• Flags off IEC van for district-wide awareness campaign

KULGAM: Deputy Commissioner Kulgam, Shahzad Alam today  kick-started the Self-Enumeration process for Census 2027 and flagged off an IEC (Information, Education & Communication) awareness van to spread awareness across the district regarding the ongoing self-enumeration initiative.

On the occasion, the Deputy Commissioner said that the Self-Enumeration facility is aimed at making the Census process more accessible, transparent and citizen-friendly through digital participation. He urged people to actively take part in the exercise and complete their self-enumeration within the notified timeline.

To facilitate smooth and hassle-free registration, dedicated Help Desks have been established at Panchayat Bhawans, Patwar Halqas, Block Offices and Tehsil Offices across the district. Trained teams and digital support systems have also been put in place to assist citizens at every step of the process.

The IEC van will travel across various areas of the district to generate awareness among the public about the importance of Census 2027 and guide citizens regarding the self-enumeration process. Citizens are encouraged to complete self-enumeration online through se.census.gov.in or visit the nearest help desk for assistance.

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.
