JAMMU: A batch of 73 college students including 43 from Government SPMR College of Commerce Jammu and 30 from Government College for Women Gandhi Nagar successfully completed their summer internship at the Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI).

The students underwent a 10-day (60-hour) internship, which commenced on June 2, 2025 at Bari Brahmana campus of the institute. As per National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 guidelines, the internship program was aimed at developing the entrepreneurial and research acumen among students.

The internship included hands-on activities and interactive sessions providing students a real-world experience of business and startups. Key highlights of the program included business simulation exercises, startup ecosystem orientation, business idea generation workshops, research assignments, SWOT analysis sessions and market surveys. These activities helped the students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and practical insights into how businesses are planned, launched and sustained.

The program aimed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, fostering a spirit of innovation and self-reliance among the youth of Jammu and Kashmir.

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.
