RAMBAN: A four-day Orientation-cum-Training Session for the staff associated with digitization of Revenue Records and e-Services was inaugurated here today. The training program, held under the aegis of the Revenue Department, is being conducted to enhance the technical skills and digital competency of the officials tasked with digitization work. The participants include Patwaries, Junior Assistants and Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) deputed from across the district.

On the inaugural day of the 4-day training session, nearly 100 employees participated in the session, which featured expert guidance and hands-on handholding support by Master Trainers from the Revenue Department. The trainees were introduced to the technical and procedural aspects of digitizing critical revenue documents such as Jamabandis, Mussavis (Revenue Maps) and other related records.

The trained staff has been assigned to assist in the comprehensive digitization of all revenue records in the district. The initiative is expected to significantly reduce the dependency on manual records, streamline services delivery and empower citizens with timely access to their land and revenue information through online platforms.

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.
