SAMBA: An awareness programme on the schemes of the Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Department was organised here today. The programme was conducted under the guidance of the District Development Commissioner Samba Ayushi Sudan and under the supervision of Assistant Director FCS&CA  Rahul Gupta.

The event witnessed wide and diverse participation, including Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealers, Supervisors of Mission POSHAN, Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), representatives from the Education Department, and beneficiaries from different sections of society. The active participation reflected strong inter-departmental coordination and meaningful community engagement.

During the course of the programme, beneficiaries appreciated the proactive role of the FCS&CA Department, particularly highlighting the timely distribution of food grains, enhanced transparency, and effective grievance redressal mechanisms.

The DDC emphasised the importance of transparency, accountability and strict adherence to laid-down guidelines in the implementation of welfare schemes. She stressed the need to leverage technology, strengthen monitoring at the grassroots level, and ensure last-mile delivery without leakages, while calling upon all stakeholders to work with integrity and a strong sense of public service.

The programme concluded with an interactive session, reiterating the district administration’s commitment to people-centric governance, awareness generation, and the efficient delivery of essential services.

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.
