SRINAGAR: In a commendable initiative aimed at promoting national integration and broadening the horizons of young minds, DIG SKR Anantnag Shri Javid Iqbal Matoo-IPS flagged off a group of 80 students for a Bharat Darshan tour. The students, hailing from various schools across district Anantnag, will visit prominent historical and cultural landmarks in Mumbai and Kolkata.

The flag-off ceremony was held with great enthusiasm at District Police Lines Anantnag, where SSP Anantnag Shri Amritpal Singh and other officers were also present, who extended their best wishes to the students.

This educational tour, under the Civic Action Programme of Jammu and Kashmir Police, is designed to expose students to the diverse cultural heritage and development of the country. It provides an opportunity for the youth to learn about the history, culture, and progress of different regions, thereby fostering a sense of unity and national pride.

Speaking on the occasion, DIG SKR emphasized the importance of such exposure visits in shaping the personality of young students and instilling in them values of discipline, confidence, and patriotism. SSP Anantnag also encouraged the students to make the most of this opportunity and return with enriching experiences and new perspectives. Police remains committed to engaging with the youth through such constructive initiatives and will continue to work towards their empowerment and development.

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.
