Abstract
Rural development has a long history in
Pakistan as that there development had to begin
since the early years. At the eve of
independence, Pakistan had been a
predominantly rural country; the most part of the
population lived in the rural areas and the rural
population still account for two third of the total
population of Pakistan. Thus, rural development
has always been remained a national priority
and permanent agenda throughout the history of
Pakistan. All governments had introduced
developmental programs and made deliberate
attempts to stimulate modern changes in rural
economy and social infrastructure. People’s
Works Programme was a vigorous effort of this
series, primarily introduced by Zulfiqar Ali
Bhutto and later reintroduced in the
governments of Peoples Party in 1988, 1993,
and 2008. This article mainly addresses this
programme initiated in the first period of
Benazir Bhutto, 1988-1990 and quest of the
study is related to probing into political
response and constitutional reality. The current
study looks into the structural and
administrative features of the program then
largely evaluates the political response given to
it and also explores the constitutional truth in
analytical way. Priority has been given to the
primary documents and secondary sources
