His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, provided his personal data to the Sharjah Census 2015 on Monday in support for the project and to encourage everyone to cooperate with the census teams.

The Sharjah Census 2015 was launched under the patronage of Dr Shaikh Sultan to collect statistical information to help decision-makers and organisations draw up plans to support of development and advancement of the emirate.
Shaikh Mohammed Al Thani thanked Dr Shaikh Sultan for providing his personal data, adding that he hoped it would motive everyone in the emirate to participate in the project and cooperate with staff and researchers. He praised the support given by Dr Shaikh Sultan to the Sharjah Census 2015 project and for his continued guidance on the necessary requirements for the successful implementation of the census.
Shaikh Mohammed Al Thani said that Dr Shaikh Sultan issued directives about the need to provide detailed data on specific categories: orphans; divorcees, widows, and abandoned wives; the elderly; people with special needs, people who were unable to complete their education and job seekers.
Following Dr Shaikh Sultan's directives, the necessary steps were taken to guide the 1,300 researchers working on the Sharjah Census 2015 to provide the required data and ensure it is ready on completion of the census to help improve the lives of those in these categories.
