THATHRI: A free medical checkup cum health awareness camp was today organised for senior citizens here at Dak Bunglow Thathri. A joint initiative of the Social Welfare Department and local Community Health Centre (CHC), the camp aimed at providing quality healthcare services to the elderly population.

A dedicated medical team from CHC, headed by BMO Dr. Shakeel Ahmed Kichloo, engaged with the elderly persons and conducted general health check-up, haemoglobin (Hb) testing, screening for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including hypertension and diabetes, TB screening and health counselling. The beneficiaries were also provided free medicines as per their requirement.

The medical team also sensitised the beneficiaries about the importance of regular health check-ups, eating balanced diet, adopting healthy lifestyle practices, medication adherence and timely detection and management of chronic diseases.

The TSWO appreciated the Health Department and the medical team for their support in organising the camp and providing quality healthcare services to senior citizens. He emphasised the importance of continued coordination between the Health and Social Welfare Departments to ensure that elderly beneficiaries have access to essential healthcare 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.
