Connecting farmers with latest techniques, technologies & schemes

RAMBAN: The fifth round of the Kisan Sampark Abhiyan-3.0 (Farmers Orientation Programme) under the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme was spearheaded by the District Nodal Officer, Chief Animal Husbandry Officer Ramban, Dr. Suhail Kawoosa, across nine blocks of the district. The one-day Farmers' Orientation Programme ended today on a positive note, with an overwhelming response from the farming community in all nine blocks of the district.

Audio-visual aids were used to disseminate information about different government-sponsored schemes meant for the welfare of farmers involved in agriculture, animal husbandry, sheep husbandry, horticulture, apiculture, pisciculture and sericulture.

Resource persons from various departments provided awareness regarding various employment-friendly schemes to the participating farmers. Additionally, farmers were informed about Daksh Kisan (an online learning portal for skill development), Kissan Khidmat Garh (KKG), credit-linked schemes, and Kisan Sathi (IT Dashboard) portals, which are part of the digitalization of various services and schemes.

Resource persons urged farmers to ensure maximum participation in the Kisan Sampark Abhiyan to avail benefits under various schemes, adopt skilling courses, latest techniques, explore new possibilities, and make farming more accessible and profitable.

During the program, farmers raised various queries, which were resolved amicably by the concerned resource persons. The event witnessed active participation from 267 farmers, mostly unemployed youth, at each venue. Additionally, 147 farmers were registered during the fifth round of Kisan Sampark Abhiyan for the baseline survey conducted by the Skill Gap Study resource persons. Pertinently, the Kisan Sampark Abhiyan phase 3.0 began on May 1, 2024, in all blocks of Ramban district.

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.
