DODA: The Department of Social Forestry, Jammu and Kashmir, organized a significant Green Drive today at Ganpat Pul, Doda, under the theme "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam". The event, spearheaded by the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of the Social Forestry Division Doda, witnessed enthusiastic participation from district administration and the community.

Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh inaugurated the plantation drive alongside the DFO of Social Forestry Division and Tehsildar. Teams from the forest department and local volunteers actively participated in planting a variety of saplings to enhance green cover and promote environmental awareness.

The Deputy Commissioner highlighted the importance of community participation in such initiatives and emphasized the role of trees in combating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and improving overall quality of life. The theme "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" was appreciated as a heartfelt dedication to mothers and the nurturing role trees play in sustaining life.

The Green Drive serves as a step towards making Doda greener and more sustainable, aligning with the government’s vision of environmental conservation. The Department of Social Forestry extends gratitude to all participants and encourages the community to continue supporting such efforts for a healthier and greener future.

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.
