JAMMU: J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul chaired a meeting of the State Team and Assembly Constituency Convenors of the Digital Learning Programme at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. J&K BJP Secretary and Incharge of the Digital Learning Programme Pawan Sharma was also present.

The meeting reviewed the progress of the Digital Learning Programme and deliberated on strategies to effectively expand the BJP Digital Learning Platform up to the Shakti Kendra and Booth levels. Detailed discussions were held on ensuring maximum participation of party activists, strengthening organizational outreach through digital tools, and making the programme more structured, interactive, and result-oriented.

Ashok Koul, while addressing the meeting, said that the BJP has always remained a cadre-based organization where ideological clarity and disciplined organizational functioning are its greatest strengths. He said that the Digital Learning Programme is a major step towards equipping every party activist with comprehensive knowledge about the BJP's glorious journey, ideological foundations, organizational structure, and the contributions of its great leaders from the days of Bharatiya Jana Sangh to the present-day BJP.

Koul said that technology has become an indispensable tool for strengthening organizations and connecting workers across every corner of the country. He stressed that every activist, irrespective of age or location, should become part of the Digital Learning Programme so that the party's ideology, vision, and organizational values reach the grassroots in a systematic manner. He added that the BJP's ideology of nationalism, good governance, cultural pride, social justice, and Antyodaya continues to provide relevant and practical solutions to contemporary challenges while working for the welfare of every section of society and strengthening the nation.

Pawan Sharma said that the Digital Learning Programme has been designed to make organizational training more accessible, uniform, and effective. He informed that special efforts will be made to ensure participation from every Assembly Constituency, Shakti Kendra, and Booth, enabling thousands of activists to benefit from the platform. He said the initiative will not only deepen the ideological understanding of party workers but also enhance their organizational capabilities, communication skills, and digital proficiency, creating a well-informed, confident, and future-ready cadre capable of effectively serving both the party and society.

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.
