Naya KPK | News & Updates on the development in KPK.

[Jango]

Budget for Higher education in KPK is 5 Arab while basic education it is 13 Arab. 118 Arab for development programs. 8 Arab for health.

The budget allocation as a percentage is much higher than Punjab as I understand.

If you divide the budget for health, education and other things separately with the population for each provinces, you will find that KPK has more money reserved for Health and education per person than Punjab.

That is BS.

Just now a ticker coming on TV channels with Shaukat Yousufzai being said as Info minister. Yesterday Shaukat Yousufzai also said something relating to the floods and the TV channel put in Info minister beside the name. Pervez Khattak has also said that he is the info minister.

The Tsunami in Japan literally converted the whole country upside down killing thousands of people... Why the Japs have failed to stop it?

You'll see the rehabilitation works by PTI Govt. after the floods.

Tsunami is different from floods that come every year. this CM is against Kalabagh Dam and he will see his city in flood every year.

KPK's Govt. was able enough to at least put people into safety this year unlike last year and before... Now, in the coming years, Insha'Allah with proper irrigation planning, the devastating effects of these yearly floods will be minimised.

KBD wouldn't stop these yearly floods as far as I know.

Irrigation does control floods - proper management and distribution of water plays a huge role in controlling floods.

The Budget is being presented as we speak.

Education emergency imposed In KPK. 6 times rise in Education Budget. ANP's Govt. had allotted 11BN for education. PTI allots 66BN for Education - 19% of the total budget. Highest in KPK's history.

 

[Devil Soul]

Allocating 66B for education is really commendable, but how effectively it will be utilized is what matter...

 

[AstanoshKhan]

@nuclearpak, @Leader, @Rafael, @Aeronaut and others,

Punjab's Ed. Budget is 31BN.

KPK's Ed. Budget is 66BN.

@nuclearpak, @Leader, @Rafael, @Aeronaut and others,

Punjab's Ed. Budget is 31BN.

KPK's Ed. Budget is 66BN.

This is impressive, but if you factor in the population difference, it becomes even more impressive that how much is invested on education and health.

But merely allocating won't do it, now it's time to implement it and use the money wisely.

What is the difference b/w Security and Police? Security covers 1122 etc?

And I would have wanted the tourism and environment to have more of a share, but I guess that could be done later...education, health etc were the pressing issues. Even without a big budget, tourism can be promoted.

BTW, 1% tax on Afghan transit trade.

 

[SBD-3]

There's something fishy about it. If i add all these up, whats left is just 50 billion for Current expenses (Which usually consist of majority of the total allocation). This effectively means that current expenses are just 14% of the total budget which is somewhat unrealistic. Furthermore, different figures are being qouted by different media news

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet approved the budget recommendations which include imposing a 1 percent tax on the Afghan transit trade, while the total budgetary outlay for the financial year stands at Rs. 344 billion.
From the total outlay, 118 billion has been earmarked for development projects which include 983 schemes, of which 565 are ongoing projects, and 351 new projects will be launched.
For Health Rs. 7.99 billion has been earmarked, while Rs. 13.82 billion has been earmarked for education and another Rs. 5.7 billion has been earmarked for higher education.
The budget recommendations include a 15 % increment in salaries of government employees from grade 1 till 16. For government officers between grade 17 and 20 a 10 % increment has been recommended. A 15 % increment in pensions of retired government employees has also been recommended, while Rs. 200 million has been earmarked to help less fortunate children.
It has been recommended that the Bacha Khan Rozgar scheme be discontinued and in its place, loans be provided to the youth.KPK govt presents budget with outlay of Rs 344 billion

Very disappointing budget of KPK, its more like ****** and politically motivated budget to seek attention nothing concrete.

No tax reforms for feudal, landlords and rich.
No opportunities for business, corporate and IT sector.
Increase in education budget is good step but whole KPK cabinet is 12 pass so playing with numbers won't make things right It requires actual implementation on ground.
Masters degree holders will get 2000/month for 1 year (Atleast give laptop to masters degree holder)
Terrorist have destroyed more than 500 schools but KPK gov planned only 100 schools.
No development, No Housing, No Transport, No revenue generation schemes War hit Kabul is more advanced than provincial capital Peshawar.
PTI gov converted KPK into male dominated society no schemes for women and no quota in jobs, also Minorities have been completely ignored.

Another disappointing thing is budget of law enforcement agencies( keeping 2014-2015 military scenario in mind)Police budget is almost same as previous year so i guess no more recruitment and without good security arrangement you can't do $hit there.
