RAMBAN: In line with the directions of Deputy Commissioner Baseer-Ul-Haq Chaudhary, and under the guidance of the Director, Industries & Commerce, Jammu, the District Industries Centre (DIC) Ramban organized an awareness camp at Panchayat Maitra-B.

The objective was to spread awareness about the implementation of Strategic Investment Plans (SIP) for Jammu & Kashmir under the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Programme, along with other schemes being implemented by DIC Ramban.

The camp held under the supervision of GM DIC Ravinder Anand commenced with a welcome address by Project Manager, Kuldeep Singh. During the session, participants were encouraged to register their business units on the Udyam portal (www.udyamregistration.gov.in) to formalize MSMEs in the District.

The Project Manager also sensitized attendees about the procedure for applying under various schemes, explaining the benefits of enrollment with DIC. Educated unemployed youth were informed about the financial assistance and subsidies available under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) for establishing ventures in both manufacturing and service sectors.

Additionally, participants were made aware about the PM Vishwakarma scheme. The scheme generated interest among aspiring youth, many of whom expressed willingness to step forward and avail benefits under PMEGP through DIC Ramban. The camp concluded with a vote of thanks from the Project Manager, who appreciated the public for their enthusiastic participation.

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.
