PASNI is a beautiful tehsil situated about 130km from Gwadar. Pasni is well-known due to its scenic beauty and attracts tourists in large numbers. One of the biggest issues being faced by the local community is the absence of a girls college. The girls are compelled to study in the evenings when their classes are held at the local intermediate college for boys.

Due to the lack of educational facilities for girls, most of them think about quitting studies. They are demoralised and if something is not done in this regard, they will have no other option but to actually quit studying.

The authorities concerned have been approached several times in this regard, but nothing has been done so far. Every now and then reports surface regarding plans to build a girls college in Pasni, but nothing concrete comes out of such reports.

It is the duty of the government to facilitate young women so that they too could play their part in helping Pakistan prosper and moving forward.
