What are the Effects of one unit scheme?

The One Unit Scheme, primarily implemented in Pakistan in the 1950s, aimed to consolidate the administration and governance of West Pakistan by creating a single province. Its effects included a centralized approach to resource allocation and decision-making, which marginalized regional identities and cultures. This led to increased political tensions and dissatisfaction among smaller provinces, ultimately contributing to the demand for greater autonomy and federalism in the country. The scheme's legacy continues to influence Pakistan's political landscape and regional dynamics.
