PULWAMA: A plantation drive was conducted today at Boys Higher Secondary School (BHSS) Khrew under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) program. The event was organized by the Nodal Officer of 32-Pampore Constituency under the guidance of the District Election Officer (DEO) Pulwama, Dr. Basharat Qayoom.

As part of the initiative, approximately 50 plant saplings were planted within the school premises, significantly enhancing the green cover and further beautifying the institution. The drive was met with great enthusiasm from both the staff members and the students, who actively participated in the planting of saplings, demonstrating their commitment to environmental sustainability.

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.
