AWANTIPORA: Extending its healthcare outreach to adopted villages under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, the Centre for AYUSH Science, Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) organized a free medical and awareness camp at Gooripora on July 31, 2025. The camp provided doorstep medical consultations, free medicines, and preventive health guidance to underserved communities.

About 200 patients received care, with women constituting a significant majority. Medical experts screened residents for prevalent ailments, including anaemia, locomotory disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and skin conditions. Free medicines were also distributed during the camp.

Dr. Arsheed A. Ganaie, Coordinator, Centre for AYUSH Science, emphasized the university’s commitment to accessible healthcare: "This camp reflects IUST’s resolve to bridge healthcare gaps in rural areas through AYUSH systems. The overwhelming participation, especially by women, underscores the community’s trust in our initiatives."

The effort was supported by Dr. Tabasum Fatima, and the University Outreach team. Gooripora is among five villages—including Larkipora, Padgampora, Rajpora Ullar, and Barsoo—adopted by IUST under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan. Residents lauded the university for bringing essential healthcare services to their doorstep, noting the camp’s role in supporting economically vulnerable populations. Similar camps will be organized in Larkipora, Rajpora Ullar, and Barsoo, reaffirming IUST’s focus on integrating traditional medicine systems into community wellness programs.

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.
