LEH: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Ladakh organized an extensive workshop as part of preparations for the forthcoming campaign, “Sankalp Se Siddhi Tak.” The campaign aims to commemorate eleven years of transformative governance under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by taking the government’s achievements directly to the people.

The workshop was presided over by BJP General Secretary (Organization) for Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, Ashok Koul. He was joined by BJP Ladakh President Phunchok Stanzin, former MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, Dy CEC Tsering Amgchuk, Vice-President Gyal P Namgyal, Dorjay Angchuk, Nawang Samstan, General Secretary PT Kunzang, Mahila Morcha State President Rinchen Dolkar, District Presidents from 7 districts, Convenors and co-convenors from Districts and Mandals across the Union Territory of Ladakh.

In his address, Ashok Koul called the campaign a tribute to the remarkable journey of development, governance, and public service initiated by Prime Minister Modi. “The journey from Sankalp (resolution) to Siddhi (realization) is not just a slogan, it represents the unwavering commitment and vision of our leadership,” he stated. He emphasized that the workshop is intended to prepare BJP workers with accurate information, compelling narratives, and a spirit of service to reach every household in Ladakh with the message of progress, nationalism, and inclusive growth.

Koul urged the workers to focus on both physical outreach and digital platforms to highlight the milestones of the Modi government, ranging from infrastructure development and digital transformation to empowerment of women and upliftment of marginalized communities. “We must become the voices that carry the story of change to the last mile,” he asserted.

Phunchok Stanzin underscored the need to reinforce the party at the booth level. “Strong grassroots presence is the key to people’s trust. We must engage with citizens, especially the youth, and make them aware of how their lives have improved in the last eleven years under the Modi government,” he said.

Jamyang Tsering Namgyal motivated the party cadre to remain in constant touch with the people. “We must be receptive to their concerns and ensure their voices are heard at the highest level,” he remarked, encouraging feedback mechanisms as part of the campaign. Tsering Amgchuk elaborated on the district-level strategy and encouraged every activist to act as a link between governance and the people. He emphasized coordinated efforts and full participation to make the campaign impactful and meaningful.

All the senior leaders present pledged to mobilize the full strength of the party machinery at the district, mandal, and booth levels. They assured the leadership that BJP Ladakh will carry out the Sankalp Se Siddhi Tak campaign with dedication, energy, and unwavering commitment to the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

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.
