SRINAGAR: The Mission Director Poshan Jammu Kashmir, Rubina Kousar Tuesday inaugurated Training for Sanginis under ‘Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi-education along with Nutrition’ at Training Hall, Miskeen Bagh Srinagar. The programme was organized by the District Programme Officer Srinagar.

Among others, District Programme Officer Poshan Srinagar, Deputy Director Poshan Kashmir, CDPO Khanyar, CDPO Srinagar, CDPO Eidgah and CDPO Batwara were present on the occasion. The Mission Director Poshan while addressing the gathering of Supervisors and Sanginis, informed that the Ministry of Women and Child Development has launched ‘Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi’, that is ‘Education along with nutrition’. It is an Early Childhood Care and Education program under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0.

She said the Government is committed to ensuring holistic development of all children under the age of 6 years, with a focus on building their skills in the key development domains identified under the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) viz., physical/motor, cognitive, socio-emotional-ethical, cultural/artistic, and the development of communication and early language, literacy and numeracy under ‘Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi’ which is in pursuance of the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the ECCE Taskforce established by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.

Recommendations of the Task Force were the outcome of exhaustive consultations with State governments, experts and most importantly parents and community. ‘Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi’ will focus on promoting holistic and quality early stimulation and pre-primary education for children, ensuring the use of developmentally appropriate pedagogies and emphasizing the links with primary education as well as early childhood health and nutrition services.

This program will provide for mother tongue as primary teacher instruction medium, different types of teaching-learning material (visual aids, audio aids, audio-visual and bodily-kinesthetic aids) to Anganwadi Sewikas, and help build a Jan Andolan, to involve communities in strengthening the foundations of the country's future generations.

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.
