BUDGAM: In the run up to the Anti-Tobacco Day to be observed on 31st May, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Budgam in collaboration with Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Forum Hq Delhi today organised an awareness programme cum campaign and a rally at Govt Girls Higher Secondary School (GGHSS) Budgam. The event was successfully conducted under the supervision of O.P Bhagat, Chairman DLSA Budgam and under the guidance of Nusrat Ali Hakak, Secretary DLSA Budgam.

Principal District and Session Judge (Chairman District Legal Services Authority) Budgam in his address said, “As individuals, we have the power to make a difference in the fight against tobacco. By taking action to support anti-tobacco efforts, we can help create a world free from the devastating effects of smoking-related illnesses.”

He avowed, “Let us join together in this important cause and work towards a healthier future for all.” Earlier in her presidential address, Secretary DLSA Budgam, highlighted the harmful effects of tobacco use and insisted on promotion of policies that reduce tobacco consumption. She said, one of the most effective ways to combat tobacco use is through education and awareness campaigns. “By spreading information about the dangers of smoking and the benefits of quitting, we can help individuals make informed decisions about their health,” she added.

Speaking on the occasion, Deputy LADC, Nazir Ahmad Wagay said that despite known dangers, many individuals continue to use tobacco products. Both smokers and non-smokers alike need to be aware of the harmful effects of tobacco use and take steps towards quitting or avoiding exposure altogether.

The programme was actively attended by Syed Gulfar, principal Govt. Girls Hr. Secondary School Budgam; District President Budgam, Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Forum Hq Delhi, Secretary Education Wing J&K (UT) Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Forum Hq Delhi and staff of Govt. Girls Hr. Secondary institute Budgam.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
