SRINAGAR: Kargil Vijay Diwas is an opportunity for us to rededicate ourselves to intrepid leadership, grit, selflessness and sacrifice rendered by the Indian Army in the rarefied heights of Kargil, while evicting devious Pakistani aggressors and defending sovereignty of our motherland during the Kargil War of 1999. Kargil Vijay Diwas is hence, just not a date for remembrance but also a day for celebration of patriotism, valour and of our Nation's Resolve. This year we shall celebrate 26th anniversary of our victory by hosting solemn events at Srinagar, Drass and Kargil.

As a pre-cursor to 26^thKargil Vijay Diwas celebrations, AkhilBhartiyaPoorvaSainikSevaParishad initiated an Ex-Servicemen visit to Srinagar, followed by visit to Drass and Kargil as part of Kargil Vijay Diwas 2025, underscoring the spirit and fervour of patriotism amongst the Armed Forces Veterans. The team of our valiant Veterans & Veer Naris was led byRear Admiral Rajvir Singh (Retd), who held the prestigious appointment of Principal of Indian Naval Academy before superannuation, arrived at BadamiBagh Cantonment,Srinagar on 02 Jul 2025. The Veterans & Veer Naris paid obeisance and tribute at the Chinar War Memorial, visited "Ibadat-e-Shahadat" museum and took a walk through the rich heritage & culture of Jammu and Kashmir as well as the history of valour of the Indian Army &Chinar Corps towards vanquishing our enemy and in establishing peace in the Kashmir Valley.

The team interacted with the Chinar Corps Commander and discussed the role of Ex-Servicemen, in collaborating with the Kashmiri society towards Nation Building. The Corps Commander lauded the energy, spirit and camaraderie of the Veterans and the KargilBravehearts which epitomise the moto of "NaamNamakaurNishaan" and highlights the fact that “Once a Soldier Always a Soldier".

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.

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.
