RAMBAN: In continued efforts to reach the unreached in the far-flung and unconnected areas of District Ramban, a mega health camp was organized today by the Block Medical Officer Banihal at Panchayat Ghar Upper Mahoo under the Aspirational Block Programme Khari. A dedicated team of doctors and paramedical staff examined and treated approximately 203 patients on the spot, distributing free medicines to all. Special focus was given to screening for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) and Tuberculosis among beneficiaries over 30 years old, with about 94 patients screened for diabetes and hypertension.

A special camp was also organized for left-out Golden Card beneficiaries, generating 23 golden cards on the spot by the VLE. The general public received awareness about the importance of 100 percent institutional deliveries and the registration of pregnant women in the first trimester. Meanwhile, a special AYUSH camp targeted elderly individuals and the general public, providing awareness about lifestyle modifications and immunity-boosting AYUSH medicines.

The residents of Panchayat Upper Mahoo expressed their gratitude to the Health Department Ramban and the District Administration for organizing this mega health camp in their remote area. They appreciated the tireless efforts of the health department in uplifting healthcare facilities in rural areas.

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.
