RAMBAN: On the directions of District Development Commissioner RAMBAN Baseer-Ul-Haq Chaudhary, the District Employment and Counselling Centre (DECC) Ramban organized an awareness camp at Gool Residency in Gool town of District Ramban. This camp, held in collaboration with the Block Development Office (BDO) Gool, aimed to educate unemployed youth about self-employment schemes under the Mission Youth initiative of Government of Jammu and Kashmir and provide them with resources to kickstart their Entrepreneurship career.

Lovepreet Singh, Youth Professional from DECC Ramban, along with Waseem Shan, addressed the public gathering and delivered detailed demonstrations on the self-employment schemes available under the Mission Youth program which includes Mumkin, Tejaswini and Spurring Entrepreneurship Initiative.

 They meticulously explained the application process, eligibility requirements, and the various benefits these schemes offer, encouraging the local youth to take proactive steps towards self-reliance. More than 80 youth were present in the camp and 12 registrations were made on the spot for self employment schemes.

In addition to the discussions on self-employment, the camp also provided insights into employment-related services, including the JK Employment Portal and the National Career Service (NCS) Portal. These platforms are designed to assist job seekers by offering job listings, career counseling, and skill development programs. The DECC Ramban's initiative, in collaboration with the BDO office Gool, was well-received by the participants, who expressed their gratitude for the comprehensive guidance provided.

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.
