Islamkot
Islamkot (Urdu: اِسلام كوٹ), (Sindhi: اسلام ڪوٽ) is a taluka in the Tharparkar District in Sindh, Pakistan. Hundreds of neem trees seen on Islamkot-Mithi, Islamkot-Chachro and Islamkot-Nagarparkar roads were planted during chairmanship of Nihalchand Pabani and under his care. For the same reason this region is also known as the Neem tree region.[1] The Hindu saint "Shri Sant Nenuram" was born here and Sant Nenuram Ashram located in this region was established by Nihalchand Pabani with the support of local people.[1] Each day twice free meal is served throughout the year in Sant Nenuram Ashram in form of "Bhandhara" which is available for everyone.[2]
