As
Pakistan has an agriculture based economy, rural areas have a large
population. According to a survey, around 65% of Pakistan’s population
dwells in rural areas. Villagers are known for their simplicity, hard
work and humbleness. To people who live in cities, village life seems
dull and boring. However, that is not the case at all. The countryside
is healthier and cleaner, and people lead a less stressful life.
Sadly, due to certain factors, many villages in Pakistan suffer from a
bad reputation. Those factors are feudal lords, faulty educational
system, poverty, lack of proper health care and poor sanitation.
The following villages in Pakistan have proved that these assumptions
are not true! Not only that, they have set a great example for the whole
nation.
