Districts of Sahiwal Division

Sahiwal District

A highly fertile, historic district on the N-5 National Highway, between the Ravi and Sutlej rivers. It is a major agricultural hub, home to the Harappa civilization site and a 1,320 MW coal-fired power plant — yet faces critical pressure on health, education, water, and road infrastructure.

Okara District

A predominantly agricultural district known for fertile lands and major crops including wheat, rice, sugarcane, maize, potato, and cotton, with significant livestock and dairy production. It faces poor infrastructure, health and education gaps, and very high youth NEET rates.

Pakpattan District

Largely agrarian southern Punjab, with strong dependence on agriculture and rural livelihoods. Despite its cultural significance as a major Sufi centre, the district faces persistent gaps in infrastructure, human development, and public services, with limited industry and weak rural connectivity.
