BUDGAM: Jammu & Kashmir Rural Livelihood Mission (JKRLM) Block BK Pora, in collaboration with the Health Department, today organized a health camp for Self-Help Group (SHG) members in BK Pora, District Budgam.  The initiative offered free medical check-ups and medications to SHG members.

The event was part of a larger initiative across the UT of J&K, led by Mission Director JKRLM, Dr. Shubhra Sharma, to provide accessible healthcare services directly to members. The event received an overwhelming response from the SHG members of BK Pora Block. The camp was organized at Aribagh Kanipora, with a team from CHC Chattergam, including Medical Officer Dr. Rukhsana, Medical Officer RBSK Dr. Shabnum Akhter, and the paramedical staff. 

BMO BK Pora Dr. GulAfroz Khuru presided over the event, offering valuable insights on health and hygiene for the participants. She stressed that women often tend to overlook their own health while focusing on the well-being of their families, and urged them to prioritize self-care.  Dr. GulAfroz also emphasized the importance of regular health check-ups and maintaining proper hygiene as key factors in preventing common health issues.

 Providing details, Block Program Manager BK Pora said that the main goal of these camps is to enhance the health and well-being of rural women, who are a key component of JKRLM's network and play an essential role in promoting community-driven developmental changes.

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.
