SRINAGAR: With the aim of promoting holistic health and well-being through India’s ancient healing tradition, Chinar Corps of Indian Army organised a three-day Ayurveda Medical Camp from 13 to 15 August 2025 at Middle School, Keegam. The initiative was conducted in collaboration with a team of experienced Ayurvedic doctors from Uttarakhand.

The camp provided free consultations, personalised health assessments and pulse diagnosis (NadiPariksha) for residents from Keegam and adjoining villages. Participants also received guidance on diet, lifestyle and herbal remedies based on their body constitution (Prakriti). Special awareness sessions were held on preventive healthcare, seasonal wellness (Ritucharya), yoga and simple home remedies for common ailments.

To ensure immediate benefit, free Ayurvedic medicines were distributed for frequently encountered health issues. The opening day alone saw 161 patients from villages including Keegam, Gujjarpatti, Radbugha, Kandi, Tarich, Natnussa, Drugmulla and even far-off Nagri, reflecting the trust and enthusiasm of the local populace.

Locals expressed heartfelt appreciation for the initiative, highlighting how the camp not only provided side-effect free healthcare but also empowered them with knowledge to maintain their own health naturally. Many participants noted that such opportunities bridge traditional wisdom with modern community needs, fostering a sense of cultural pride and wellness.

This effort by Chinar Corps of Indian Army stands as a testament to the Indian Army’s commitment towards community welfare, cultural preservation and strengthening bonds with the local populace.

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.
