RAMBAN: The District Administration Ramban, under the leadership of District Election Officer (DEO) Baseer-Ul-Haq Choudhary, continues its efforts to enhance voter awareness ahead of the General Legislative Assembly Election 2024 by organizing a series of activities in Assembly Constituencies AC-54 Ramban and AC-55 Banihal.

These efforts are part of the ongoing Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) campaign, which aims to educate voters about the importance of casting their votes. The District Nodal Officer for SVEEP, CEO Ramban Vikram Singh, emphasized the critical role of voter participation, particularly urging youth and women to exercise their right to vote.

A major SVEEP awareness program was held today at the Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Mahoo, a remote area in the 55-Banihal constituency. The event was organized by the District SVEEP team, including Assistant Nodal Officer Manjeet Singh, Abdul Hamid, Suraj Parkash, and technical team member Raj Singh.

Similar awareness programme was also organized at Government Higher Secondary School, Khari under SVEEP to sensitize the people about the importance of their votes.  Local residents, prominent citizens, female voters, and students participated in the event. The focus on the Mahoo area, known for its historically low voter turnout, makes today’s engagement a significant step towards increasing voter participation in the upcoming elections.

Your voice can reach the world: At JK Monitor, we firmly believe that every well-researched idea has the power to inspire change beyond geographical boundaries.

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.
