This article deals with estimation of finite population mean using the auxiliary proportion under simple and two phase sampling scheme utilizing two auxiliary variables. Mathematical expressions for the mean squared errors of the proposed estimators are derived under first order of approximation. We compare the proposed class of estimators "theoretically and numerically" with the usual mean estimator of Naik and Gupta [
