SRINAGAR: On the eve of 10th Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo today administered ‘Unity Pledge’ to the officers and officials of Civil Secretariat here. Jammu based employees participated in the pledge ceremony through video conferencing.

These civil servants solemnly pledged that they dedicate themselves to preserve the unity, integrity and security of the nation and would also strive hard to spread this message among other countrymen. They also pledged that in the spirit of unification of the country they resolve to make contribution to ensure internal security of their country.

Pertinent to mention here that the day is celebrated to commemorate the contribution of India’s first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in the unification of this country. Today it was Sardar Patel’s 150th Birth anniversary and from the year 2014 the day is commemorated as ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’ all over the country.

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.
