REASI: A review meeting to assess the progress of the Awareness and saturation camps in 44 selected tribal villages under Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan was held here today. Additional District Development Commissioner Sukhdev Singh Samyal chaired the meeting.

The ADDC took a detailed review focusing on the number of beneficiaries who have availed the government schemes and services during the camps. It was informed that regular awareness camps are being organized in 44 identified tribal villages to inform and sensitize tribal communities about key welfare schemes.

The ADDC emphasized the need of 100% saturation of benefits under schemes such as Ayushman Bharat, PM jan Dhan scheme, PM KISAN, besides services like Aadhaar enrollment and issuance of Domicile and other certificates.  He directed the District officers, Tehsildars and BDOs to work collectively to ensure all beneficiaries are covered under the outreach camps. He further directed to seek the support of ASHA workers in identifying the eligible individuals who are yet to receive Aadhaar, Ayushman Cards, or other welfare entitlements.

The meeting was informed that 100% saturation of Poshan Vatika has been achieved in the targeted villages.  The meeting was attended by CPO Narinder Kumar, ACD Vijay Kumar, ACR Nitin Verma, CMO, all BDOs, DIO (info) and other concerned officers.

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.
