SRINAGAR: As part of the nationwide Sewa Parv initiative, the Directorate of Agriculture Kashmir organized a Swachitha pledge ceremony and rally at Lal Mandi, Srinagar. Speaking at the occasion, Director Agriculture Kashmir, Sartaj Ahmad Shah, underscored the department’s commitment to promoting cleanliness and community service .

Dir Shah administered the Swachitha pledge to the staff and led a vibrant rally through the various offices within the Lal Mandi agriculture complex. The event saw enthusiastic participation from the entire staff, including the Chief Agriculture Office, Srinagar and other senior officials.

Highlighting the significance of Sewa Parv, Director Shah said, “This initiative is a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to foster a cleaner and healthier environment. Sewa Parv inspires us to contribute to society through voluntary acts of service, aligning with the vision of a Swachh Bharat.”

The Swachitha pledge and rally are part of a broader series of activities across the Kashmir division, with similar events held in other districts to promote sanitation awareness. The Directorate plans to extend these efforts to its field offices, ensuring sustained momentum in cleanliness and community engagement initiatives.

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.
