DODA: The Health Department Doda, in collaboration with a local NGO, organized a Multi Specialty Health Camp here at the remote Village Dhara. The camp was inaugurated by the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tanveer Ahmed Rather in the presence of Block Medical Officer Ghat Dr Abdul Gafoor and representatives from the NGO.

During the camp, a wide range of healthcare services were provided to the people of the area including consultation by General Physicians, Consultant Gynecologist, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dermatologist, Eye Specialist and Child Specialist.

The Health Department also provided on-spot ultrasound facility through the MMU vehicle, besides NCD screening and free medicines. Sanitary pads were also distributed among locals.

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.
