POONCH: With the mission to ensure that every voter in Poonch district regardless of their location is well-informed and ready to exercise their democratic rights, the District SVEEP Team Poonch (Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation) under the aegis of District Election Officer Poonch, Vikas Kundal conducted an outreach program in the border village of Dhokri Banwat. The initiative focused on engaging various categories of voters, including first-time voters, women and senior citizens to ensure that every eligible voter is informed and motivated to participate in the upcoming elections.

The visit aims to reach even the interior most areas of the district reinforcing the administration's commitment to inculcate voter education. The SVEEP team interacted with local residents discussing the importance of voting and providing guidance on the electoral process. Special emphasis was placed on making informed decisions and understanding the power of each vote.

During the visit, the team also listened to the concerns of the villagers, addressing any challenges they face in accessing polling stations and ensuring their voices are heard. The interaction was both educational and empowering the teams answering questions from the community members regarding any election-related queries.

This outreach program serves as a testament to the administration’s dedication to conduct free, fair and transparent elections even in the most challenging and geographically isolated regions. Through these concerted efforts, the administration aspires to ensure that every voter is registered and actively engaged in the democratic process fully appreciating the significance of their participation.

Your voice can reach the world: At JK Monitor, we firmly believe that every well-researched idea has the power to inspire change beyond geographical boundaries.

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.
