BANDIPORA:  HKM Degree College Bandipora today launched the Swachhta Pakhwada and Plantation Campaign with the objective of fostering a cleaner and healthier India through tree planting, aiming to embed this practice into our cultural ethos. 

The initiative was inaugurated by the  Principal, Prof. (Dr.) Tariq Hussain Bhat. The launch event comprised two main activities including  a Swachhta Pledge Ceremony where both staff and students pledged their commitment to cleanliness and  tree plantation drive under the slogan "Ek ped Shaheedon ke naam, Ek ped Maa ke naam."

The Principal Prof. Tariq Hussain Bhat led the plantation drive  by planting a tree, encouraging others to participate wholeheartedly. The event garnered enthusiastic participation from students, NSS volunteers, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff, underscoring its success.

 The meticulous organisation and dedication of NSS Programme Officers Prof. Irshad Ahmad Bhat and Professor Bilquees Rasool were instrumental in the smooth execution of the campaign launch and  promoting environmental awareness and community engagement in the pursuit of a cleaner and greener nation.

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.
