  • Calls for coordinated Youth-Centric Action

BARAMULLA: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Baramulla, Dr. S.F Hamid today chaired a meeting of the My Bharat District Advisory Committee (MYB-DAC) to review and deliberate upon the implementation of Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) initiatives in the district.

The meeting focused on strengthening inter-departmental convergence, youth participation and effective implementation of youth-oriented programmes under the MY Bharat framework.

The DC stressed the need for coordinated efforts by all concerned departments and stakeholders to ensure meaningful engagement of youth in developmental, social, cultural, sports and nation-building activities.

The meeting was attended by the Additional District Development Commissioner Baramulla, Pranjal J. Hazarika, District Youth Officer, MY Bharat, Baramulla, and representatives from various departments and institutions, including Industries, Health, Education, Panchayati Raj, Social Welfare, Information, Employment, Skill Development, NSS, NCC, Bharat Scouts & Guides, Youth Services & Sports and other stakeholder organisations.

The DC emphasised that the MY Bharat platform should be effectively utilised to connect young people with opportunities for volunteering, leadership, skill development and community participation. He called for regular coordination and monitoring so that youth-centric initiatives reach beneficiaries at the grassroots level.

The meeting also deliberated on the role of the My Bharat District Samavay Committee (MYB-DSC) as the executive mechanism for translating the strategic directions of the District Advisory Committee into actionable plans and ensuring timely field-level implementation.

The DC directed the concerned stakeholders to maintain close coordination, prepare actionable plans and ensure regular reviews of progress, with a focus on providing young people with greater opportunities to contribute to the development of the district.

The meeting marked an important step towards building a coordinated district-level ecosystem for empowering youth and channelising their energy towards constructive community engagement and nation-building.

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.
