A global agreement of seventeen feasible points for the welfare of human beings which is named as sustainable development goals is confirmed by the world leader in the United Nations Conference on sustainable development goals. The first component of agenda for post 2015 development is to decrease poverty in its all forms everywhere but without economic empowerment of the people particularly from far flung areas it cannot be elevated until balance distribution of natural resources. The below mentioned paper is written with the same approach to follow these global initiatives in Pakistan.

The rural areas of our region are in grip of ultra-poverty particularly among agricultural labour. The rapid increase in population needs increase in their incomes which is only possible through redistribution of natural resources particularly land holdings which should be balanced for socio economic development of common man. The major issues in Sindh land holdings have been summed up by examining it through in-depth analysis using both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

The study concludes that imbalanced land holdings creates socio economic problems in two ways first the large tracts of land ownerships strength feudalism and second small land holding, both kinds creates various social ills in the society rural society i.e. poverty, less freedoms, limited market access, small scale economic empowerments which needs dire attention of policy makers for their strategic vision to redistribute natural resources as per the need of the hour in global scenario not only, for the socio economic development in the region but to create equal opportunities for their country man in era of sustainable development.
