SHOPIAN: The Sankalp Hub for Empowerment of Women, Mission Shakti, Shopian, today organized an awareness and sensitisation programme under the banner of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) at Government High School Zampathri, Keller, Shopian. The initiative aimed to sensitise students regarding the safety, dignity, and rights of women and girls.

During the programme, the District Mission Coordinator, Sankalp Hub for Empowerment of Women, Mission Shakti, Shopian, sensitized students about SHe-Box (Sexual Harassment Electronic Box) and its vital role as an online portal for reporting complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace. A detailed interactive session was conducted where students were briefed on the step-by-step process of registering a complaint through SHe-Box.

The District Mission Coordinator explained the procedure involved in accessing the platform, entering required details, providing incident information, attaching supporting documents, and submitting the complaint through the online mechanism for prompt action. 

The students were encouraged to speak up against harassment, understand their rights, and seek timely assistance. Emphasis was placed on fostering a safe and supportive environment where women and girls feel empowered to report concerns without fear or hesitation.

Highlighting awareness as a key tool for empowerment, the District Mission Coordinator urged students to share the knowledge gained with their peers, families and communities, while promoting a culture of respect, equality, dignity, and safety. 

The event reaffirmed the broader objectives of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, particularly focusing on protection, education, empowerment, and equal opportunities for girls, equipping students with practical knowledge about available support and grievance-redressal mechanisms. 

The Sankalp Hub for Empowerment of Women, Mission Shakti, Shopian, reiterated its commitment to conducting similar awareness programs across educational institutions and communities to foster a safer, more informed and empowered environment for women and girls.

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.
