BUDGAM: District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Budgam, in collaboration with Legal Literacy Club Government Higher Secondary School Khan Sahib, Budgam conducted an impactful awareness program at Legal Literacy Club Khan Sahib, which focused on key issues including female foeticide, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.

The event was successfully conducted under the leadership of O.P Bhagat, Chairman DLSA Budgam and under the guidance of Nusrat Ali Hakak, Secretary DLSA Budgam. Abdul Qayoom Shah HOD Botany Legal Literacy Club Khan Sahib Budgam, Dr. Khan Muneer Aslam, Teacher incharge and Mehraj-ud-din Shah PLV DLSA Budgam were the resource persons. They emphasized the importance of the initiative and discussed the grave impact of female foeticide and also apprised the students regarding various provisions of POCSO Act, providing valuable information on child sexual abuse and students’ rights to report such incidents, ensuring they are aware of the legal protections available.

They said that the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act is a comprehensive piece of legislation in India enacted in 2012 to protect children from sexual assault, sexual harassment, and pornography. It aims to provide a safe environment for children and punish offenders, while also offering support and rehabilitation for victims. The Act was amended in 2019 to make punishments more stringent.

The initiative aimed to empower students with crucial knowledge and encourage them to become proactive in promoting gender equality and safeguarding children from harm. The session saw active participation from the school principal, In-charge teacher of the Legal Literacy Club, staff members of Government Girls Higher Secondary School Khan Sahib, and para-legal volunteers from DLSA 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.
