RAMBAN: State Bank of India’s Rural Self Employment Training Institute (SBI RSETI) Ramban commenced a 30-day Women’s Tailoring Training Programme here to empower rural women with employable skills. During the month-long course, the women trainees would be imparted hands-on practical training, entrepreneurial knowledge and market awareness, thereby promoting income generation and self-employment opportunities in the district.

The programme was formally inaugurated by Naib Tehsildar Banihal Zakhir Hussain in presence of Director SBI RSETI S. Harvinder Singh. The Naib Tehsildar congratulated the enrolled women trainees and encouraged them to take maximum benefit from the training.  The Director motivated the participants to actively engage in learning and assured them of continuous guidance even after completion of the training.

He highlighted that after successful completion of the training, trainees will also be provided support in accessing credit linkages through various government-sponsored schemes to help them start their own tailoring units and become financially independent.

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.
