nomads. For this purpose the study was carried out in the four areas in District Faisalabad. A sample of 120 respondents was
made from four randomly selected areas of District Faisalabad. A well designed interviewing schedule has been developed to
accomplish the task of collecting data. Whilst data thus collected was analyzed through percentage statistical technique.
Analytical conclusions are drawn and critical suggestions have been formulated on the basis of collected data. The present
study shows that the birth rate among nomads is very high i.e. 33.3 percent respondents have 5-10. The major source of
income for nomads was labour (67.5 percent) More than one fourth i.e. 38.5 percent of the respondents reported that the
