He commended J&K Bank for its efforts in processing approved cases under Mission Yuva and encouraged the youth to utilize the opportunity to emerge as budding entrepreneurs and create employment opportunities for others. Emphasizing the importance of financial discipline, he urged beneficiaries to avoid defaults and strictly adhere to scheme guidelines.

Deputy Director Employment, Mohammad Nawaz also addressed the gathering and briefed participants about the benefits of Mission Yuva scheme. He highlighted the importance of utilizing the Mission Yuva app to access services and maximize the scheme benefits.

An interactive session with beneficiaries was also held, where participants appreciated the paperless nature of the scheme and the support received in preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs).

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.
