Holy soil from Guru Ravidas Ji's birthplace to be brought to J&K to strengthen the message of social harmony and equality

JAMMU: BJP J&K General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, along with BJP General Secretary Baldev Singh Billawaria, flagged off a delegation of party leaders to Varanasi, the holy birthplace of Saint Shiromani Guru Ravidas Ji Maharaj, under the ongoing 'Samrasata Sankalp Abhiyan' being organized to commemorate the 650th birth anniversary of the revered saint.

MLA Ramnagar Dr. Sunil Bhardwaj, BJP J&K SC Morcha President Dharminder Kumar, Jeet Angral, and other senior party leaders were present on the occasion at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. BJP J&K Vice-President Bharat Bhushan is leading the 16-member delegation that will visit the sacred birthplace of Guru Ravidas Ji in Varanasi.

The delegation will bring back the holy soil in a sacred Kalash from Guru Ravidas Ji's birthplace. The holy soil will later be placed in temples across Jammu & Kashmir during the upcoming programmes being organized under the Samrasata Sankalp Abhiyan. The initiative aims to spread the timeless message of equality, social harmony, fraternity, and human dignity propagated by Saint Guru Ravidas Ji.

Ashok Koul, speaking on the occasion, said that Saint Guru Ravidas Ji dedicated his life to eliminating discrimination and awakening society towards equality and universal brotherhood. He said that the BJP has always worked to uphold the ideals of social justice and inclusive development envisioned by great saints and reformers. He added that the Samrasata Sankalp Abhiyan is not merely a commemorative programme but a social movement to strengthen unity and mutual respect in society. Bringing the sacred soil from Guru Ji's birthplace, he said, symbolizes the commitment to carry his teachings to every corner of Jammu & Kashmir and inspire future generations to build a harmonious and united society.

Baldev Singh Billawaria said that the campaign reflects the BJP's commitment to preserving India's rich spiritual and social heritage while connecting people with the teachings of great saints. He expressed confidence that the sacred Kalash from Varanasi would inspire devotees across the Union Territory and encourage society to embrace the ideals of equality, compassion, and service. He also extended his best wishes to the delegation for a successful and spiritually enriching journey.

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.
