2023 KOJAIN Directory/Census
KOJAIN has launched the 10th Directory/Census initiative on Nov 7th 2023.
Get yourself counted!
This is an important census milestone for KOJAIN that is happening after 10 years and your support is invaluable to this initiative. We are very grateful to all those who have registered and helped with data collection. And we are very thankful to the generous support of Nainil Chheda (Nani Khakar, MA) and his team for providing the framework for directory registration, necessary security updates to the website and more.
After a year on Nov 2024, We are thrilled to announce that the KOJAIN Online Directory is now live and ready for all Life Members to access with their login credentials!
Phase 1 – Focused on registration. We reached out to the vibrant Kutchi community across North America, encouraging everyone to join our growing network. At present there are around 1150 registered members. We expect this number to be higher.
Phase 2 – Our dedicated KOJAIN Directory team has verified the life membership status of all registered members and updated our database. This phase is complete now. This means that all registered Life Members can now explore and connect with other members seamlessly. By the way, out of 500+ KOJAIN Life members, we only have approximately 300 who have completed their registration.
🔍 Discover and Connect! 🔍 On the Members page, you can search for fellow members by name, city, state, or even their village in Kutch. Dive into the community and start building meaningful connections today! For more details, check out our Login FAQ tabs.

Some of the frequently asked questions for registration page
Q. How to register?
Step by Step video of Registration Steps
Q. Who should register?
A. Every family (residing in the USA, Canada, Mexico) can register. Every family needs one single registration. Primary Members should add all relevant information for spouse and children. For children above 25, please create an independent registration. If the primary account is registered and has added their spouse’s email, then the spouse will get an error while creating a new registration for their family (We want to avoid duplicate registration from the same family).
Q. What does the “Check Email” on the registration page mean?
A. On the registration page, every user will need to verify their email address by clicking on the “Check Email button”. This check is mandatory for everyone and will also avoid filling up remaining data if your spouse has already registered for your family.
Q. What will happen once I register?
A. After registration everyone will receive an email with the subject “[KOJAIN] Activate your account”. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t find this activation email. Unless the account is activated, you will not be able to view and edit your own profile.
Q. What happens if I miss activating my profile?
A. If you miss activating your profile and try to login using the registered email, it will give you an option to resend the activation email.
The registration does not ask for a password.
Q. How is this account secure?
A. Every time a user wants to login, they will get a one time password (OTP) for their registered email address and can use the OTP for successful login.
Q. I am a life member, but it is still giving me a buy membership option.
A. We will need manual effort to verify and mark life members in the database. Until data verification is completed, all users will see the option of “Buy membership” once they login.
Q. How do I verify if I completed the registration earlier?
A. After activation, you can verify your registration details using following steps
-
- Click on Login button from right corner
- Enter your email address you have registered with
- Get OTP from your email and enter
- You will see your Profile details.
Q. Why am I unable to view other members?
A. KOJAIN Registered Life members can only view other Registered Member information. We encourage everyone to become Life members. KOJAIN Life members will be able to view other member information once manual verification has been done by KOJAIN BOD.
Q. Why don’t I find any occupation for s/w engineer or Gastroenterologist etc?
A.Occupation field has generic occupations like Engineer (instead of chemical, civil, computer, s/w, h/w etc), Doctor (instead Family practice, eye surgeon, gastro etc). We will add another field in future to modify and be more specific. If you don’t find a matching occupation field then feel free to select “Other” as an occupation for now.
