KUPWARA: On the instructions of Deputy Commissioner Kupwara, Ayushi Sudan, mega awareness cum enrollment camp was held at village Lohikote in Mawar block to provide mass awareness about various centrally sponsored schemes under the ongoing ‘Dharti Aaba Janbhagidari Abhiyan.’ The Abhiyan, aimed for saturation of centrally sponsored schemes in far flung tribal villages of the district, was attended by a large number of people.

The Abhiyan will continue till June 30 for coverage of the targeted beneficiaries.

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.
