population figure for Our Samaj of KUTCHI LEVA PATEL is not available at
perfect figures but our Samaj should work to do it by step by step and from
village to village in
Presently we approximate 60,000+ census in BHUJ Kutch Samaj, 12-15+ thousands in Africa SAMAJ, 35-40+ thousands in UK and rest 5000+ total to be approximate to 1,20,000. But all this figures are approximate and accurately can be done only by correct census counting.
Vagad KUTCHI LEVA PATEL SAMAJ has census double of our census and is to be approximate 2,00,000 +
