UDHAMPUR: In compliance with the directions of the Member Secretary, Jammu & Kashmir Legal Services Authority, the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Udhampur, organized a training programme for the newly engaged supporting staff of the Legal Aid Defence Counsel (LADC), here today.

The programme was conducted at the Conference Hall, District Court Complex, under the guidance of Chairperson District Legal Services Authority and Principal District & Sessions Judge Kalpana Revo and under the overall supervision of Secretary, District Legal Services Authority Sumati Sharma.

The training was coordinated by Chief Legal Aid Defence Counsel Pawan Gupta. He emphasized the critical role of supporting staff in ensuring timely legal assistance and facilitating effective coordination between defence counsel and beneficiaries. He also highlighted that well-trained support personnel are essential to the effective functioning of the Legal Aid Defence Counsel System (LADCS) and to safeguarding the rights of under trial and indigent clients.

The training curriculum addressed key operational and administrative areas necessary for efficient legal aid delivery. Topics covered included case-file management; client interviewing techniques; accurate record-keeping; duty roster procedures and the operational aspects and workflows of the LADCS. Practical guidance and best-practice tips were imparted to help staff streamline documentation and case-tracking and to ensure compliance with applicable procedures and standards.

Further, the Chief LADC urged participants to maintain strict confidentiality in all matters, to enhance client communication and to adopt systematic documentation practices to expedite assistance to undertrial and indigent clients. The programme brought together the newly engaged supporting staff of the LADC and is expected to contribute significantly to improved access to justice and more effective delivery of legal aid services in the district.

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.
