BARAMULLA: District Employment & Counselling Centre (DE&CC) Baramulla today launched the Mission YUVA awareness-cum-registration campaign to support and guide aspiring entrepreneurs at the grassroots level. The initiative aims to engage potential candidates identified during the January 2025 Baseline Survey and introduce them to the opportunities available under Mission YUVA.

The opening session focused on briefing YUVA Doots and Block Head Doots (BHDs) about recent updates. It was shared that the Mission YUVA mobile app and online portal are now live, allowing eligible youth to apply directly for benefits.

In the second session, held at Panchayat Delina-A, participants from Delina A, B, C, and D were guided through the application process. Ten individuals downloaded the app, with four completing their applications on the spot.

Mission YUVA is supported by a three-tier structure, including 174 YUVA Doots at the Panchayat level, BHDs at the block level, and a Single Business Development Unit (SBDU) at the district level. The event saw participation from officials of DIC Baramulla, JKEDI, J&K Bank, the Agriculture Department, and DE&CC, along with field-level staff and YUVA Doots.

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.
