During the meeting, the overall progress under the ongoing Special Mediation Campaign 3.0 “Mediation for the Nation” was reviewed. The Chairman impressed upon all the Mediators to put in their best efforts and to take up the referred matters on priority so that maximum number of cases involving matrimonial disputes, domestic violence, cheque bounce, labour matters, compoundable criminal cases and other civil disputes are settled amicably between the parties.

He stressed that mediation is the most effective mode of Alternative Dispute Resolution which not only reduces the pendency but also helps in restoring cordial relations between the parties.

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.
