Flags off J&K contingent for National Aquatic Championship

JAMMU: Sportspersons serve as messengers of peace, prosperity, and harmony, often emerging as influential ambassadors due to their widespread appeal and ability to inspire. This sentiment was echoed by Anuradha Gupta, Director General of Youth Services and Sports, Jammu & Kashmir, while flagging off the J&K contingent for the 78th Senior National Aquatic Championship. The ceremony, held at the MA Stadium, was a vibrant and well-attended affair.

A contingent of ten swimmers—five men and five women—selected on merit, will represent Jammu & Kashmir at the championship, organized by the Swimming Federation of India in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, from June 22 to 26, 2025. Commending the J&K Swimming Association for its relentless efforts in nurturing talent and promoting sports across the Union Territory, Gupta emphasised the UT’s vast potential in athletics. She stressed the importance of grassroots development to harness this talent effectively.

Extending her best wishes to the swimmers, she urged them to compete with integrity and uphold the spirit of sportsmanship. Encouraging them to excel at the national stage, she expressed hope that their performances would bring pride to their families, coaches, and Jammu & Kashmir. Gupta also highlighted the transformative power of sports in nation-building, urging the athletes to seize the opportunity and inspire society through their dedication. The flag-off ceremony, organized by the Jammu & Kashmir Swimming Association, was conducted under the leadership of President Ramandeep Singh Soodan, General Secretary Bharat Kumar Sharma, Joint Secretary and Coach Babita Rani, and Treasurer Vikas Mahajan.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
