JAMMU: J&K BJP President Sat Sharma (CA), along with BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, chaired a crucial meeting of senior party leaders at the party headquarters in Jammu to discuss and strategize the upcoming Professional Meets being organized under the “Sankalp Se Siddhi” campaign.

BJP Headquarters Incharge and former Minister Priya Sethi, All Cells Incharge Rakesh Mahajan, Spokesperson Gourav Gupta, All Cells Co-Incharge Ved Sharma, Rajeev Pandita, Basant Taj Thakur, Pt. Ashok Khajuria, Pawan Singh, Adv. Parimoksh Seth, Sham Langer, Ashutosh Gupta, Adv. Rajesh Thappa, Ravi Bakshi, Mukherjee Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, and several other senior party functionaries attended the meeting.

Addressing the gathering, Sat Sharma lauded the exemplary 11 years of governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terming it a period of inclusive development and upliftment of the neglected sections of society. He emphasized that these years reflect a transformational shift in public welfare and nation-building. Sharma called upon the BJP Cell Convenors across Jammu and Kashmir to take these achievements to every corner of society through effective outreach.

He further underlined the significance of involving professionals—engineers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, chartered accountants, technocrats, and others in this initiative. “Professionals form an intellectual layer of society that plays a vital role in national progress. We must ensure their active participation in the upcoming meets and bring them closer to the BJP’s vision of a developed India,” he said.

Ashok Koul, while interacting with the attendees, outlined the thematic focus of these Professional Meets. He informed that subjects such as “Viksit Bharat Ki Sankalpana Avum Hamari Bhumika,” “Sewa, Sushasan Aur Gareeb Kalyan Ke 11 Varsh,” and “Sashakt Bharat Surakshit Bharat (Operation Sindoor)” would be highlighted through presentations and speeches by senior party leaders and experts.

Priy Sethi stressed for a collective resolve to make the Professional Meets a grand success, ensuring wide participation and impactful dissemination of the government's achievements. Rakesh Mahajan presented the schedule of the Professional Meets to be held at various organizational levels. He assured that trained resource persons will present factual and impactful data to the delegates during these programs, thereby reinforcing the transformative journey of the Modi-led government.

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.
