  • Calls for coordinated efforts, encouraging maximum public participation

KATHUA: Deputy Commissioner Kathua Rajesh Sharma today chaired a meeting of concerned officers to review the preparations for the smooth conduct of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ and ‘Vande Mataram’ campaigns in the district.

The meeting discussed the proposed day-wise activities and programmes to be organised under the twin campaigns, besides deliberating upon the role and responsibilities of various departments for ensuring their effective implementation.

The Deputy Commissioner stressed the need for close inter-departmental coordination and directed the concerned officers to ensure that all planned activities are organised in a befitting and meaningful manner. He called for encouraging active participation of people from all sections of society so that the campaigns reach both urban and rural communities across the district.

Emphasising the importance of community ownership, the DC called upon the departments to involve educational institutions, youth, women, PRIs, civil society organisations, market associations and other stakeholders in the planned activities. He underscored that the campaigns should reflect the spirit of patriotism, national unity and collective participation.

The DC further directed the officers to organise the day-wise calendar of activities and ensure timely execution, proper coordination and wide dissemination of the programmes to maximise public participation.

The meeting was attended by ADC Mahima Madan, PO ICDS Mohammed Syed Khan, GM DIC Mushtaq Chaudhary, IAS Probationer Nidhi, CPO Ranjeet Thakur and other district officers concerned.

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.
