SRINAGAR: The Director General Youth Services & Sports J&K Anuradha Gupta on Friday kick started the Inter-District UT Level Boxing Competitions at the Indoor Sports Complex, Wazir Bagh, here. She was accompanied by Deputy director Planning YSS, Megha Baogia.

14 districts of the UT of J&K, consisting of 279 boys of all age groups along with 52 technical officials, have reported to participate in the competition. The first phase of the boys’ competitions for all age groups commenced today and is scheduled to culminate on 13th September 2026.

Before the commencement of the competition DG YSS administered a pledge reaffirming drug de-addiction among the youths and young athletes. The initiative reflected the department’s continued emphasis on promoting healthy lifestyles, discipline and sportsmanship among young participants.

The competition is being hosted by District Youth Services & Sports Office Srinagar under the “Compaign Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyan”. The DYSSO Srinagar has put forth all the necessary facilities for the participating athletes, technical officials and escort teachers to ensure the smooth conduct of the event.

The inaugural boxing bout of the competition was played between Ramban and Rajouri, marking the beginning of the UT-level sporting contest. The participation of athletes from 14 districts is expected to provide a competitive platform for young boxers to demonstrate their skills, determination and sporting talent.

The UT-level competition is also aimed at providing young athletes with valuable exposure to higher-level competition while strengthening the sporting culture across Jammu & Kashmir. The event brings together players, technical officials and escort teachers from different districts on a common platform and provides an opportunity for promising boxers to showcase their abilities.

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.
