BUDGAM: District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Budgam, under the Aegis of J&K Legal Services Authority, conducted a special training programme on E-Lok Adalat for Panel Lawyers, LADCs and PLVs of DLSA Budgam & TLSCs in the ADR centre, DLSA Budgam. The programme was held under the chairmanship of O.P.Bhagat, Chairman DLSA (Pr.Distt. & Sessions Judge) Budgam and supervision of Nusrat Ali Hakak, Secretary DLSA Budgam

Training aimed to assess the effectiveness and strengthening of the E-Lok Adalat platform, and to improve its accessibility, particularly for rural populations and those with limited technological access.

Lateef Ahmad & Javid Ahmad Mir (Chief LADC & Deputy LADC Budgam) were the resource persons for the said training program. They imparted training on the subject to the participants and apprised them that E-Lok Adalats will reduce the pendency of cases in courts by settling the disputes at pre-litigation stage, which will save money & time of common masses.

They said that the concept of the E-Lok Adalat was conceptualized to improve access to justice for people who were otherwise unable to participate in the Lok Adalats. The training programme concluded with a question answer & interaction session during which participants cleared their doubts and expressed themselves.

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.
