DODA: Chief Medical Officer Doda Dr Vinod Sharma, who is also the Registering Authority for Clinical Establishments in the district, convened a meeting with owners and representatives of Clinical Establishments including PCPNDT Units, in his office chamber.

The meeting apprised all stakeholders of the new Single Window System (SWS) for Clinical Establishments, under which all applications for fresh registrations, renewals, approvals, amendments and related services will be processed exclusively through the newly launched online portal.

It was emphasised that the system has been introduced to ensure greater transparency, efficiency, accountability and ease of access and all Clinical Establishment owners and PCPNDT Unit operators were urged to familiarise themselves with the portal and ensure timely compliance with prescribed procedures.

Participants appreciated the initiative and raised queries on the operational aspects of the portal, which were also addressed. Among those present were District Health Officer Doda Dr Raj Kumar Sharma, Block Medical Officer Ghat Dr Abdul Gafoor, CHO Mohd Shafi Attu and Senior Assistant and Dealing Assistant for Clinical Establishments Raqua Naz.

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.
