DODA: The two-day registration program, under the Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA), concluded successfully today at ANMT School Doda under the guidance of District Social Welfare Officer Zubair Ahmed Lone.

During the campaign, Gender Specialist Humerah Balwan addressed the students, highlighting the harmful effects of substance abuse and how addiction negatively impacts health, education and social life. She motivated the students to stay away from drugs and other addictive substances and to take part in the MyGov NMBA online quiz to enhance their awareness and commitment toward a Nasha Mukht Bharat.

The program concluded successfully with the active cooperation and support of the Principal, Vidhya Kotwal, whose assistance was instrumental in making the awareness initiative effective and impactful.

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.
