REASI: Deputy Commissioner Reasi, Vishash Mahajan convened a meeting of the newly selected Krishi Udyamis and District officers of Agriculture and allied sectors in presence of ADDC Reasi Sukhdev Singh Samyal and Chief Planning officer Reasi Narinder Gupta to discuss the various issues regarding successful  launch of Kissan Khidmat Ghars (KKGs) in District.

Krishi Udyami is a government scheme aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and promoting the employment generation of unemployed youth. During the meeting, the DC stressed on the need to work in coordination to uplift the financial status of the farming community by transforming farmers from being mere producers to entrepreneurs. He stressed the concerned departments to put in all efforts in this direction.

He highlighted that young educated farmers must be motivated and guided to come forward and adopt agriculture and allied activities as income generating ventures. He also discussed the preparedness for opening of Kisan Khidimat Ghars (KKGs) in the district. He said that KKG is a one stop shop for farmers to connect with everything related to agriculture and allied sectors. These KKGs will provide access to all agri inputs besides crop and weather advisory. This initiative will provide employment opportunities to youth and easy online access to government schemes.

More than 40 Krishi Udyamis were present on the occasion. Chief Agriculture Officer Reasi Harbans Singh gave a detailed overview of the job profile of Krishi Udyami and presentation of HADP through PPT mode. Besides, district level officers of allied departments also highlighted their schemes.

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.
