SRINAGAR: Under the leadership of Mohammad Younis Malik, Director JKEDI, the Jammu & Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI), organised an Entrepreneurship Orientation Programme (EOP) for the students of Boys Higher Secondary School (BHSS), Qalamabad, Kupwara.

The programme commenced with an engaging brainstorming session on ā€œIdentifying Opportunitiesā€, encouraging students to look at challenges around them as potential opportunities for innovation and enterprise. The discussion soon developed into a fruitful debate on why entrepreneurship could be the way forward for the youth, encouraging students to think beyond conventional employment and explore entrepreneurship as a means of creating value and employment.

The second part of the programme featured an interactive business simulation exercise, conducted by seasoned JKEDI faculty, including  Dr Sameer Jan Bhat Teaching Associate, Dr Mohammad Furqan Khan, Assistant Faculty and Dr Irem Hussanie, Assistant Faculty. The simulation provided students with practical exposure to business decision-making, teamwork, problem-solving, opportunity assessment and market-oriented thinking.

The programme concluded with the Principal, BHSS Qalamabad, expressing gratitude to the JKEDI course team and all the staff involved in hosting the programme. He appreciated the initiative for providing students with an opportunity to explore new ideas and gain practical exposure to entrepreneurship and innovation.

The programme reaffirmed JKEDI’s commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial mindsets, innovation and opportunity-oriented thinking among the youth across Jammu & Kashmir.

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.
