KULGAM: As part of the ongoing Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan, a series of awareness cum saturation camps were held in tribal villages including Avil and other Scheduled Tribe (ST) dominated areas of the district. The camps aimed to raise awareness among tribal populations about various government welfare schemes, and ensure on-spot registration and enrollment of eligible beneficiaries under flagship programmes.

Departments including Social Welfare, Health, Education, ICDS, Agriculture, and Rural Development actively participated in the initiative. Special focus was laid on saturation of schemes including PMJAY-SEHAT, PM Awas Yojana, PM Ujjwala Yojana, pension schemes, and other welfare initiatives. Citizens were also sensitized about the rights and entitlements available to them under various tribal welfare legislations and schemes.

Officials facilitated on-the-spot documentation, verification, and registration processes to ensure maximum coverage and benefit delivery at the grassroots level. IEC materials were also distributed for wider dissemination of information.

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.
