Dr Sultan S. Hashmi, renowned demographer and a seniorcolleague at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, passedaway on August 31, 2000. His loss is deeply felt by PIDE and the entirecommunity of social scientists in Pakistan. Dr Hashmi introduceddemography as a discipline at PIDE, and then through it in Pakistan. Hesuccessfully applied his energies to raising the standards ofdemographic research as well as securing USAID endowment funds tosupport and sustain it. Many demographers of international repute, andcertainly those working currently in Pakistan, owe much to hispatronage, guidance, and encouragement.
