  • Sanction letter handed over to beneficiaries under HADP

SAMBA: District Commissioner (DC) Samba, Abhishek Sharma, chaired the Block Divas at Panchayat Mananu, Nud block today, aiming to address the grievances of the local populace at the grassroots level.

At the outset of the event, the Deputy Commissioner handed over the sanction letter for 02 vermi compost pits and 01 mushroom shed to beneficiaries under HADP. This initiative empowers local farmers with sustainable agriculture practices. 

As part of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, DC Sharma also kicked off the District Administration's plantation drive, "Plant for Mother," underscoring the Administration's pledge towards environmental conservation, promoting green practices, and combating climate change.

During the session, several issues were raised by the public, including the installation of a transformer at Balore village, construction of a culvert on the link road of Balore, deployment of additional staff at the veterinary centre, improvements to the Mohargarh to Mansar road, installation of crates at Chilla Danga, repairs on Papad Brahmana to Bagaar, Papad Avtara road, Nud to Sai road, shifting of a transformer to Sarai Middle School, and the construction of crates at Sarai Village, Bupnergarh road, and Mansar to Gangial road.

DC directed the officers to address all grievances within a set timeframe. He instructed the Executive Engineer PMGSY to include Bupnergarh road in PMGSY plans. The general public expressed gratitude to the district administration for fulfilling their previous demands, including a borewell at Chilla Danga and the start of bus service in the Chilla Danga area.

The DC emphasized that there should be no duplication of works included in plans by two different departments. The status of grievances addressed in previous Block Divas sessions was also reviewed. The event saw the participation of the GM DIC Samba, ACD, SDM Vijaypur, Exen PDD, Ex En PWD and PHE, Tehsildar, BDO, and other district and sectoral officers.

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.
