REASI: A meeting of the District Level Implementation Committee under Mission YUVA was held today under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Reasi Kumar Abhishek to review the progress of the scheme and consider fresh applications from aspiring entrepreneurs.

During the meeting, 170 applications verified by the Small Business Development Units (SBDUs) were placed before the committee. After detailed scrutiny, all 170 cases were approved for financial assistance, skill development training and other support under Mission YUVA.

The Deputy Commissioner directed the concerned banks to ensure prompt disbursement of sanctioned loans and expedite clearance of all pending cases. Stressing the importance of capacity building, he instructed the departments concerned to intensify skill development initiatives by organising additional training sessions at Dharmari and launching more training batches across the district.

He emphasised that enhanced awareness and wider registration under Mission YUVA would enable more eligible youth to avail the benefits of the scheme and establish sustainable livelihood ventures.

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.
