DODA: An impactful environmental awareness programme was organized today at Khalleni by Live For Others-Being Helpful Foundation (NGO) in collaboration with 48 Rashtriya Rifles and Talla Jewellers. The initiative was supported by New Standard Higher Secondary School Khalleni, Government HSS Khalleni and Navdurga Parbandhan Committee Dedhni.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Doda, Harvinder Singh was the Chief Guest on the occasion. He flagged off the programme, which aimed at educating the public about the importance of cleanliness and sustainable waste management.

In his address, the DC emphasized the vital role that every individual plays in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. He stressed the need for proper waste collection, segregation and recycling and highlighted how a healthy environment contributes to improved livelihoods, better lifestyles and cognitive development, particularly among children.

Certificates of appreciation were presented by the NGO to the Chief Guest and other dignitaries for their valuable support and participation in the programme. The awareness drive saw active participation from Tehsildar, BDO, principals, school staff, students, NGOs, and local residents, creating a strong message of collective responsibility toward environmental conservation.

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.
