AWANTIPORA: As part of its ongoing mission to promote scientific awareness and academic engagement, the School of Sciences at Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) successfully conducted its Outreach Programmes across various Government Higher Secondary Schools in twin districts of Pulwama and Anantnag.

The initiative aimed to inspire students by fostering a scientific temper, introducing them to emerging technologies, and informing them about educational opportunities at IUST. Faculty members from the School of Sciences led interactive sessions featuring lectures, demonstrations, and open discussions. These engagements highlighted the significance of science and technology in contemporary society and encouraged students to envision themselves as future innovators and problem-solvers.

Students received detailed insights into undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the School in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Environmental Science. The outreach team also addressed queries related to science curricula, career paths, research prospects, and national-level competitive exams. The sessions witnessed participation from students as well as faculty of the host institutions, who welcomed the initiative and expressed a strong interest in continued collaboration.

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.
