SRINAGAR: A meeting of District Level Implementation Committee on Mission Youth schemes was Monday convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Srinagar, Dr. Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat to review the execution of Mission Youth schemes including Mumkin, Tejaswini and Spurring Entrepreneurship Initiative (SEI) in the District. During the meeting, a total of 34 cases were approved under various Mission Youth schemes including 16 cases under SEI scheme, 14 cases under Mumkin scheme and 04 cases under Tejaswini scheme to provide self-employment to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Speaking on the occasion, the DC/Chairman DLIC highlighted the importance of these self-employment initiatives in fostering youth empowerment within the district. He stressed on giving wide publicity to these schemes so that maximum unemployed youth can avail benefits. The Chairman DLIC impressed upon all the stakeholders to create an enabling environment through Government sponsored schemes, where youth can think beyond Government jobs and opt for gainful self-employment.

While expressing his displeasure over poor performance of certain banks by rejecting the cases approved by DLIC, the DC advised the banks operating in district to go an extra mile and show empathy towards the unemployed youth in guiding them towards the path of prosperity and self-sufficiency through various Government sponsored self-employment schemes tailored in accordance to their entrepreneurial aspirations.

General Manager DIC Srinagar, Hamida Akhter; Chief Planning Officer Srinagar, Fayaz Ahmad; ARTO, Syed Farhana Asgar, Deputy Director Employment, Dr. Sheeba Inayat; District Social Welfare Officer, Dr Mukhtar Ahmad, Lead District Manager Srinagar, representatives from JKEDI & KVIB and other concerned were present in the meeting.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
