JAMMU: A total of 132 students from three fresh batches of Government SPMR College of Commerce, Jammu, successfully completed their summer internship at the Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI), Bari Brahmana campus.

The internship aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which mandates a 60-hour internship for undergraduate students. The programme aimed to foster entrepreneurial thinking, research skills and teamwork among participants.

During the 10-day internship, students were introduced to JKEDI’s core functions and programme areas. They gained insights into entrepreneurship development, startup ecosystems and self-employment opportunities in J&K. The schedule included interactive lectures, assignments, field visits and sessions led by JKEDI faculty and startup experts.

Students appreciated the programme’s practical orientation, especially sessions on government schemes, business models and startup financing. The internship was conducted by expert faculty under the overall supervision of the Director JKEDI. The Institute routinely organises such internships to promote entrepreneurship and raise awareness about self-employment as a viable career path.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
