RAJOURI: The District Employment and Counselling Centre (DECC) today organised a mega job fair at PWD Dak Bungalow, Rajouri, providing a platform for unemployed youth to explore employment opportunities in the private sector. The event was presided over by MLA Thanamandi Muzaffar Iqbal Khan.

The District Employment Officer briefed the gathering on objectives of the mega job fair and the Mission YUVA initiative, highlighting employment and self-employment opportunities being facilitated through the DECC.

MLA Muzaffar Iqbal Khan encouraged unemployed youth to make full use of such initiatives and strive to become job creators rather than job seekers, saying Mission YUVA and similar programmes aim to empower young people through skill development, entrepreneurship and enhanced access to livelihood opportunities.

More than 20 private companies and recruiting agencies set up recruitment stalls, interacting with aspiring candidates and offering opportunities across different sectors. Over 500 unemployed candidates participated, with a large number submitting resumes and completing registration.

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.
