SRINAGAR: Amid heavy downpour, the Secretary Legislative Assembly, Manoj Kumar Pandit, today hoisted the National Flag on the 78th Independence Day here in the lawns of the Assembly Complex in presence of officers and officials of the Assembly.

While addressing the gathering, Secretary remarked that besides celebrating our Independence it is also time to remember the sacrifices of our freedom fighters, who fought tirelessly for safeguarding our rights and liberties. He made out that it is also time to honour the visionaries who shaped the destiny of our nation and the unsung heroes who continue to contribute to its progress.

He reminisced that over the years, India has made tremendous strides in the fields of science, technology, arts and culture and has been a shining example of democracy, diversity and resilience being the largest democratic country in the world. He however voiced that this journey is far from over as we still face challenges that require collective efforts and determination.

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.
