Renala Khurd

Renala Khurd (Punjabi, Urdu: رِينالہ خُورد) is a city in the Okara District in Punjab, Pakistan. It serves as the administrative headquarters of Renala Khurd Tehsil and sits at an elevation of approximately 570 feet (170 m) above sea level.[citation needed] The city is located about 116 kilometres (72 mi) from Lahore, the provincial capital, and 18 kilometres (11 mi) from Okara, the district's capital. Positioned southwest of Lahore, it lies along the national highway (GT Road) and the main Karachi–Peshawar Railway Line.

While Khurd is of Persian origin, meaning small, while Renala translates to "Mother of Forests". Renala Khurd is renowned for its lush gardens, forests, and fruit orchards.[citation needed]

With a radius of 7 km, it is home to 100,054 inhabitants. The population of Renala Khurd is over 99% Muslim. It has a Sunni majority and a Shia minority; there are also small groups of Christians.[citation needed]

Due to its strategic location in the Indian sub-continent, many migrants have poured into the area and settled on its fertile lands. The people of Renala Khurd are descendants of Iranians, Turks, Afghans and Arabs who came individually or in groups.[citation needed]

Haryanavi, Punjabi, Ranghari and Urdu are basic languages of the people. [citation needed]

The University of Okara, previously known as the University of Education Okara campus, is 1 km west of the city. It was inaugurated in 2005 by then Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.[citation needed]
