JAMMU: Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha today attended 'Naman Diwas' an event dedicated to honor organ donors and their families. The Lieutenant Governor paid his gratitude to organ donors and their families and said they have brought happiness in the countless lives.

“Because of you, someone is able to read today. Because of you, someone is seeing the colors of the world for the very first time. Because of you, someone is experiencing hope, freedom, and joy anew. I must emphasize with great responsibility that no award from the government or any institution can ever truly capture the value of your gift,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

Addressing the gathering of cornea donors’ families and kidney donors, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised that no award can ever truly capture the value of organ donation and Cornea as well Kidney donors are the true role models and heroes of our society.

“In life, we often ask what is humanity’s greatest gift? Across centuries, philosophers, poets, and thinkers have arrived at the same truth that the measure of life is not in what we accumulate, but in what we give. Those we honor today have given the most precious gift of all, the gift of organs, the gift that sustains life itself,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

He also observed that in our culture, organ donation is regarded as one of the noblest and most sacred acts. “I appeal to every citizen to take the pledge for organ donation today. Let society remember that each one of us is a potential donor. Each one of us holds the extraordinary power to save lives even after we are gone,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor commended the work of State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization of J&K (SOTTO J&K) and said the team has worked with deep commitment to raise awareness across communities. He said SOTTO J&K through its campaigns, hospital partnerships, collaborations with NGOs, and training of medical professionals to sensitively identify and manage brain-dead donor cases, has become a movement of compassion and humanity. He urged the SOTTO J&K team to increase registrations and pledges through dialogue and outreach. The Lieutenant Governor had pledged for Organ Donation last year by registering himself on Ayushman Bharat Organ Donation Registry of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.

The Lieutenant Governor also asked the SOTTO J&K's representatives to spread the message of organ donation through every social network, every community meeting, every school and college, every place of worship, and every workplace.

“To those who hesitate due to cultural or religious concerns, I wish to remind you that our traditions affirm the sanctity of life and the virtue of selfless giving. Speak to any spiritual guide, family members and community elders and you will find that this gift of life is not only respected across faiths but celebrated as a blessing.

Throughout history, organ donation has been recognized as one of the most profound expressions of compassion across the civilizations. A person whose earthly journey has ended can still give new life. Through cornea donation, that same person can restore sight, dignity, and the simple joy of seeing a child’s smile or a sunrise,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

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.
