RAMBAN: On the directions of Deputy Commissioner, Ramban, Baseer-Ul-Haq Chaudhary and under the overall supervision of District Social Welfare Officer, Ramban, Rahul Gupta, a significant legal awareness program was hosted at Ramban Public High School.

Mission Shakti, in collaboration with the Special Women Cell, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) and the One Stop Centre (OSC), organized the event, focusing on women-centric legislation and increasing awareness about the Special Women Cell and OSC for women. 

The programme was part of the 100-day calendar issued under Mission Shakti, an initiative being implemented across the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir under the directives of Mission Director of Mission Shakti, J&K, Harvinder Kour.

In Ramban District, the program was executed with meticulous planning and coordination by Suneha Thakur and Taslima from the Special Cell for Women, along with Muzaima Banoo, Gender Specialist, and Deepa, a paralegal lawyer. Representatives from the DLSA were also present to lend their expertise and support.

Students and teachers actively participated in the session, showing great enthusiasm and interest in understanding the legal protections and services available to women. The event included discussions on various laws aimed at safeguarding women's rights, procedures for seeking help from the Special Women Cell, and the comprehensive support provided by the OSC.

The event not only educated the participants about their legal rights but also highlighted the importance of creating a supportive environment for women in the community. It aimed to equip women with the necessary knowledge to navigate legal challenges and access support services effectively.

The initiative reflects Mission Shakti's commitment to fostering a society where women are informed, empowered, and protected. The program is expected to have a lasting impact, encouraging more women to come forward, seek help, and stand up for their rights.

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.
