BHADERWAH: The District Industries Centre (DIC), under the guidance of General Manager S. Paramjeet Singh, organized a RAMP Awareness-cum-On-Spot Udyam Registration Camp at Community Hall, Bhaderwah. The event was part of the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) scheme to support and empower Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Jammu & Kashmir.

The main goal of the programme was to raise awareness about various government schemes, promote Udyam registration, and support aspiring entrepreneurs. A large number of entrepreneurs participated, including many who registered their enterprises on the spot with the help of representatives from different departments. Officers from Handicrafts and Handlooms, JKEDI, JKTPO, and CSCs departments took part in the event. Key speakers Tarun Sudan, Jatinder Bharti, and Neeraj Sharma informed participants about the benefits of Udyam registration and guided them through the process.

General Manager S. Paramjeet Singh highlighted the importance of formalizing MSMEs to access financial support, market linkages, and other government assistance. He stated that connecting entrepreneurs with the MSME ecosystem is essential for building a strong and competitive business environment in the region. The DIC thanked all participating departments and stakeholders and assured that such outreach activities would continue in other parts of the district to support local entrepreneurs.

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.
