Poverty is the biggest issue in Balochistan. Throughout Balochistan, countless people are below the poverty line. About 60% to 70% of people are poor.  The major two causes of poverty are illiteracy and Unemployment.                                                              Illiteracy is a huge problem of poverty. People are illiterate because of a lack of money.  They do not have enough money to send their children to school to educate them. An illiterate person is not capable to get a proper job to live a good life.                           Unemployment is another cause of poverty. Through unemployment, they are not able to get two-time food to eat. They are very pitiful. Poor people are facing difficulties because of unemployment which affects them physically and Mentally. Because of lack of money, they get involved in wrong-doing Such as crime, rob murder, killing people, etc. So all evils are occurring due to poverty which is the root of all evils.                                                                               

    In concluding remarks, I would like to utter that poverty is the major social evil in Balochistan. For this issue, the government should take rapid action to it overcome poverty. The measure steps include providing free education for children up to 14 years of age, scholarships to deserving students from the background, and setting up industries so that people get engaged working in them.
