Ratnipora (Ratanpur), is a village in the Pulwama district of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, situated equally distant from three towns, Awantipora, Pulwama and Pampore. The name Ratnipora is a combination of two words, "Ratan" meaning jewel, and "Pur" meaning place.
Education[]
Ratnipora has an above average literacy rate for the region, which, as per the 2011 Census, is 71.44% compared to 67.16% for Jammu and Kashmir. In Ratnipora male literacy stands at 82.46% while female literacy rate was 60.42%. Ratnipora has a very high number[peacock prose] of residents who have completed higher education. It is home to some of the most prominent poets and educationists of the Kashmir Valley.[citation needed] The people mainly rely on government jobs, but agriculture is also practiced by one-third of the population.
It is fondly called the "Land of Poets".[citation needed] Sheikh Umar[which?] can be ascribed a great contribution in educating the current late septuageneraian and octagenaraian muslim men. He taught Qur'an.
Religious info[]
While there are five Jamia Masjids, there are more than 30 small Masjids and a Hindu temple. Ratnipora was also inhabited by thirty Hindu ( Kashmiri Pandit) households who lived in perfect harmony with their Muslim neighbours but had to leave their homes & hearths in the year 1990 due to disturbed situation in Kashmir valley.
Potamology[]
Ratnipora was inhabited on the banks of trout stream namely "Naalaye Laar" and there are four bridges connecting the two parts. To the Northwest flows a river called Romush coming from Pahoo while to the Southwest flows a stream namely "Bren Kuol" coming from Puchhal, and all the three streams meet Jehlum in southern outskirts of Ratnipora. Recently a railway halt station has been sanctioned to Ratnipora and its construction is under process.
