REASI: In a significant move to promote employment opportunities among the local youth, a meeting of District Level Task Force Committee (DLTFC) was convened today here under the chairmanship of the District Development Commissioner Vishesh  Mahajan.

The meeting, held in the VC hall of the DC Office Complex, was organised to assess applications under the Jammu & Kashmir Rural Employment Generation Programme (JKREGP), with J&K Khadi and Village Industries Board (KVIB) as the implementing agency. The DC   emphasised that the Reasi Administration is taking every possible step to give imputes to employment generation in the District.

After a detailed interview of applicants seeking financial assistance under the JKREGP scheme, 61 out of total 95 applications were forwarded for sponsorship to banks as 34 applicants did not turn up for the meeting.

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.
