SAMBA: The Office of the Chief Education Officer (CEO) Samba, in collaboration with ALIMCO Kanpur organised this year’s first Medical Assessment Camp for Children with Special Needs (CWSNs) at Government Higher Secondary School Vijaypur, today.

A large number of identified CWSNs, along with their parents and guardians, attended the camp. The Camp aimed to assess the requirement of the identified CWSNs for different assistive devices under the Education Department’s inclusive education initiatives.

The Chief Education Officer, in his address, highlighted the importance of inclusive education and assured that every effort is being made to provide necessary support to children with special needs for their holistic growth. He also informed the gathering about various welfare schemes, scholarships, and facilities available under the Education Department for CWSNs.

The Zonal Education Officer Vijaypur also addressed the parents and students, sensitising them about government initiatives and encouraging them to take maximum benefit of the schemes.

The medical team from ALIMCO Kanpur conducted assessments and identified the requirements of children for aids and appliances. Special Education Teachers and Zonal Coordinators extended full support in managing the camp, ensuring proper documentation, attendance and coordination with parents.

The parents expressed gratitude to the Education Department and ALIMCO for organising such an initiative at the grassroots level. The camp will continue as per the schedule, with the next phase to be held at Boys HSS Samba on 24th September 2025.

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.
