JAMMU: The Internal Complaints Committee and Women Development Cell of Government Degree College Paloura, under the aegis of IQAC, on Tuesday organised an awareness-cum-Interaction Programme on “Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace” (POSH) Act, 2013.

The programme had three sessions. In the first session, key speaker Meenu Padha (practicing lawyer, High Court, J&K and Ladakh) addressed students and staff and apprised them about the POSH Act in detail. She discussed exhaustively about the terms related to sexual harassment, the composition of committee, the procedure to file complaint, the penalties etc.

The event was ensued by an interaction session where students actively participated in the discussion and raised their doubts and apprehensions related to the act which were addressed by the speaker and the committee members.

The Principal of the College Dr. Kulvinder Kour cautioned the students regarding the magnitude of the consequences of the penalties of this Act. She advised the students to follow the right path and focus on their career. Prof Geetanjali Multani, Convener, ICC introduced the students with the Committee members and reiterated the commitment of the committee towards safeguarding the rights of women at workplace.

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.
