REASI: Reasi district has demonstrated exceptional progress in governance by securing the 5th rank in the District Good Governance Index (DGGI) 4.0 among Jammu & Kashmir districts- a dramatic leap from its 20th position in DGGI 3.0. This leap of 15 positions is the highest improvement recorded among all districts, highlighting Reasi’s dedicated efforts towards administrative excellence and effective services delivery.

Adding to this achievement, Reasi has secured Rank 1 in Citizen-Centric Governance, emerging as the top-performing district in this critical category. This reflects the administration’s strong focus on delivering quality public services, ensuring transparency, and fostering trust between the government and citizens.

The district has also shown improvement in 8 out of 10 key sectors assessed under DGGI 4.0. These sectors include Human Resource Development, Financial Inclusion, Legal & Public Safety, Social Welfare and Industries & Commerce, among others. The steady progress across these areas underscores the district’s comprehensive and balanced development approach.

The Reasi administration credits this success to the collaborative efforts of government officials, frontline workers, and citizens who have actively contributed to the transformation. This recognition serves as a powerful motivation to sustain the momentum and continue advancing toward higher standards of governance and public satisfaction.

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.
