‎‎RAJOURI: To ensure smooth and effective implementation of the Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar & Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G), the Rural Development Department today organised a day-long training session for field functionaries here in the Conference Hall of PWD Dak Bungalow.

‎‎The training was conducted on the directions of Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Sharma, to sensitise field functionaries about the provisions, planning process and implementation modalities of the new programme.

‎‎Earlier, Master Trainers from Rajouri had attended a State-level training programme at Jammu. These trained Master Trainers subsequently imparted the necessary orientation to field functionaries at the district level.

‎‎The participants were briefed on key aspects of VB-G RAM G and the preparatory requirements for the upcoming planning exercise scheduled for October 2. The training aimed to ensure that the planning process is undertaken in a coordinated, systematic and hassle-free manner at the grassroots level.

‎‎Assistant Commissioner Development (ACD) interacted with the participating field functionaries. He stressed upon the importance of proper understanding of the guidelines and coordinated efforts for effective implementation of the programme.

All the Block Development Officers, Block Master Trainers and technical staff participated in the day long workshop. ‎‎The session concluded with emphasis on timely preparedness, effective coordination and proper execution of the planning process for successful rollout of VB-G RAM G in the district.

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.
