#WATCH | Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari says, "The debt-to-GDP ratio of a bulk of the Indian states is not very healthy. Unfortunately, Punjab comes right at the top with a debt-to-GDP ratio of about 55% and Punjab has a debt of Rs 4,47,000 crores or will have a debt of Rs 4,47,000 crores as of 31st March, 2027. Unfortunately, the five fundamental challenges which are critical to Punjab are: number one, the size of its public debt- Rs 447,000 crores, a completely skewed debt-to-GDP ratio, the fact that 84% of Punjab's farmers have between 2 and 5 acres of land; and despite the minimum support price, agriculture is no longer sustainable as a standalone occupation. Number three, Punjab's water table in the last three decades has plunged by between 30 and 40 meters. There are certain districts of Punjab, especially in southern Punjab, where water has gone as low as 600 or 700ft. Therefore, Punjab is in danger of running out of groundwater because of the kind of cultivation it has been doing over the decades. Number four, the biggest industry in Punjab, because of lack of industry, lack of skilling, has been IELTS- English language test that children take to go abroad. Now, barriers to entry everywhere around the world are going up. So under those circumstances how will the youth of Punjab find employment? And number five, Punjab is in the grip of narco terrorism, which is colloquially called gangsterism. None of these five issues are figuring prominently in the public discourse of Punjab as it leads up to the Vidhan Sabha elections of 2027. So, are elections just a gladiatorial contest to seize power? Or do political parties need to seriously deliberate upon the fundamental crisis that is pushing Punjab into an abyss from which it may not ever emerge?

Alhamdulillah! After months of dedicated effort, persistent follow-up, and close engagement with all stakeholders, the Punjab Assembly has today passed the bill upgrading UET Lahore Sub-Campus Narowal into an independent University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Narowal. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new era of growth, excellence, innovation, and opportunity for the youth of Narowal and the surrounding region. As an autonomous institution, UET Narowal will be better positioned to expand academic programs, strengthen research and innovation, forge industry linkages, and produce the highly skilled human capital required for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. The legislation has been carefully designed to meet the demands of the new technological age, incorporating modern governance, academic, and institutional frameworks that will enable the university to evolve into a centre of excellence in engineering, technology, entrepreneurship, and applied research. I congratulate the students, faculty, alumni, and people of Narowal on this historic milestone. This achievement reinforces our commitment to investing in education, empowering our youth, and building a knowledge-driven Pakistan in line with the vision of URAAN Pakistan. The journey has only begun. InshaAllah, UET Narowal will emerge as one of Pakistan’s leading innovation driven technological institutions and a catalyst for regional and national development.
