A native of Khuri Batpora in District Kulgam, he has emerged as a prominent figure within the Department of Youth Services and Sports (YSS), leaving a profound impact on young athletes and the region’s sporting culture.
Currently serving as a Rehbar-e-Khel teacher and holding the position of District Publicity Coordinator (Incharge Media and Publicity) for YSS Kulgam, Zahoor has injected fresh energy into the district’s sports scene. His ability to document and showcase events with passion and detail has not only elevated the department’s profile but also ensured that budding athletes receive the recognition they deserve.
According to a senior YSS official, Zahoor possesses a rare talent for highlighting even the smallest sporting activities. By leveraging his media and communication skills, he has brought grassroots events to the public eye. His consistent coverage of tournaments and training sessions has given young players the joy of seeing their achievements acknowledged, motivating them to aim higher and stay committed to sports.
Beyond district boundaries, Zahoor’s contributions extend to inter-zone, inter-district, inter-division, and UT-level tournaments. Widely respected for his hard work, integrity, and professionalism, he has set new benchmarks in promoting and organizing sporting activities.
Yet Zahoor’s mission goes beyond mere publicity. His efforts in engaging communities and encouraging youth participation in sports have kept many young people away from drugs and other social evils. Through his work, he continues to channel youthful energy toward positive pursuits, advocating for healthier and more active lifestyles.
What distinguishes Zahoor is not only his professional achievements but also his personal qualities. His humility, respect for elders, and friendly rapport with youth make him a true community leader and role model. For many, he is more than just a sports promoter—he is an inspiration, embodying sincerity, dedication, and love for society.
Zahoor Andraabi’s journey is a living example of how passion and commitment can transform not only a department’s visibility but also shape the future of an entire generation.
