PULWAMA: Deputy Commissioner Pulwama, Dr. Basharat Qayoom, today inaugurated the CSC Center of Excellence (CoE) for E-Governance at Pulwama, marking a significant step towards strengthening digital governance and enhancing citizen-centric service delivery in the district. 

The Center of Excellence has been established to provide a wide range of digital services under one roof, aimed at improving accessibility, efficiency and transparency in public service delivery.

On the occasion, District Manager, CSC E-Governance, briefed the Deputy Commissioner about the various facilities available at the Centre, including Government-to-Citizen (G2C) services, welfare schemes, financial inclusion services, Aadhaar services, public utility services and e-commerce facilities.

The Deputy Commissioner appreciated the efforts of the CSC operators and stated that such initiatives not only strengthen their livelihood opportunities but also significantly contribute to strengthening e-governance in the district.

Dr. Qayoom emphasized that the Center of Excellence would serve as a one-stop solution for citizens to access various digital and public services in a convenient and transparent manner.

He further directed the District Manager, CSC E-Governance, to carry out extensive Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities to create awareness among the public about the services available at the Centre. He also instructed that the rate list of services be prominently displayed to ensure transparency and prevent overcharging.

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.
