PAKISTAN
1955

Reports of Affiliates and Committees of The World Calendar Association, International, presented at the Ninth Annual Meeting 16 January 1956, reflect the world-wide interest in and need for calendar reform. Published highlights (JCR Vol. 25, Dec. 1955 - Jan. 1956) for PAKISTAN:

During the month of August a new committee for calendar reform was established in Pakistan through the efforts of Professor colin Jackson, who did promotional work for The World Calendar Association while on a trip to the Far East. Professor Jackson was able to secure the services of Mr. Sharaf Faridi of Karachi as Chairman of this Committee.

Mr. Faridi reports that he had had discussions with important individuals on the subject and has been successful in arousing the interest of the Pakistan Student council. He plans an extensive program to introduce The World Calendar to the people of Pakistan.
