JAMMU: General Manager of District Industries Centre (DIC) Jammu, Abhishek Abrol in collaboration with the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) Jammu organized a significant Grievance Redressal Workshop aimed at streamlining the claim filing process under the New Central Sponsored Scheme (NCSS) for Industrial Development of Jammu and Kashmir. The workshop was held under the chairmanship of Joint Director (M&P), Directorate of Industries, Jammu, Nasir Ali.

The workshop, held at the conference hall of Directorate of Industries and Commerce, witnessed active participation from 30+ investors hailing from the Jammu region. The primary objective of this workshop was to address the existing information gaps and resolve grievances encountered by investors in navigating the NCSS framework.

During the interactive session, industry stakeholders were provided with detailed insights into the claim filing procedures under NCSS. Key aspects such as eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and timelines for claims were thoroughly discussed, ensuring a comprehensive understanding among participants.

The workshop also served as a platform for investors to voice their concerns and seek clarifications directly from the DIC Jammu and PIU Jammu officials. This proactive approach towards grievance redressal not only promotes transparency but also fosters a conducive environment for industrial growth in the region.

Nasir Ali emphasized the importance of such initiatives in bridging information gaps and fostering trust between the government and the investor community. The collaborative efforts of DIC Jammu and PIU Jammu underscore their commitment to facilitating a conducive ecosystem for industrial development in Jammu and Kashmir.

This workshop reflects a broader commitment to ensuring efficient implementation and uptake of the NCSS for Industrial Development of JK, aligning with the government's vision of promoting sustainable economic growth and employment generation in the region.

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.
