I came to conclusion until Pakistan do something about its population we will never be part of developed countries, not even in next 150 years.
Though you are right that Pakistan has to do something to control population ... maybe incentive (Rs 250,000 payment plus Rs 1000 a month) based sterilisation for females after 2 child (even 1 child would do) ... or ... incentive (Rs 50000 one payment) based Vasectomy for male under 30 ... but still, underdevelopment problem is not due to population.
Pakistan is underdeveloped due to corruption, nepotism, malpractices, abuse of power, VIP culture, inequality in wealth and resources available (or distribution) to different classes, non-implementing laws (even existing bias laws) equally on all, and elites manipulation of country (and masses) to keep their elites life style intact by exploiting poor (making underdevelopment, dependency, illiteracy, ignorance, and poverty in country as weapons to keep unfortunate Pakistani poor exploited).
Religiously retarded mentality ... due to wrong interpretation of Islam by ignorant so-called scholars and vested interests having influences over masses ... also played a vital role in keeping country backward.

tum jaisay log gharibon ke munh se niwala bhi chin lena chahitay ho. Because you are staunch enemy of PPP does not mean you passed below retarded statments. Shame on you.
It is a federal funded program run by the federal government nothing to do with PPP, though PPP introduced this program in its last government. Program serves all poor women and children of the country. It is the job present government to see that money reaches to deserving and needy hands.
IN Pakistan these days it’s become the norm to bash both the government, no matter who is in power, and international development institutions for corruption and inefficiency.
But the success of the Benazir (Bhutto) Income Support Programme, designed by the World Bank and implemented by the current PPP-led government, proves critics wrong — at least in this case.
**The scheme began in 2008, modelled on two programmes in other countries: the Bolas Familia programme in Brazil and the Opportunidades programme in Mexico.
** A monthly cash transfer of Rs1,000 per month is made through either the post office or an electronic debit card to a woman from some of the poorest households in Pakistan — families to whom the amount can make the vital difference between food security and starvation. These six million households receiving the income support translates to 36 million people in the poorest fifth of the entire population.
Using a ‘poverty scorecard’ developed by the World Bank, the BISP surveyed 27 million households to determine who most needed the help. They measured household conditions — where was the house located, did it have running water, what was its monthly income? — and entered the data into a nationalised database.
**The scorecard was then cross-checked against an initial list of beneficiaries as identified by local MNAs and MPAs, and 1.5 million women who didn’t meet the requirements were withdrawn from the scheme.
** The poverty scorecard itself is an innovation in the area of cash assistance in Pakistan. It’s the main tool that will help target the delivery of social protection — cash transfers and other assistance — and health and other financial services using the debit card.
**Acclaimed Pakistani novelist Maniza Naqvi, who helped to develop and establish the programme, says: “The BISP Poverty Scorecard is being used by all of the provincial governments [for example in Punjab] for not only BISP but for their own programmes as well. And NGOs are also using the poverty scorecard.”
**
At first the government distributed the money through the Pakistan Post Office, the only system viable and available at the time the programme was implemented. Surprisingly, there was remarkably little abuse of the system thanks to the targeting and safeguards implemented into the scheme with the use of the poverty scorecard.
Plans are now under way to shift from using the post system to making transfers by electronic debit card or smart card into a bank account held by the women (transfers by cellphone had also been considered); the electronic debit card is biometric, tied to the owner’s thumbprint so that nobody but the legal holder of the card can use it.
So far 800,000 hold this biometric debit card and by the end of 2012, this number will go up to four million women.
The card itself is a simple piece of plastic, but the biometrics behind it, along with frequent monitoring and spot checks by private auditing and consulting firms supervised by the World Bank have gone a long way in eliminating the problems a cash transfer scheme usually faces in a country like Pakistan: misappropriation of funds, favouritism in doling out the cash, politicians taking advantage of the money in order to gain votes in elections.
But the real revolution that’s taken place lies in the other condition to receiving the money: each woman must have her own Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) before she can receive the cash through the post office or the electronic debit card.
According to Naqvi approximately 100,000 women were receiving a CNIC every week during the preparation phase of the programme in 2009. But what’s so revolutionary about holding a CNIC? It’s a piece of plastic that sits in our wallets, stating our identity and our address, to be taken out when we need to ‘prove our identity’ as it so whimsically states on the gates to military installations and other sensitive areas.
But there’s more to it than that. “As you know,” says Naqvi, “an ID card allows women to legally own land, have a bank account, take a loan, get a passport, become a part of the formal national economy and so much more. It allows a woman to vote.”
The BISP still has a long way to go in the eyes of its critics, though. Researcher Syed Mohammed Ali notes that the poverty scorecard is not a foolproof tool: people in the survey can lie about their conditions to procure benefits, and elected representatives and other political figures may still attempt to politicise the process of selecting beneficiaries in order to manipulate voting in the next election.
Other critics believe that the very idea of providing income assistance to the poor without requiring those families to fulfil conditions such as sending their children to school or participating in health and nutrition seminars is less effective than cash assistance programmes — in Latin America for example — which include conditionality in their structure.
Yet in a country where women have been so badly marginalised by the patriarchal mindset that pervades the power structure, the financial system and our society and culture, the BISP represents a sea change, where women are not only being included, but given the responsibility and the role of decision-maker as to how this money will be spent in their households.
**And it’s not the women from the upper classes, who have traditionally enjoyed more social, cultural and financial freedom, but the poorest of the poor, who are being given the tools of emancipation in the form of those two very small pieces of plastic. Somehow, I think Benazir Bhutto herself would be proud to see the women’s revolution that’s taking place in Pakistan today under her name.

ISLAMABAD - It is a good omen that Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), which is supporting the needy financially, is meeting its set targets with the passage of time.
However, a story titled “BISP may miss IMF-set targets” published in a section of press could not depict its true picture.
The fact is that unconditional cash transfer target for third quarter is 4.25 million beneficiary families and BISP has already generated payment for more than 4.3 million families and it is expected that by the end of current quarter this number would reach to almost 4.4 million. It is evident that BISP has already achieved the target for third quarter prior to the end of quarter.
It is pertinent to mention here that there are two targets set by IMF for BISP: coverage target refers to beneficiaries having CNIC while the payment target refers to beneficiaries having any of the electronic modes of payment, making it possible for them to receive quarterly payments of unconditional cash transfer. The targets mentioned in the said report for transfer of unconditional cash transfer are in fact the coverage targets. Originally, BISP had to ensure the coverage of at least 4.90, 5.0, 5.35 and 5.70 million people across the country in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter respectively. BISP has, so far, achieved first two quarters coverage target and is likely to achieve targets for the current and last quarter owing to the fact that a robust mobilisation campaign has been launched by BISP and all the regional offices have been given monthly targets to ensure issuance of CNIC in districts where number of beneficiaries without CNIC is high.
Second, the targets to make unconditional cash transfer to eligible beneficiaries were originally 4.06, 4.16, 4.66 and 5.21 million people across the country in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters respectively.
, which were revised to 4.06, 4.16, 4.25 and 4.47 million beneficiaries during the last IMF spring meetings in Dubai. Modern tools like Smart Card, Mobile-Phone Banking and Debit Cards have been introduced for speedy, transparent and efficient payment delivery.

I was not expecting these ignorant stupid remarks from a person like you. You have to read and get acquainted with the nature of the news. Since some gutter class f...ing urdu news paper most probably published by some bhanghi getting money from some phatoo and tatoo with task of slurs. lies, dirt language, you should not accept this bull sh!t.

He is not moving an inch that I agree but honesty/truthfulness are far behind. His views against other parties are simply based on being pro-PPP and being anti-every-other-party. Loyalty should be to the country, not a party specially when the party abandons its path.

My views are not based on evening news papers. Schemes like BISP are counter-productive and only created to fill pockets of corrupt people, very small number of people actually benefit from it.

But it is every ones prerogative to support what party he or she likes. No party is perfect. As regard BISP, I have attached one old and another latest news item. Both news have shown positive impact on the lives of poor downtrodden women and children. Such social programs are universal and implemented by most advance countries of the world.

These are sham schemes. They take away hundreds of thousands from common people, and then return a few thousands.
If they really were sincere then they would have initiated programs to create jobs and industries in those areas. Instead they are merely throwing them peanuts.

This is not sham scheme. Read the news, why do you think it is a shame scheme because the scheme is under the name of BB? Change the name if you feel so much pain. But let the program continued to help poor people all over Pakistan.

Punjab is the biggest culprit there so what are CTBT doing about it? Oh i am sure their allies the SSP and jhangvi cult are doing exemplary work in birth control and population welfare programs.
