KULGAM: The SANKALP Hub for Empowerment of Women (HEW) Kulgam today organised awareness programme and distributed baby kits under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme to promote gender equality and challenge deep-rooted social preferences for sons. The kits, which include essentials for newborn baby girls, serve as a gesture of respect and value towards the girl child, sending a strong message to communities that daughters are to be celebrated and promote positive attitudes towards the girl child.

The programme aimed to generate comprehensive awareness to enlighten the community about the significance of the ā€˜Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ initiative. A heartwarming gesture of support was extended to the parents of the girl child aiming to facilitate their good health. Speakers shared their insights to motivate the parents and encourage them to support their daughters in pursuing their dreams.

The event was a resounding success, leaving a positive impact on the attendees and reinforcing the message that every girl deserves a fair chance at education and a prosperous life. Event was attended by Supervisors, Anganwadi workers, lactating mothers and officials from the Social Welfare office and staff from One Stop Centre.

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.
