistan. One of the primary reasons for it’s under
development is not paying proper attention to this region by thefederal
government. The government continuously exploiting the natural resources of
the province and did not bother on its socio-economic development. It
aroused the anger of the local people, and their grievances further led to the
militancy that prevailed since last few decades. The current China Pakistan
Economic Corridor (CPEC) is destined to be the changing factor which will
minimize poverty of the province. There are alleged attempts made by other
major ethnic groups in the country. They tried to divert its routes from the
poverty-stricken districts of Balochistan to developed Punjab regions.
Research suggests that it should be the prime objective of the Chinese
government to make sure the route goes through poor and conflict-ridden
areas so that they get develop due to this project. This paper is based on
secondary data and the results would be appealing for the concerned
policymakers.
