JAMMU: Appealing to the residents of Jammu & Kashmir to devote time towards holistic fitness to mark the occasion of International Yoga Day, BJP J&K President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, along with BJP J&K General Secretary and former Deputy Mayor Jammu Baldev Singh Billawaria, participated in a yoga programme organized by the Dogra Seva Sambhal Trust at Gangyal, Jammu. BJP District President Naresh Singh Jasrotia was also present and joined the yoga exercises along with other participants.

Sat Sharma, addressing on the occasion, said that Yoga is not merely a physical exercise but a complete way of life that promotes harmony between the body, mind, and soul. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yoga has gained global recognition and has become a symbol of India’s ancient wisdom and cultural heritage.

Sharma emphasized that a healthy society is the foundation of a strong nation and urged people, particularly the youth, to adopt Yoga as a daily habit. “The vision of a Viksit Bharat can only be realized when our citizens are physically fit, mentally strong, and socially responsible. Yoga helps create disciplined individuals who contribute positively to nation-building,” he said.

Sat Sharma appealed to the people of Jammu & Kashmir to actively participate in International Yoga Day programmes being organized in their localities and to make Yoga an integral part of their daily routine for a healthier and stress-free life. Baldev Singh Billawaria said that Yoga is a powerful tool for preventive healthcare and social well-being. He noted that regular practice of Yoga can help reduce lifestyle-related diseases and improve overall quality of life. He urged citizens to embrace Yoga and encourage their families to do the same. Naresh Singh Jasrotia said that Yoga strengthens both the individual and society and called upon people to remain connected with this invaluable heritage of India.

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.
