Modern Villages of Pakistan

Whenever we hear the word village, the only thing that comes to mind is ‘rural life.’ Especially if it’s a Pakistani village, it is seen as a poor area of the country where there is nothing but poverty and lack of basic necessities. However, a village is a village because of its small size of area and population. Villages are typically perpetual, with fixed dwellings that are close to one another. There is no place that is more cultural and has more historic traditions attached to it than an old village.

We usually confuse Pakistani villages to be seriously deprived. Nonetheless, this article will identify the top villages in Pakistan which are way more modernized than any other metropolitan city. Being underrated in Pakistan, these villages have adopted modern techniques and better options to live. Keep reading to explore some of these and know their interesting facts.

Fatu Dedo:

This is probably the cleanest place in Pakistan. Why, well because the inhabitants take care of the village’s cleanliness themselves. Instead of relying on the government, this village situated in Sindh has strict laws against littering where you are charged a fine if you are caught doing that. The villagers also contribute money monthly to keep their village free of pollution.

Ehsanpur:

Ehsanpur village is in Kot Addu in the district of Muzaffargarh which has never had electricity power. To fix this problem and to give access to electricity to the houses, there is a solar system installed on 20 acres and now this village fully relies on solar energy. 166 houses are powered by this solar energy project taken up by the villagers. Ever seen a village this advanced?

Rasoolpur Village:

Rasoolpur village lies in Punjab and like the rest of the Punjab, very forward and enthusiastic in terms of education.

Another astonishing and interesting fact about this village in Pakistan is that it has zero crime rates. Yes, Rasoolpur is safer than many other more famous places.

Basti Tabu:

As a nation, we all wish and encourage each other to take responsibility of our country and own it, instead of relying on the government or any private organization as such. This village in Sadiqabad runs itself as well as resolves issues without any assistance from the government. The sewerage system is as so that the disposed water is collected through covert passages and is later used for fields.

Saidpur Village:

One of the oldest, yet modern villages in Pakistan is located inside the capital Islamabad, along the slope of Margalla Hills. It belongs to the Mughal era, and has footprints of several different civilizations. After the establishment of “Des Pardes”, a traditional restuarant, many people started visiting the place. At the same time, the Capital Development Authority developed Saidpur Village into a tourist attraction and it slowly became a hot tourist destination for both, national and international visitors. It is now a hybrid of an old village with a modern touch.

Model Village – Kot Addu:

An approximate 20 million unfortunate souls lost their homes in the devastating calamities of 2010 and more than 60% of the country had to pay the price for these misfortunes. The collateral damage superseded that of the 2004 Tsunami, the 2005 earthquake, and the 2010 Haiti hurricane combined. The thousands of affected people required a long term and comprehensive solution and a private property developer promised to build modern villages for them. They completed the first modern village located in Kot Addu, in the district of Muzaffargarh.

So, apart from the natural beauty in Pakistan to attract tourists, these ultramodern and systematized Pakistani villages are so appealing that you would definitely want to pay them a visit.
