In addition, she enthusiastically participated in various cultural performances, promoting teamwork, confidence, and national integration among NCC cadets from different parts of the country.

Congratulating the cadet on her successful participation, Lieut. Dr Varun Dutta, NCC Coordinator, SMVDU, and Dr Yati Aggrawal, In-charge, Air Wing NCC, stated that attachment camps at premier defence establishments like the Air Force Academy are highly prestigious and play a vital role in the overall development of a cadet's personality.

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.
