DODA: The Motor Vehicles Department, Doda organized an awareness camp to educate the public about various road safety schemes. The event, held under the supervision of Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO), Rajesh Gupta, aimed to bridge the information gap and ensure that deserving beneficiaries are aware of and can access these vital schemes.

Despite the numerous initiatives like the Hit and Run Scheme, Good Samaritan Scheme, Road Accident Victim Fund, and the Automated Testing Stations (ATS), there has been a noticeable lack of awareness among the general public. This has resulted in many eligible beneficiaries missing out on the benefits intended for them. During the event, the MVD promoted the road safety awareness and benefits of government schemes to the driving license aspirants in Trial Ground.

ARTO emphasized the necessity of such initiatives, stating that these schemes are designed to protect and assist citizens, but they can only be effective if people are aware of them. We are committed to using all available platforms, including print, electronic and social media, to reach the maximum number of people, he added.

The event was well-received by the attendees, who appreciated the efforts of MVD Doda in making crucial information accessible. The department plans to conduct similar camps and utilize diverse media channels to ensure widespread dissemination of information about these lifesaving schemes.

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.
