JAMMU: The Jammu Development Authority (JDA) has awarded the Letter of Award (LoA) for the development of an amusement park in the vicinity of IIM Jammu, marking a significant step towards strengthening Jammu’s tourism infrastructure and creating new avenues for employment and economic activity.

The proposed project is envisaged as a major recreational and tourism destination, offering enhanced entertainment facilities for residents as well as visitors to Jammu and contributing to the diversification of the region’s tourism offerings.

Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chairman, Jammu Development Authority, Rupesh Kumar described the project as a “game-changer for Jammu’s tourism sector”, stating that the initiative would add a new dimension to the city’s tourism and recreational infrastructure while generating opportunities for local employment and allied economic activities.

The Vice Chairman expressed his appreciation for the strategic guidance and continued support of the seniors, which has facilitated the JDA’s efforts to undertake development initiatives aimed at promoting tourism, investment and sustainable urban growth in Jammu.

The project reflects JDA’s continued commitment to unlocking the potential of its land resources through transparent, planned and investment-oriented development, while creating quality public amenities and supporting the broader economic development objectives of Jammu and Kashmir.

The amusement park, once developed, is expected to emerge as an important recreational destination and further enhance Jammu’s attractiveness as a tourism and investment hub.

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.
