KISHTWAR: As part of ongoing Seva Parv campaign, the Government Polytechnic College Kishtwar organised an awareness rally that commenced from the college premises and passed through Hidyal Chowk and Bun Astan before concluding at Chowgan Ground.

Students and faculty members participated with great enthusiasm, raising slogans on Swachata (cleanliness) to sensitize the public about the importance of hygiene and civic responsibility.

The rally formed an important part of the ongoing Seva Parv programme under Seva Pakhwada, which aims to promote community service and public welfare through initiatives like cleanliness drives, awareness campaigns, and outreach activities.

Similar activities were also conducted across Sub-Division, Tehsil, and Block levels by departments including Health, RDD, ICDS, Forest, Education, Social Welfare, and Agriculture.

The Municipal Council Kishtwar also conducted Greh Parvesh (Home Inauguration Ceremony) under PMAY-HFA (Urban) and handed over keys to five beneficiaries as part of Seva Parv 2025 celebrations.

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.
