Simbal Camp, Refugee settlement in Jammu, India

Located 17 kilometers southwest of Jammu city, Simbal Camp extends across five wards and connects to the main urban area through Rspura Road.

Established after the 1947 partition of India, Mahant Raghbir Singh founded this settlement for refugees from Pakistan-administered Kashmir with government land allocation support.

The settlement maintains strong Sikh traditions with 98 percent of residents participating in annual events like Gurbani Kirtan Dewaan and Nagar Kirtan celebrations.

The settlement contains two separate high schools for boys and girls, plus a primary health center with general and dental medical services on weekdays.

From the early 2000s, families from Simbal Camp expanded internationally, with most households having at least one member studying or working in Western nations.
