JAMMU: The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Central University of Jammu, organized an educational and technical visit to the Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL), Mohali.  The visit offered participating students a valuable opportunity to gain exposure to the nation’s premier semiconductor research and development facility.

Under the guidance of eminent scientists and engineers at SCL, the students observed advanced processes including cleanroom operations, wafer fabrication, lithography, etching, doping, and semiconductor packaging. They also toured testing laboratories, where integrated circuits are rigorously validated prior to their use in critical sectors such as space, defence, and high-speed communication systems.

A total of 25 students from the 2nd and 3rd year of the B.Tech. ECE program took part in the visit.This initiative reflects the vision of Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Central University of Jammu, Prof. Sanjeev Jain and aligns closely with the goals of India’s Semiconductor Mission.

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.
