ANANTNAG: To strengthen the fight against substance abuse among youth, Youth Services & Sports (YSS) Anantnag, in collaboration with the Education department Anantnag, organized a series of activities today across various educational institutions in Anantnag district under the Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan.

Programme witnessed enthusiastic participation from students, teachers, and community members. Activities included awareness rallies, interactive sessions, essay writing and debate competitions, and pledge-taking ceremonies held at Shaheed Humayun Muzamil GDC Boys Anantnag and GDC Mattan.

Aim of the campaign was to educate young people about the harmful effects of drug abuse on health and society, and to encourage them to become agents of change in their families and communities. Special awareness sessions were conducted by experts, teachers and students, with real life stories and case studies shared to highlight the dangers of addiction.

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.
