Conclusion and major Development Issues
In Awaran, no formal sports opportunities exist. The youth of the area has much potential in sports but without proper guidance and training it is very difficult to carry out such activities. No NGO exists in the district. There is a dire need to organise the people to actively take part in sports. The major issues in this sector are poverty, lack of organisation, and an apathetic attitude of the government.
