KISHTWAR: The District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) Kishtwar has rolled out three major training programmes across remote educational zones, aimed at strengthening teacher capacity at the grassroots level. Inaugurated virtually by Principal, Tirath Lal and senior academic officers, the initiative ensures teachers in far-flung areas like Padder and Bunjwah receive direct academic support without travel hurdles.

At GHSS Padder, a five-day workshop on HPC development and question bank preparation is underway, coordinated by Novel Kishore. HSS Sarthal hosts a five-day orientation on mathematics content enrichment and pedagogy under Ramesh Kumar, while HSS Binoon conducts training on computer education and ICT integration led by Shabir Hussain.

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.
