AWANTIPORA: The Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), is set to organize the University's first HR Conclave on Wednesday, June 24. The Conclave is being organized by the Centre for Career Counselling and Placements (CCCP) and Industry Connect under the aegis of the Dean Outreach. The conclave aims to strengthen the interface between academia and industry while fostering meaningful dialogue on emerging workforce requirements, employability, and the future of skills.

The conclave is being organized around the theme "Youth, Skills and Employment Summit 2026: Bridging Academia and Industry for Sustainable Careers." It will bring together human resource professionals, industry leaders, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, academicians, policy practitioners, faculty members, career resource coordinators, and students on a common platform to deliberate on the evolving employment landscape and the competencies required for future-ready graduates.

Over the years, IUST has established itself as a university committed to academic excellence, innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry engagement. Through an ecosystem of research, technology development, internships, placements, innovation, and academic outreach, the University has consistently worked towards enhancing the employability of its students while building enduring partnerships with industry and institutions. The Conclave will focus on contemporary recruitment trends, emerging skill requirements, industry-academia collaboration, leadership competencies, and strategies for preparing graduates for dynamic career pathways.

The HR Conclave is expected to emerge as an annual platform for knowledge exchange, policy dialogue, and strategic partnerships, with the aim to nurture skilled human capital and contribute to sustainable economic and social development.

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.
