Memon Population Census

A joint committee of WMOPC and All Pakistan Memon Federation (APMF)  was formed under the Chairmanship of Mr. Abdul Razzak Vayani, WMOPC, and Mr. Shoaib Ghaziani as Co-Chairman representing  APMF, to carry out the census of the Memon community in Pakistan. Meetings of the committee were held with various Jamats/Welfare Organisations to expedite data collection of the community.

Printed Census Forms are available from the offices of WMOPC and APMF. Besides, the Census Form has also been put on our website (click here to download). The members of the Memon Community can download a printable form, fill-in the details and submit it to the office. They will also have the option to fill-in the forms online (to be made available shortly).

The Committee has requested all Memon Jamats to make it compulsory for all its members to fill-in the census forms for availing any benefit from the Jamat. This decision will go a long way in the collection of population data of the Memon Community.

The census work has been accelerated as a separate department has been established within WMO PC and full time employees have been employed for distributing Census Forms, its collection and recoding in the computer data.

We have already collected more than 15,000 forms from different sources. According to our estimate, the census work completed is hardly of 15% of the Memon community residing in Pakistan. The work is moving in the right direction and we hope to complete sizable part of the census by the end of 2009.
