Minister Message

Water is one of the key resources that will shape our economic development through enabling economic growth together with social, political and environmental welfare of people. The water resources endowment of our country is our God given natural blessing. It is up to us all Pakistanis to develop it and use it judiciously in quenching our thirst, protect our health, produce enough food and energy, and manage the resource to overcome the horrific consequences of droughts and floods.

Irrigation is a basic determinant of agriculture because its inadequacies are the most powerful constraints on the increase of agricultural production. Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Irrigation Department has a long term vision for Irrigation Sector to provide adequate, equitable and reliable irrigation supplies to the cultivable lands of Khyber Pakhtumkhawa aiming at enhanced agricultural productivity with focus on  broad based institutional reforms.

Let me assure you that, as a Minister, I will lead and work tirelessly, hand in hand with the hard working men and women in the sector and outside the sector, to serve our province and country where its current and future citizens be reliant and proud of our achievements.
