JAMMU: The Department of Zoology organized its first alumni meet today, in the Satish Dhawan Centre at Central University of Jammu. Under the patronage of Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sanjeev Jain, the alumni meet was a very successful event with wide participation of the former students of the department. Around 50 students registered for the meet and attended it with great enthusiasm.

The alumni meet began with lamp lighting and welcome address by the Head of the Department, Dr. Ashok Kumar Yadav. The Head placed on record that without the encouragement and vision of the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sanjeev Jain the alumni meet would not have been possible.

Dean, School of Life Sciences, Prof. Sunil Dhar was also present on the occasion and enlightened the students with his words of wisdom. The event was coordinated by Dr. Anjali Dhar. Other faculty members of the department, Dr. Shvetambri Jasrotia, Dr. Vinita Sharma and Dr. Praveen Kumar Mehta were also present.

The alumni shared their experiences about life after leaving Central University of Jammu. Many of them have been placed in prestigious institutes of the country such as IIT, IIIM, ICMR and Indian Army. Some of them are serving in other government offices and private enterprises as well. Nostalgic visit to the alma mater followed by a memorable cake cutting ceremony and lunch added to the warmth and nostalgia. The meeting reinforced the University’s strong bond with its alumni inspiring them to reunite again.

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.
