SRINAGAR:  Indian Army in coordination with Jaipur based NGO, Bhagvan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS), organised an Artificial Limb Fitment and Assistance Camp for differently abled persons from 01-03 Aug 2024 at Anantnag and at Shopian on 06 Aug 2024.

The community-focused event was dedicated to provide differently abled locals, an opportunity to regain mobility and independence. The event aimed to make a positive difference in the lives of those who have faced a limb loss. The team of Prosthetic and Orthotic doctors, alongwith technicians, worked tirelessly throughout the camp, fitting artificial appendages for differently abled and thus giving them a new lease of life.

The Artificial Limb Fitment Camp proved to be a beacon of hope for the differently abled population of South Kashmir. Additionally, it served as a platform to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with limb loss and the importance of accessible healthcare services. The efforts made by the Jaipur based NGO (BMVSS) to reach out to the people of South Kashmir were universally praised. Locals also appreciated the Indian Army's support for such benevolent and humane initiative.

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.
