SOPORE: Police in Sopore, in collaboration with Government Degree College Sopore, organized a seminar to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The theme of the seminar was “Formation of India’s Bureaucracy, Role of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and His Vision of India.”

Speakers highlighted Patel’s historic role in unifying more than 560 princely states, safeguarding India’s territorial integrity, and shaping a strong, impartial, and professional bureaucracy widely known as the “Steel Frame of India.” His vision of a united, self-reliant nation, with bureaucracy serving as a bridge between the government and the people, was emphasized throughout the seminar.

The event was attended by SSP Sopore Shri Iftkhar Talib-JKPS, ADC Sopore Shri Shabir Raina-JKAS, Principal GDC Sopore, officers from the police department, faculty members, and students of the college. The seminar concluded with a prize distribution ceremony, where participants were felicitated for their contributions. The event reflected Police’s commitment to promoting awareness, unity, and nation-building.

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.
