Sharifani (Sindhi: شريفاڻي), also known as Upper Sharifani (Sindhi: مٿيان شريفاڻي), is a village located in northwestern Sindh, in the Qambar Shahdadkot District. It lies approximately 7 km (4.3 mi) from Kamber and 24 km (15 mi) from Larkana. Originally named Mehrabpur and primarily inhabited by Hindus, it was later renamed Sharifani for unknown reasons.[citation needed]
Agriculture has traditionally been the main occupation of the villagers. However, as the population grows, many residents have transitioned to business, government, and private sector jobs. A significant number have also migrated to other countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, for employment. Farming skills are passed down to children at a young age, reflecting the village's agricultural roots.[citation needed]
The village has a patriarchal social structure. Notably, around 98% of Sharifani's population is literate, highlighting the community's emphasis on education.[citation needed]
