ANANTNAG: As part of the ongoing Seva Parv campaign, Kokernag Development Authority (KDA) under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and in collaboration with SDPO Achabal, today organized an awareness-cum-cleanliness drive at Achabal. The drive commenced from Achabal Chowk and culminated at the historic Achabal Garden.

Employees from KDA and other departments, along with local volunteers, actively participated in the initiative. They collected garbage and litter from the roadsides and within Achabal Garden to restore cleanliness and spread awareness about environmental responsibility.

Speaking on the occasion, CEO KDA said that Seva Parv offers an opportunity to reinforce the importance of cleanliness and environmental care while also expediting developmental works.

He further added that a series of activities under Seva Parv will continue within the KDA jurisdiction till October 2, 2025, focusing on community service, public welfare, cleanliness drives, awareness campaigns, and outreach programmes.

Participants pledged to continue their efforts towards maintaining cleanliness and preserving the natural beauty of Achabal, making it a model for sustainable development and community participation.

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.
