00:00From the site of Dekodik, where the mining is going to happen and where the first phases have started.
00:05After the first phase, the second, third and after that in 2028, the mining will be done properly.
00:10From this place, from this site, now we will reach Naukundi.
00:14Naukundi is that area where the population is approximately 30,000.
00:17And in this population of 30,000, a lot of people are working here.
00:21We will show you some hospitals, schools and technical centres that have been built for that community.
00:30So that the health, education and well-being of that community can be taken care of.
00:34And they can also be prepared for how to earn their livelihood.
00:45At this time, we are a little far from Naukundi.
00:49And we are going to the most populated area at this time.
00:56This is the area where the population is approximately 30,000.
01:00And in this population of 30,000, you can see a lot of people working in the area of Dekodik.
01:08These are the people who are actually Baloch.
01:11These are the people who are basically Bakhtun, Baloch.
01:14These are the people of this land.
01:19Now we are at Indus Hospital in Naukundi.
01:22Hospitals should be the first priority of any area.
01:26Because if there is health and life, then there is the world.
01:30Come, let's take you on a tour of the hospital.
01:32Because of this hospital, the people here are getting the basic rights.
01:38Or the basic rights have become easy, which were not there in any time before.
01:43Now let's go inside and try to ask what are the basic facilities here?
01:48What are the basic necessities?
01:51Or is there any treatment here that requires advanced medicines and advanced machinery?
01:58Viewers, at this time, it is very important for me to know how many doctors are here and how many people come.
02:05First you tell.
02:06Here we have about 13 doctors available.
02:09There are 2 specialists and the rest are medical officers.
02:11Apart from this, we have registered nursing staff, supervisors, midwife supervisors and midwives and LHVs.
02:18In services, we have OPD services.
02:20Because this was initially a primary health care unit.
02:23Because there was no facility in Naukundi where we could provide 24x7 emergency services or labor rooms etc.
02:30All those services are present here.
02:32There is OPD, which is available till 5 pm.
02:34After that, 24x7 is available for our staff emergency services.
02:39How much population do you cover?
02:41We try to cover a population of about 20,000.
02:44Apart from this facility, we also have an outreach mobile unit.
02:49Our team goes there daily.
02:52There are male doctors, female doctors, midwifery doctors and people from the pharmacy go there.

03:09Are you from Naukundi?
03:11Yes, we are from Naukundi.
03:12Very nice.
03:13Before this, there was no health facility here.
03:17What were the problems for the people here?
03:19Where did they have to go?
03:20How was the health insured?
03:22It was very difficult when there was no hospital here.
03:25Sometimes, the patients used to expire on the way.
03:30Are you also from Naukundi?
03:31Yes, we are all from Naukundi.
03:33Is there an issue here as to why women are working?
03:36No, not at all.
03:38Because women also come there.
03:41Our specialist doctor is present here.
03:43He is a medical specialist.
03:45This is a clinic.
03:46Medical specialist.
03:47How is the income of the people here?

03:56We have OPD for 100 hours.
03:59Emergency is separate.
04:01Doctor, what are the challenges of this area?
04:04How important is this hospital?
04:07This is a very good initiative.
04:10It is very important for the local population.
04:13The reason is that the nearest tertiary care hospital is in Quetta.
04:20We had a 8-9 hour ride from here.
04:25Considering that there are no obstacles on the way.
04:28The initiative taken by RDMC and Indus is very good for the people here.
04:36If there are RTAs, they are also being managed here.
04:39If there are emergency cases, they are also being dealt with here.
04:43This has made a big difference to the population here.
04:47Are you a local doctor?
04:49Yes, I am from Quetta.
04:50I gave you a basic tour of the hospital.
04:52There are a lot of patients.
04:54We will not invade their privacy.
04:56But such facilities should be in every school in Balochistan.
05:07If we want to move forward in any area, it is not possible to leave women behind.
05:14All these women are from Naukandi.
05:17They are with us.
05:19They are learning sewing.
05:21They have a corporate social responsibility through the Hunar Foundation.
05:28Do the women here like to work, move forward, learn sewing and learn skills?
05:35Yes, we all like it here.
05:37We did not have any opportunities before.
05:40We all like it.
05:42We would like to thank RDMC.
05:45They have made an institute for us where we all work.
05:49Do you have a plan to learn sewing from here and send it to other cities?
05:56Yes, we will make beautiful clothes and uniforms.
06:03Was there a place in this area where all the women were working together?
06:09Did you develop a community-based situation?
06:13No, there was no such thing.
06:15What do you feel now?
06:17Did the women here work together before?
06:20Did they say that they are learning and will move forward?
06:26No, there was nothing here before.
06:29Because of RDMC, women leave their homes and come here.
06:34There was nothing to study here before.
06:37There are very few teachers in schools.
06:40Are you from Naukandi?
06:41Yes.
06:42Did you have any friends before coming to Honar Foundation?
06:45No, I did not have any friends before.
06:47But now I have many friends.
06:49What do you plan to do after this?
06:51You have done the course, learned sewing and everything.
06:54What do you plan to do after this?
06:56I want to do a job.
06:58How motivated are you to move Pakistan forward?
07:02Very much.
07:04God bless you.
07:06Let's talk to the teacher.
07:08Will everything be here in six months?
07:10Yes.
07:11We are teaching children at an industrial level.
07:13We joined in October.
07:15The children are so talented that we do not have to do so much.
07:20You must be going to different areas for training.
07:23Did you feel any difference in different areas like Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan?
07:31We saw talent in the children here.
07:33The children themselves tell us to teach this and that.
07:37If we were teaching one thing, they would force us to do something else.
07:41They told us to teach this today.
07:43I am very happy that these women have the determination to move forward.
07:48They have the hope that they will not only improve themselves,
07:51but also improve their area, their children, their families, their province and their country.
07:58And because we want to move the country forward,
08:00they are going to raise slogans with me.
08:02Pakistan.
08:03Long live.
08:04Today we showed you Rekrutik.
08:06The place you read about and hear about in the news.
08:09Today we showed you that place.
08:11The construction has just begun.
08:13And this journey has just begun.
08:15After that, we showed you the place from where people have to come.
08:21The people have to come and work there.
08:24Our journey today has come to an end.
08:26But this is the beginning of the journey of Pakistan's progress.
08:30And may Allah enable us to see so many successes in this journey of Pakistan that the world can see.
