KISHTWAR: Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar Rajesh Kumar Shavan today conducted an extensive review of the progress made in achieving 13 Key Health Sector Indicators in the 13 Model Panchayats in the district. He reviewed AYUSHMAN Bharat Golden Card Coverage, institutional deliveries, screening of targeted population for non communicable diseases, TB- control measures, interventions to achieve Anemia-Free villages, creation of ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) IDs among others.

At the outset, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Rajinder Kumar briefed the Deputy Commissioner on the current status and progress achieved in meeting the key health indicators in the district. To support these health initiatives, the DC directed the CMO to submit detailed proposals for the procurement of additional essential medical equipment, including Glucometers, BP Apparatus, Hemoglobin Meters, and other critical diagnostic tools. The additional tools will be provided to MLHPs, FMPHWs, ASHA Workers and Anganwadi Workers to facilitate on-spot screening of patients.

“They will also ensure the line listing of undertaken activities along with GPRS-enabled photographs and maintenance of record on a daily basis to be analyzed by BMOs to assess the prevalence of the types of ailments and strategize their action to control the same” the DC said.

It was decided that the Data will be put in shape in consultation with the DC before July 31, 2025. The CMO and MS District Hospital will act as Co-guides and help the BMOs from time to time. The initiative will significantly enhance the healthcare infrastructure at the grassroots level and enable timely interventions, improve health outcomes and strengthen the primary healthcare system, the meeting noted.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
