JAMMU: As part of the Nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 3.0, the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare (DoPPW) is organizing DLC camps in Jammu tomorrow on 13th November 2024. The campaign, aimed at assisting pensioners with the digital submission of life certificates, will be hosted at different places in Jammu including Arnia, Bari Brahmna, Miran Saheb, R. S. Pura and at India Post Payments Bank Mubarak Mandi Near Old Court, Jammu.Under Secretary from DoPPW, Shri Pravesh Kumar will visit the camp locations to assist pensioners in using various digital methods for life certificate submission.

Additionally, UIDAI representatives will provide support to update Aadhaar records as needed and address any technical issues.DoPPW is organising this countrywide campaign from November 1 to November 30 and its objective is to streamline the submission of life certificates for pensioners via Face Authentication technology. This approach allows pensioners to submit their certificates conveniently through Aadhaar-based face recognition on Android smartphones.

The objective of the campaign is to ensure that even pensioners in remote areas or with limited-mobility can benefit from this streamlined and accessible system. Earlier, pensioners were required to visit Pension Disbursing Authorities to submit life certificates, which was challenging, especially for elderly individuals. In 2014, DoPPW introduced Digital Life Certificates (Jeevan Pramaan), followed by the launch of Face Authentication technology in 2021, which eliminated the need for biometric devices thereby making the process more accessible.This year, Campaign 3.0 aims to cover 800 locations nationwide. Key partners include Banks, India Post Payments Bank, Pensioners' Associations, UIDAI, MeitY, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Railways and the Department of Telecommunications.

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.
