Sathio

Sathio (سٺيو,, सठयो) is a Sindhi Sammat tribe mainly in district Tando Muhammad Khan, Sindh, Pakistan. There are some families in Karachi, Hyderabad, and Thatta in Pakistan, as well as in India and the UK.

Origins
Many researchers believe that Sathio is a sub-clan within the Samma lineage, a group often identified as belonging to the broader Rajput community.

Education
In the past, most Sathias were primarily engaged in agriculture, with education often not a priority. However, societal shifts in recent decades have led to a notable transformation, with individuals from the community now pursuing diverse career paths, resulting in more doctors, engineers, civil servants, educators, development specialists, bankers, IT professionals, journalists, communicators, and entrepreneurs.

A burgeoning educational landscape exists within and surrounding the Sathia areas, comprising public and private schools and colleges.

There is a network of the Sindh Government's middle, elementary and primary schools in Sathia villages, including:
 * Union council Allah Yar Turk: Bhale Dino Sathio (primary and elementary), Ghulam Hussain Sathio, Gul Muhammad Sathio, Haji Peeroo Sathio, Haji Sajan Sathio, Hassan Sathio and Moledino Sathio
