SAMBA: As part of the ongoing Har Ghar Tiranga campaign being observed from 2nd to 15th August 2025 under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, educational institutions across District Samba embraced the spirit of patriotism through vibrant Tiranga-inspired wall and board decorations during the Phase I of the initiative.

Schools across Samba transformed their premises into canvases of nationalism. School walls and display boards came alive with patriotic murals, creative posters, hand-painted Tricolours, and inspiring slogans, reflecting the indomitable spirit of freedom.

These artistic expressions not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the campuses but also served as powerful visual reminders of India’s unity and heritage. The activities fostered a profound sense of pride and belonging among students, teachers, and the wider community. The campaign continues to witness enthusiastic participation and collective zeal as District Samba marches towards the grand celebration of Independence Day.

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.
