SRINAGAR: The departments of Islamic Studies and Urdu of Govt. Degree College Ganderbal organized a one-day seminar on “Essence of Ramadan: Nurturing Faith, Discipline and Spiritual Resilience” on Tuesday in the college auditorium. The seminar aimed to explore the significance of fasting in cultivating faith, piety, self-discipline, and spiritual growth.

Under the patronage of the principal of the college, Prof. Fouzia Fatima, the seminar was jointly convened by Dr. Tauseef Ahmad Parray (Assistant Professor/ HOD, Islamic Studies) and Dr. Jamsheeda Akhter (AP/ HOD, Urdu). Prof. Mujeeb Kawoosa (Vice-Principal/ HOD Mathematics) delivered the welcome address, underscoring the significance of the seminar's theme.

Dr. Jamsheeda moderated the seminar and presented an introduction, highlighting the essence and spirit of fasting and the blessings of Ramadan. The seminar began with a recitation of selected verses from Surah al-Baqarah (2: 183-186) by Dr. Ghulam Mustafa, followed by a soulful Naat by Mr. Arsalan Ahmad (6th sem student).

The keynote speaker, Dr. Mohd. Iqbal Malik (Assistant Professor/ HOD, Islamic Studies, GDC Pampore) discussed in detail "Ramadan: Socio-Spiritual and Economic Transformation", emphasizing the social, economic, ethical, and spiritual significance of the fasting and Ramadan. "Fasting is for a change in the society and Ramadan restores the socio-economic fabric of our society", he said.

Two students, Ms. Sakhira Bashir and Mr. Sameer Ahmad Khan, also shared their insights on the seminar's theme. The seminar concluded with the distribution of mementos and certificates, and a vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Nusrat Nabi (AP, Urdu).

The seminar witnessed a significant turnout of students and faculty members, underscoring the importance of the topic and the enthusiasm for intellectual discourse within the academic community.

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.
