BUDGAM: District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Budgam under the supervision and active guidance of O.P. Bhagat, Chairman DLSA Budgam, and Nusrat Ali Hakak, Secretary, DLSA Budgam organized an awareness programme on NALSA (SAMVAD-Strengthening Access to Justice for Marginalised, Vulnerable Adivasis and Denotified/ Nomadic Tribes) scheme, 2025 at Govt. Hr. Secondary School Dragger, Khansahib.

NALSA- SAMVAD scheme, 2025 is aimed to strengthen the previous versions by adopting a more targeted and grassroots approach to enhance access to justice for historically marginalized communities.

In her address, Secretary DLSA thoroughly deliberated on the SAMVAD scheme 2025 and said that justice cannot prevail unless individuals in the remotest corners are made aware of their constitutional and legal rights. The goals of the Constitution can only be fulfilled when legal awareness reaches every individual, regardless of location.

She further highlighted that the aim of the programme is to maximize the impact and effectiveness of every intervention which is a step forward- to listen, to learn, and to lead the way in making justice accessible to all.

Students of the institution actively performed and took part in different activities by showcasing their talent representing their cultural ethos and living setup. The programme witnessed active participation of students, teaching & non teaching staff of school, officials and PLVs of DLSA Budgam.

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.
