According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 2023 census, this settlement has a total population of 161 individuals, including 92 males and 69 females. Males constitute 57.1 percent, while females make up 42.9 percent of the population.

Literacy Status of Hamiat Singh Wala
The literacy rate of this village stands at 45.3 percent for the population aged 10 years and above. This falls substantially below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a negative gap of 17.55 percentage points. Male literacy in Hamiat Singh Wala stands at 59.0 percent, which is lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 8.97 points.
Female literacy is 26.7 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 30.74 points. The figures reveal critically low educational performance that severely lags behind district benchmarks in both gender categories, with female literacy facing particularly acute challenges.
This pattern suggests that urgent and comprehensive educational interventions are needed across the community, with critical emphasis on girls’ education to help achieve parity with regional standards and bridge the substantial gender literacy gap.
Academic Credentials Breakdown
- Primary but below Matric: 8 males and 3 females
- Matric but below Degree: 2 males and 0 females
- Degree and above: 0 males and 0 females
These numbers demonstrate minimal educational participation across gender lines. The data shows only 3 women completing primary education, with zero females reaching matriculation or achieving degree-level qualifications. The complete absence of any degree holders of either gender represents a total educational void at the tertiary level.
What is particularly concerning is that out of 106 people aged 10 and above, only 48 individuals have any literacy, and the extremely limited number progressing beyond primary education indicates severe educational constraints in this small settlement.
Village Composition of Hamiat Singh Wala
Out of the total population, there are 160 Muslims, while 1 individual belongs to other faiths. The literacy-eligible population aged 10 years and above is 106. The adult population aged 18 years and above is 78, while senior citizens aged 60 years and above number 5. This indicates a community with a robust working-age demographic and a healthy elderly segment.
