JAMMU: Mahatma Sant Ram B.A Education Mission Jammu (MSREM) felicitated Jagriti Sangotra, daughter of Ravi Kumar and Renu Kumari of Gorkh Nagar, Bahu Fort, Jammu, for her outstanding achievement of winning the gold medal at the 17th National Kalarippayattu Championship held in Kerala.
The felicitation ceremony was graced by F.C. Satia, Convenor MSREM and State President of All India Backward Classes Federation, along with Er. Manga Ram, Er. G.R. Dafara, Dr. Nek Ram, and Sham Lal Basson, Ex-Councillor, who presented bouquets, a trophy, and books to Ms. Jagriti Sangotra in recognition of her exemplary accomplishment.
Speaking on the occasion, F.C. Satia applauded Jagriti for representing Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory with distinction. He highlighted her exceptional performance in the Senior Girls Kaipporu event (60-70 kg category), where she won six consecutive fights, demonstrating remarkable courage, endurance, and martial arts skill to claim the Gold Medal and bring glory to the region.
Er. M.R. Prajapati, Chairman of MSREM, and Er. G.R. Dafara, General Secretary, also extended heartfelt congratulations to Jagriti, describing her as a great inspiration for the youth of Jammu & Kashmir.
Sham Lal Basson, Ex-Councillor, congratulated Jagriti and her family for this outstanding achievement. He emphasized the significance of Kalarippayattu—also known as Kalari—an ancient martial art originating from Kerala’s southwestern coast. He noted that Jagriti serves as a strong role model for young girls, particularly in the area of self-defense. Learning Kalarippayattu helps develop physical strength, flexibility, coordination, courage, and self-confidence, empowering girls with the ability to protect themselves.
The Mahatma Sant Ram B.A Education Mission Jammu praised Jagriti Sangotra for her dedication and wished her continued success in all future endeavors.
In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family
I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan
When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.
Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.
For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
