REASI: Deputy Commissioner Reasi, Nidhi Malik today chaired a meeting with Krishi Udyamis managing Kisan Khidmat Ghars (KKGs) to review their functioning and progress. The Deputy Commissioner reviewed the revenue generation, transactions, and overall operational status of the Kisan Khidmat Ghars. She also interacted with the Krishi Udyamis to understand the challenges faced by them in running these centers effectively.

To promote the role of KKGs, the DC directed the concerned officers to conduct extensive outreach programs to promote the services offered through these centers. She encouraged the Krishi Udyamis to work proactively towards expanding the business potential of KKGs and to make them self-sustaining enterprises. DC Malik further stressed on organizing  regular training sessions for Krishi Udyamis and providing them study materials to enhance their knowledge of the KKG online portal.  She also noted that KKGs can function as Common Service Centres (CSCs) to offer a wider range of public services.

The Deputy Commissioner advised the Krishi Udyamis to apply for licenses for seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, which would not only help them generate additional income but also create greater awareness among farmers about the services available at Kisan Khidmat Ghars. CPO Narinder Kumar, Chief Agriculture Officer, Chief Animal Husbandry Officer, District Sheep Husbandry Officer and other officers were present in the meeting.

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.
