DODA: A five-day Peace Education Programme for Inner Capacity Building commenced today at Town Hall Doda. The programme is organised by District Administration Doda in collaboration with The Prem Rawat Foundation to promote emotional well-being, self-awareness, inner strength and a positive work environment among government employees and staff of educational institutions.

The workshop features interactive sessions built around ten key themes: peace, appreciation, inner strength, self-awareness, clarity, understanding, dignity, choice, hope and contentment. The sessions aim to enhance leadership qualities, emotional intelligence, resilience, decision-making abilities, work-life balance and citizen-centric public service.

Addressing the participants, the Deputy Commissioner Krishan Lal said that effectively managing stress, anxiety and other emotional challenges improves personal well-being and professional efficiency and that inner peace and emotional resilience are essential for delivering responsive, compassionate and quality public services. Such initiatives, he added, enable employees to better understand themselves, strengthen their inner capacities and develop a positive approach towards both professional responsibilities and personal life.

The sessions are being conducted by Master Trainer Poonam Sehrawat. Among those present were Chief Education Officer Bhushan Kumar, Principals of Government Degree Colleges and Higher Secondary Schools, officers from the Health Department and various other departments.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

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.
