Jat Gotras in Muzaffarnagar

I thought to study the distribution pattern of Jat Gotras in the Muzaffarnagar district in Uttar Pradesh. There are no ready records or studies as such. So I took the life-membership list of Jat Jagriti Smarika - 2006, Published by Janpad Jat Mahasabha Muzaffarnagar. It gives details of life members’ names, addresses, place of origin, gotra and phone numbers of Jat families living in Muzaffarnagar city.

The two attributes Jat gotra and place of origin were brought on excel file, tabulated and shorted out. There is an interesting result which gives which jat gotra is from which village. This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as a number out of total jat families (263) in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


The Jat Directory gives details of 263 Jat families who are life members. They are from 60 gotras. The figure after gotra is the count out of 263 from which we can roughly assess comparative population of that gotra in the district. Here is the list:
