JAMMU: The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Jammu, under the leadership of Prof. B.S. Sahay, Director, IIM Jammu, successfully organized an offline session titled “Yoga for Beginners” in collaboration with Isha Foundation at the Auditorium Mandapam, IIM Jammu Jagti Campus.

The session, conducted by experienced instructors Shri Paras Ji and Shri OjaskarJi from Isha Foundation, introduced participants to fundamental yogic practices aimed at fostering physical health, mental clarity, and holistic well-being. The initiative served as a precursor to the upcoming Inner Engineering Program, a transformative program designed to enhance self-awareness and inner growth.

The session included various physical activities and foundational yogic practices, including NADA Yoga—a practice of using sound and vibrations to bring inner stillness and joy, as taught by Sadhguru. Reflecting on the deeper significance of yoga, Sadhguru’s quote was shared during the event: “Yoga is not just an exercise; it is a way to align the body, mind, and energy for ultimate joy and balance.”

The event witnessed active participation from IIM Jammu's community, facilitated by enthusiastic volunteers Ms. Shivani Gupta, Shri Umang Koul, Shri Abhishek, Ms. Sonakshi, Ms. Rubal Mahajan, and Shri Shubham Singh. Dr. Mamta Tripathi, Chairperson Anandam, IIM Jammu, expressed gratitude to Isha Foundation for guiding the participants through transformative practices, enabling them to embrace a more mindful and balanced approach to life.

The “Yoga for Beginners” session successfully laid the foundation for deeper self-exploration while promoting well-being among the participants. IIM Jammu remains committed to integrating such holistic programs into its academic ecosystem, inspiring its community to transform their lives in alignment with Sadhguru’s teachings through simple yet impactful steps. This was followed by Q & A.

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.
