A Short History of Sopore: Embracing Rich Heritage and Unveiling Aspirations
Sopore, a renowned city in the northern region of the Kashmir Province in India, is located on the banks of the Jehlum River, just 8 kilometers away from the expansive Wular Lake. This lake, known as one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, serves as a major attraction for tourists visiting the Kashmir Valley.
Celebrated for its picturesque landscapes, apple orchards, and a populace characterized by educational awareness and maturity, Sopore takes its name from the Utpala engineer and irrigation minister Suyya, who served during the reign of King Avantivarman in 880 CE. Over the years, Sopore has been a breeding ground for distinguished Sufi poets, including Rahim Sopori, as well as successful businessmen and politicians. The city has also played a significant role in producing notable educators, doctors, and engineers, contributing to the overall development of the Kashmir state.
Despite its rich cultural and educational heritage, Sopore has faced challenges in keeping pace with modern developments, particularly in the realm of healthcare. The tehsil’s population, along with its surroundings, amounts to approximately 0.5 million, yet the available healthcare facilities are limited.
Our objective is to establish the groundwork for a high-quality, world-standard healthcare facility in the region. This facility will evolve over time into an advanced and modern multi-disciplinary health center, addressing the pressing healthcare needs of Sopore and its neighbouring areas
