KISHTWAR: The Chief Agriculture Officer (CAO) Kishtwar, Amjad Hussain Malik, held a meeting with farmers and ex-PRI members in the Yurdoo Panchayat of Marwah to discuss various activities of the Agriculture and Allied Departments in the aspirational block of Marwah. During the meeting, CAO launched the Farmer Producer Organization saturation drive from Marwah, specifically targeting the FPOs of the Kishtwar District.

Members of the Himalayan Rajmash Farmers Producers Cooperative Ltd. actively participated in this significant initiative. The CAO Kishtwar's visit to the Marwah subdivision was part of his scheduled activities to monitor the overall development initiatives aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of the area.

His visit also included an assessment of the progress index of various projects and activities being implemented in the subdivision. The FPO saturation drive is expected to strengthen the cooperative movement among farmers, providing them with better market access and increased bargaining power.

The CAO emphasized the importance of such interactions and initiatives in fostering a collaborative approach towards agricultural development. The district administration remains committed to driving forward various development activities in Marwah, aiming to uplift the socio-economic status of the local population through targeted agricultural and allied sector initiatives.

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.
