Özet:

Agriculture remained the backbone of Pakistan since its inception. Without any doubt the sector was under different circumstances that is why we still faced lot of issues to strengthen the livelihood activities. The present research article derived from PhD research work, particularly some of the issues faced by the farmers in Bahawalpur district discussed to make the reader understood about the actual situation and the ground based issues that is why we need emergency reforms in agriculture sector to sustain the growth and nutrition of the country’s population. In the article two tools for the data collection discussed e.g. in-depth interviews and the FGDs with the stakeholders. The study concluded that, due to negligence of farmers and lack of available and standard facilities from different government departments the dream of prosperous and green Pakistan remained a dream under different circumstances. Farmers wanted to change but due to poor economic condition and other external influences they living very hand to mouth lives and all the time remained under debt. If government wanted to provide relief to the farmers she must have to maintain the watercourses as well as electricity services on standard rates. Otherwise the urbanization will increase the burden on cities which leads toward the decrease in agricultural products and increase in imports for the survival of masses.
