Each of us must remember the thrilling evening of August 2018. History was going to be made. Hearts were racing, and the nation of Pakistan, especially its youth, was on the seventh sky. And why not? After all, Pakistan was on the verge of entering into a radically new phase. The seventy years long status quo was on the brink of breaking.
And then..
We received the news regarding the victory of Tehreek-e-Insaf and its most famous leader, Imran Khan, in the general elections of 2018. With this victory, people were delighted. They had been dreaming of a sincere leader for Pakistan, and in the form of Imran Khan, their lifelong dream came true.
With great power comes great responsibility…
Imran Khan’s popularity among Pakistanis was not a hidden fact. Even before joining politics, he was pretty popular among the people of Pakistan for his achievements in sports (particularly the 1992 world cup that Pakistan won under his captainship) and his philanthropist activities, the greatest of which was the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital for the cancer patients.

So, when in 2018, his party won the election, and he became the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the expectations were remarkably high. People saw in him a magician who would wipe out every disaster from Pakistan and instantly turn it into a developed country. So, after three years, when the outcomes are not up to the expectations of the commoner, the nation is frustrated. We can’t blame them. We can’t blame the government either. In fact, in a country where everything is on the verge of just being shunned, transformation can not come overnight and sometimes even in decades.
Imran Khan – The Light of Hope at the End of a Dark Tunnel
Suppose we overview the performance of Imran Khan’s administration during the last three years (Not to mention, he has two years left in authority to complete his government time). In that case, we can see lots of positive changes in nearly all the fields. From economy to education, technology to tourism, foreign policy to the national interest, we can see his hard work and sincere efforts bringing Pakistan back on track. Bear in mind; all these are long impacted policies; that’s why outcomes are not evident right now, but we will witness them in the upcoming years.
100 Achievements of Imran Khan after becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan
So, let’s have a look at the 100 best policies and achievements of Imran Khan after becoming PM, to bring Pakistan back on the right track.
1. Construction Amnesty Scheme
The government of Pakistan has announced a construction amnesty scheme for the construction industry of Pakistan. The scheme was launched in 2019. In this scheme, anyone can invest their untaxed money in construction projects all over Pakistan. This scheme went very successful as it not only increased the circulation of money but also increased the employment ratio.
2. First time Pakistan made smartphone exported
Pakistan has exported about 5500 4G smartphones to UAE recently which were completely made in Pakistan . Imran khan’s business supportive policies have made this milestone possible in only just three years after becoming PM. Imran Khan is trying to adopt the ‘Made in Pakistan’ strategy to boost the country’s economy. Moreover, about 21 international mobile companies, have been given the authorization to manufacture and assemble smartphones in Pakistan.
3. Progress on CPEC Projects
Despite all the negative propaganda of opposition against Imran Khan regarding CPEC projects, the CPEC is going on smoothly. Although the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic somehow slowed down the progress, again it has come back on track. Several new major projects, which are part of CPEC have been initiated and completed in the government of Imran Khan, as said by Federal Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Minister Asad Umar.
4. New Dams construction
The experts have already warned that there wouldn’t be water in Pakistan by 2023 if the new dams are not built.
Imran Khan’s government is no doubt, praiseworthy for starting building 10 new dams in his government, the need of the hour projects of Pakistan, which are likely to be completed by 2028. Among these dams, Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dams are mega projects. Their construction is smoothly going on the sites and the project will be completed by 2025 hopefully.
5. New Legislation for the protection of women
Imran Khan’s government has started serious work on women and children protection. The laws of Anti Rape Ordinance (2020), Criminal law (Amendment) 2020, Legal Aid And justice Authority Act (2020), Domestic violence bill (2019), Zainab alert response and recovery act (2020), Women Property Right Act 2020, etc were passed in the parliament for prevention of ever-increasing women-related crimes in the country.
6. New legislation against money laundering
Pakistan is on the watch list of FATF and can be blacklisted anytime. This means unimaginable damage and lots of sanctions on the country. That’s why Imran Khan worked on this ground actively and managed to pass three FATF-related Anti Money Laundering Bills in the year 2020, to harden the money laundering from Pakistan, to protect Pakistan from being blacklisted.
7. Current account deficit
In the year 2018, when the new government came into power, the current account deficit was $20 billion. Now due to the right strategies opted by the government, it has come down to almost $1.8 billion, which is a huge difference indeed.
8. Foreign reserves
When PTI came into power, the foreign reserves were $16.4 billion. Now when it has been almost three years since Imran Khan is leading government, the foreign reserves have reached almost $ 27 billion, the highest in the history of Pakistan. This clearly shows that we are on the right track on the road to development.
9. Foreign Remittance
If we talk about the foreign remittance, they were $19.9 billion back in 2018 when Imran Khan became the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He put into practice, the effective economic strategies to increase it up to $29.4 billion , definitely much better than in the former governments. He is trying his best to make Pakistan stand on its feet rather than to depend upon other countries.
10. Karachi nuclear power plant 2
It is indeed great news that Karachi nuclear power plant 2 has started working in the year 2021 and phase 3 is likely to be completed by 2022. Both phases two and three have a power generation capacity of 1100 MW and have been built with the help of Chinese investment.
11. One nation-one curriculum
We have been hearing about the importance of a single curriculum but nobody took a serious step for its implementation, except Imran Khan, who turned it into reality.
This will surely bring a positive change as a single curriculum will remove the class difference among the education system. Otherwise, there were different curriculums for students of different social classes, which made them somehow inferior in front of a certain class group.
The National single curriculum has been applied in the whole of Pakistan except Sindh. It will be completely implemented in Pakistan from 2023 onwards.
12. Kamyab Jawan Program
Imran khan’s main supporter in elections was youth and to facilitate this enthusiastic youth of Pakistan, Imran Khan has initiated Kamyab Jawan Program. This aims to provide technical and financial support for the startups of Pakistan. This will promote entrepreneurship among youth as well as solve employment issues to great extent.
13. Electric vehicle policy
Recently, Imran Khan has paved a way for the revolution in the vehicle industry of Pakistan by his Electric Vehicle Policy 2020-2025. Though the initial costs of electric vehicles are quite higher, they will become comparable with Fossil fuels vehicles by 2025. Moreover, the government is providing full support for the public and private sector to turn this policy into a great success, providing up to zero percent income and sales tax on all the equipment imported for this purpose.
14. Reforms in Bureaucracy
Imran Khan has approved Civil Servants (E&D) Rules-2020 to ensure the fair account of the civil service. This is the part of government policy of institutional reforms to improve the performance of bureaucracy and state institutions. For the first time, under this law, the inquiries must be done within 90 days, along with the plea bargain and voluntary return flexibility.
15. Best ties with armed forces in history
The relationship between the civil government and the military always gone up and down throughout the history of Pakistan. The nonserious behavior of the civil government and their indifference towards national interests, always created problems for the smooth democratic process in Pakistan.
The situation is completely different in the case of the government of Imran Khan. It would not be wrong to say that civil-military relations are on the best terms as compared to the previous governments of PML-N and PPP. The wise strategy of Imran Khan is behind these friendly ties.
16. Ahsas Emergency Relief Fund
For the first time in the history of Pakistan, we got to see a completely different face of government when it distributed money for the low-income group people, during the hard days of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, Pakistan looked like some foreign welfare state, which looks after its citizens like a mother. Almost Rs 180 billion was distributed among citizens as a relief during the pandemic under the Ahsas Program. The amount was given after proper investigation so that it can reach the needy citizen, rather than influential ones.
17. Production of medical equipment
The government of Pakistan under the leadership of Imran Khan, set to save around $1.4 billion which is being used in importing medical equipment. During the pandemic, Pakistan has started manufacturing even ventilators, which has now reached about 1150 ventilators/month. Moreover, medical zones are being set up to manufacture syringes, needles, cannulas, cartridges, wires, cables, cardiac stents, x-ray, and dialysis machines in Pakistan.
18. New hydropower projects
Two new hydropower projects have been initiated in the government of Imran Khan, Azad Pathan, and Kohala hydropower projects.
Azad Pattan Hydropower Project started on the Jhelum River, has a capacity of 700.7-MW. The Chinese company has invested 1.54 billion U.S. dollars for this project and the construction period of the project is around 69 months. This hydropower project will generate about 3.265 billion units of energy/ year along with a relief for the water shortage problem.
19. High-speed Broadband services for backward areas
To make the dream of Digital Pakistan true, the government of Pakistan has approved a contract worth Rs8.81 million to make sure the high-speed internet facility to the backward areas of Sindh, Balochistan, KPK, and Punjab. Moreover, contracts were made with local mobile internet companies too, under the Next Generation Broadband for Sustainable Development policy, worth Rs 4.7 billion to serve about 0.98 million people.
20. Roshan Digital Account initiative
Overseas Pakistanis are important assets for Pakistan, despite being out of the country. To facilitate them, Imran Khan initiated the Roshan Digital Account for them in the year 2020. This helps overseas Pakistanis to open and manage their accounts in Pakistani banks effectively. Roshan digital account services have increased the RDA deposits by over $200 billion by August 2021.21. Ahsas Undergraduate Scholarships
Imran Khan’s government has started a marvelous scholarship scheme for the needy and meritorious students of undergraduate level. For this purpose,50,000 scholarships of Rs. 20 billion will be awarded to undergraduate students (50 percent girls) during the period of the next 4 years.
22. Ahsas Nashunama Program
Imran Khan has been emphasizing upon stunted growth even before becoming PM. To tackle this serious issue, he has started Ahsas Nashunama Program in high-rated stunt growth areas to provide health and nutritional support to children under 23 months of age. Initially, 50 Nashunama Centres have been opened at the designated locations in nearly 14 districts of Pakistan.
23. Ahsas Amdan Program
Imran Khan has started another excellent scheme for setting up a personal business and eliminating poverty. This is Ahsas Amdan Program, in which Rs 15 billion is being allocated to help poor people start their businesses. It has started functioning in 375 union councils of the 23 poorest districts of Pakistan.
24. Ahsas Langar
In partnership with the Saylani Welfare International, the government of Pakistan has initiated the Ahsas Langar Program for the poor community. Under this contract,112 Langars will be opened during 2 years, all across Pakistan.
25. Sehat card
To facilitate the lower-income class regarding expensive medical treatment, the government of Pakistan has initiated the Sehat Insaf Card program which provides completely free treatment. At the moment, Punjab, KPK, AJK, GB, Newly Merged Districts of KPK, Tharparker are covered in this scheme along with the people with disabilities and transgender community having NADRA card , but the government is trying its best to expand it to the whole of Pakistan.
26. APNA Ghar housing
Imran Khan’s government put great emphasis on the housing sector. He paved a way for the low-income group of people of Pakistan to have their own house in this era of hard times. As we all know, buying a personal home is not less than a mere dream, that’s why this APNA Ghar housing scheme is no doubt, a great blessing for citizens of Pakistan. The proposals have been asked from the government as well as the private sector to build around 5 million homes at the designated location.
27. Panagah (Shelter homes)
Imran Khan is probably the first leader who initiated the concept of Panahgah. Here people can stay and have meals, completely free, in a neat and clean environment, with equal respect, no matter which class they belong. Panagah is playing the role of sanctuary for poor people who don’t have any place and money to stay in other places.
28. Overseas voting
Overseas Pakistanis are, no doubt an integral part of Pakistan, despite being out of the country. These people spend huge amounts of money on Pakistan which helps a lot economically. They have been asking for the right to vote for a long time. Now the government has deciding to permit them to cast vote in the next elections. This will surely help them to remain involved with the politics of Pakistan.
29. Electronic Voting Machines
Electronic voting machines are common in developed countries for a long time. Although there is some misconception present regarding results, yet it is considered as a source of the flawless voting process and minimizes the chances of illegal voting. Imran Khan’s government is trying its best to conduct the next elections on them so that there would not be an issue of cheating. That would be a great step indeed, for the fair elections.
30. Less protocol to save hard-earned money
The lavish protocol of the government officials has been a hot talk of the media always. Everyone complains whether it is morally or financially right for a poor country like Pakistan, to spend millions on protocols.
So Imran Khan tried to be the first one to reduce it. He announced there won’t be higher protocols for the government officials even for himself. That’s why there is a difference now. Recently, he has announced to go to private functions without any type of protocol.
31. Small residence instead of lavish PM house
With his victory in the 2018 elections, Imran Khan announced he wouldn’t live in the luxury Prime Minister house. Instead, he would live in a small, simple living place. This helped to save around Rs1.85 billion, which were spent annually on the PM House maintenance formerly.
Moreover, for the first time in the history of Pakistan, the doors of the Prime Minister’s house were opened for common people, so that they can see how well their hard-earned tax money is being used!
32. Auction of Government luxury cars
Imran Khan’s decisions reflect his sincere efforts for the well-being of Pakistan. There were almost 102 luxury cars in the prime minister’s house. All were just an extra burden and around Rs 200 million were recovered from their auction, which were used for the betterment of the deteriorating economy.
33. Kisan program
We all know that Pakistan is an agricultural country and agriculture plays the role of backbone in our country’s economy. So to facilitate the agricultural sector and farmers, Imran Khan has initiated Kamyab Kisan Program. This aims to provide plants, tractors, and other agricultural resources to the farmers to help them scale up their business.
34. Ahsas Kafalat Program
Under this program, low-income class women will be given Rs 2000/month, after proper scrutiny, along with bank account and smartphones. Initially, only 70,000 women of seventy districts have been given a Kafalat card, to expand it to other parts of Pakistan too.
35. .Shuffling in cabinet
Imran Khan believes in the right candidate for the right job. This vision made him shuffle his cabinet members many times till this point. He is of the view it is never too late to realize and accept mistakes to perform better. So rather than keeping ineligible people on the important post, he shuffles them to give other people a chance to prove themselves.
36. No Compromise on Corruption Policy
The main slogan which made Imran Khan’s government so much popular in Pakistan was it’s a war against corruption. In a country like Pakistan, where corruption is just a Normal Everyday matter, Imran Khan waged war against it. This cause put him in the bad books of a lot of people. For the first time in Pakistan, we see numerous big fish behind the bars because of the corruption cases, which was a rare sight in former governments.
37. Investigation against own allies
No one doubts Imran Khan’s honesty, but it is also not necessary that an honest man gets an honest team. That is the case with Imran Khan. When some of his closest allies and friends, came under the radar of NAB, he started special inquiries even against them. This is something praiseworthy and hard to find the case in previous governments.
38. Green Stimulus Program
Green Stimulus Program was initiated to provide eco-friendly schemes to curb unemployment, protect the natural sites of Pakistan, and ensure eco-friendly economic growth. It will also help Pakistan to become an eco-conscious market in the world amid the global climate change crisis, which will bring a lot of foreign investment to the country.
39. 1.1 Trillion Karachi package
Imran Khan announced the Karachi development package worth Rs 1.1 trillion, for the first time in the history of Pakistan . Karachi, which is always neglected by the government, despite being the economic backbone of the country, will likely see positive transformation through this package.
40. Karachi circular train Inauguration
In September 2021, Imran Khan inaugurated the much-awaited and need of the hour project for Karachi, the Karachi circular train. Decades ago, it provided cheap and easy transportation facilities to Karachites, and the government of Imran Khan aims to bring back those glorious days to Karachi once again.
41. Karachi BRT
To fulfill the Karachi development package,40 green line buses have arrived in Karachi. At the ceremony,40 more buses were announced to come by October 2021, and the project’s first phase will likely be started in November 2021.No doubt, this will prove to be a great relief for Karachites.

43. Development Funds for Tribal areas

In the 2018, his speech got about 4 million views. This 4M times viewed speech in the 74th session of UNGA, highlighted various national and international issues significantly. Whether it was the issue of Kashmir, Palestine, Blasphemy, Islamophobia, or money laundering, he spoke his heart out without any pressure.
Although, he attended sessions of 2020 and 2021 virtually, yet he got 300K and 326k views respectively in them too. Whereas ,Indian PM got only 177k views along with other top world leaders who got under 100k views only.
46. Blue economy package for Karachi under CPEC
To utilize 1054 km long coastline and to promote the Blue Economy in Pakistan, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs is all set to bring, the huge Chinese investment of about $3.5 billion into Pakistan . This game-changer project named ‘Karachi Coastal Comprehensive Development Zone’, aims to transform Karachi into a world-class Port city. It will have a modern fishery port, about 20,000 affordable houses for nearby slums, a desalination plant, a fisheries export processing zone, and a harbor bridge connecting Manors and Sandpit Beach. It will surely change the face of Karachi along with sustaining eco-friendly economic growth.
47. Pakistan’s Addition in Methane Pledge Club
Due to the Imran khan’s eco-friendly projects and as an acknowledgment of Pakistan’s role to combat climate change, Pakistan got a special invitation to join the Methane Pledge Club, which it has accepted wholeheartedly.

Now Pakistan is among its 24 new members to create an eco-friendly environment.

50. Citizen portal app
For the first time in the history of Pakistan, the citizens have got the opportunity to enter their complaints in the prime minister’s office directly without any third party. The Prime Minister then takes notice of those complaints and a respective response is given. Moreover, it shows the status of complaining too so that citizens can check where they are standing in the resolution of their issues.
51. Kartarpur Corridor Opening
Imran Khan’s government came into power with the vision of creating better ties with neighbors including India, with whom Pakistan has fought three deadly wars. Despite the painful history, Imran Khan tried to give peace another chance and opened the Kartarpur Temple, a sacred place for Sikhs.
This step increased the popularity of Imran Khan and the soft image of Pakistan in India and especially among the Sikh community.
52. Peaceful Afghanistan Policy
Imran Khan always emphasized the political solution of the Afghan conflict rather than the military. Now the backup of Taliban and US forces withdrawal from Afghanistan has proved the right approach of Imran Khan. Moreover, after decades, the Pak-Afghan ties have become much better, under the leadership of Imran Khan.
53. Effective Foreign Policy
Imran khan’s foreign policies have clearly shown his understanding of the international affairs. After decades, Pakistan is going on the right track under the leadership of Imran Khan, shifting from traditional foreign policies to modern diplomatic rules.

Gilgit Baltistan was one of the most neglected areas of Pakistan. To comfort the people of Gilgit, Imran Khan has initiated a development project of Rs 370 billion, which will be spent on the tourism sector, education, and skill development of the youth of Gilgit Baltistan.
Moreover, the people of Gilgit have been demanding the status of the province but the former governments didn’t take their demands seriously. Now Imran khan’s government has granted a provincial status to Gilgit, with its provincial assembly, to comfort them, without backing from a firm stand on the Kashmir issue.
56. New Tourist Hotspot-Pakistan
Due to the e-visa and on-arrival visa policies, Pakistan is going to be one of the most attractive tourist spots.

57. TV channel to fight Islamophobia
To fight against blasphemy and Islamophobia, Imran Khan signed a contract with the prime ministers of Malaysia and Turkey in the 74th UNGA meeting. Under this contract, a BBC-like tv channel will be launched to highlight the issues of the Muslim world, along with the production of films, series, and documentaries on Islamic history, which will surely help to develop a better understanding of Islam in the world.
58. Release of Pakistani Prisoners from foreign jails
Imran Khan always keeps the overseas Pakistanis include in his policies even if they are prisoners in foreign jails. He took a personal interest to free a large number of prisoners from foreign jails of different countries. That’s why, around 8608 Pakistani prisoners have been released from overseas jails of KSA, Emirates, Thailand, Malaysia, etc during the past three years.
59. Huge investments in the Textile industry
To make the Imran Khan’s policy ‘Made in Pakistan’ true and decrease the imports, recently Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has agreed to invest around $5 billion in the deteriorating textile industry.

Palestine has been under the oppression of Israel for a long time but the whole world plays the role of a dumb and deaf audience under the influence of Israel. Though Pakistan has been emphasizing the right of freedom of Palestine, Imran Khan pointed out this critical issue on the world forums in a more effective way. He strongly condemned the oppression of helpless Palestine along with the aid during recent attacks on Gaza.
62. Prevention of deadly war with India
In 2019, when India removed the special status of Kashmir by removing section 370,35-A of its constitution, the clouds of war started accumulation over South Asia. That time too, Imran khan’s acted sensibly despite the full war mood of India. Imran Khan’s government even returned the captured pilot of the Indian air force, which was applauded internationally. On the other hand, Imran clearly warned the world of Deadly Consequences, in case of any misadventure.

64. Minimum wage for labors
It is a marvelous step taken by the Imran Khan government to increase the wages of the low-income group people and labor. This announcement was properly made in the budget of 2021 to 2022, according to which, the wages of laborers and the working class must be at least Rs 20,000.
65. Biometric verification for dollar purchase
To prevent the outflow of dollars from Pakistan and unpredictable situations in the country, the government has recently applied the condition of biometric verification on the purchase of $500 or more.

66. BRT Peshawar
Bus Rapid transit (BRT) was a long-awaited project which was finally opened for the public in 2020 by the government of Imran Khan.

Moreover, these roads are about three times more as compared to the roads constructed in former governments, with the saving of Rs 12 billion with the help of competitive bidding.
68. New universities
Imran Khan is well aware of the condition of education in Pakistan. After becoming PM, he inaugurated the number of universities for the students of Pakistan. The University of chakwal, University of Hafizabad, Namal knowledge City Phase 1, Pak-Austria Facchochschule institute, Sialkot University of Engineering and Technology, etc are, to name a few.
69. Highest Tax Revenue
In the previous governments, the citizens were not used to pay taxes as they did not trust the government. Imran Khan ensured citizens of Pakistan that their hard-earned tax money will be spent on themselves rather than on the luxuries of government officials. The Pakistani nation believes in the honesty of Imran Khan as his former track record of philanthropy is clean. That’s the reason now the tax revenue in Imran khan’s government has increased from $3800 billion to $4700 billion in just three years.
70. Pension increment
Imran Khan has granted an increment of up to 10% in the pensions of the old citizens. This is another step of Pakistan towards Riyasat-e-Madina, which takes care of its old citizens.
71. Less expensive foreign visits
Imran Khan has done the record less expensive foreign visits as compared to the former governments of PML-N and PPP. Only $680,000 was spent on his 12 foreign visits which are just half of one visit in the former governments.
Moreover, he does not take unnecessary officials with him on his foreign visits, unlike previous governments.
72. .No more ‘Do More’
The ties with America have always remain unpredictable for Pakistan. Despite losing millions of dollars and precious lives of Pakistanis, nothing was satisfactory for America who always demanded Do More from Pakistan. Only Imran Khan has the guts to tell America that there won’t be any Do More, anymore. Imran Khan refused clearly to let America use the land of Pakistan for the wars of other countries and to put the lives of Pakistanis in danger once again.
73.Privatization of Steel Mills
The deteriorating condition of steel Mills was not a hidden fact. It was nearly stopped giving profits since 2015. Imran Khan took a bold decision to privatize the Steel Mill. For the same purpose, the government has put its 51 to 74 percent shares for sale, intending to stand it on its feet once again.
74.Allama Iqbal Industrial City Inauguration
With the help of Chinese investment, under the umbrella of CPEC, Imran Khan inaugurated the Special economic zone, Allama Iqbal Industrial City, near Sahiwal.

Under the leadership of Imran Khan, Pakistan is all set to shift towards digitalization. To make this vision reality, Imran Khan has initiated a Digital Pakistan Program which aims to provide better connectivity, e-governance, building digital infrastructure, teaching innovative skills and a sense of entrepreneurship among youth, etc.
77. NAB recoveries in corruption cases
Due to the strict policies of the government against corruption and money laundering, the ratio of the money recovered in corruption cases has increased significantly. During the last three years of Imran Khan’s government, around Rs487 billion has been recovered by NAB in the corruption cases, which is indeed, a record amount.
78. Crypto Currency Policy
To keep pace with the changing world, Imran Khan has made a federal committee to set rules and regulations for the mining and trading of the CryptoCurrency in Pakistan, which is still not legalized in Pakistan. This will surely help in wealth creation and massive investment in the country. Moreover, the country’s first mining plant has already been set up in KPK province.
79. Eco-Resorts establishment
For the first time in Pakistan’s history, three eco-resorts have been initiated by the government in the Nagar Valley. It aims to promote the eco-sensitive tourism along with the employment opportunities for the locals. It has been opened, with the cost of Rs10 million through the local conservation committee, covering a total of 10 kanals , and ensuring the protection of local Wild Tigers.
80. Special care for Balochistan
Balochistan has been neglected by the former governments despite being the largest and the most natural resourceful province. Imran Khan has taken a special interest in the development of Balochistan.
