AWANTIPORA: Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) hosted a one-day seminar titled "Know Your Allergies: Own Your Health", aimed at raising awareness about allergic disorders and their effective management. The seminar was organized by the Centre for Vocational Studies, School of Health Studies.

Allergy specialists, Dr. Ghulam Hasan and Dr. Taha Ashraf Qureshi, deliberated on various facets of allergies from understanding types and triggers to the importance of early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and management strategies. Another highlight of the Program was the on-spot diagnostic services provided to participants. These included spirometry-based lung function testing for respiratory allergies and asthma, comprehensive allergy screening, and Total Immunoglobulin E (LgE) level testing to assess allergic tendencies. These services saw active participation from students, faculty, and other attendees, offering valuable insights into their personal health.

Expressing gratitude to the experts, participants and organizers, Dr. Shahid M Baba, Centre for Vocational Studies reassured IUST’s commitment to advancing public health education and community engagement through such meaningful initiatives.

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.
