Qadir Bux Memon has resemblance with this great personality who is also a scholar, writer, and poet. He strived a lot in the promotion of education as well as social welfare activities. He was born on 16^th February 1938 in village of near Sita Road. He received his primary education from his native village, and completed his final (Sindhi) from Mehar and secured first 1^st position in 1953.

             He started his early career as primary teacher in village of Allah Rakhio Gorchani Taluka Mirprkhas. There he was restricted from teaching by a sardar (feudalist). Sardar said they would allow him to teach children so, Mr Memon you must close the school. He faced many difficulties but he did not lose his hope. Later, he was transferred to Weiji School.

Primary School (Bathi) G.P.S Syed Ali Akbar Shah are few of them. One of his achievements is the Memon Mohla Primary School Sita Road. Now it has been upgraded to middle school.

One of his old friends Rasool Bux Memon said that I have never meet such a good person who has devoted his life for the welfare of others. Now a day he is working on Shah jo Risalo on the topic of (Shah Abdul Latif ji shair main boli te bajh).

            He generally wears kurta and shalwar and Sindhi topi. Qadir wrote a book with the title of “Qalandri Kachkol”. He also wrote many proses, poems on saints such as, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, Qalandar Lal Shahbaz, Saadi Moosani and Suleman Sedani which got much appreciation. He was awarded with many certificates such as Afreen Naama. He has written poetry which is unpublished yet.One of his poetry is quoted here.
