The event was presided over by the Additional District Development Commissioner, Malikzada Sheraz Ul Haq. The main commemorative event was held at Amritsar, Punjab and the Rajouri district administration enthusiastically participated through a live telecast.

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.
