REASI: The District Programme Officer (DPO) Poshan Reasi Mohammad Anwar Banday on Thursday inaugurated a 6 day training program for Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) of Poshan Project Pouni under the "Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi" initiative here at DIET campus.

The training, which is part of the Poshan Project, will run from December 5 to December 11, 2024 in two separate batches (1st batch from 05.12.2024 to 07.12.2024 & 2nd batch from 09.12.2024 to 11.12.2024). The program is being implemented under the Saksham Anganwadi initiative and Mission Poshan 2.0, aimed at building the capacity of Anganwadi workers and strengthening the delivery of early childhood care and education (ECCE) services.

In his inaugural address, the District Programme Officer emphasized the significance of the training, which will empower Anganwadi Workers to provide high-quality, play-based ECCE services at the grassroots level. This initiative aims to equip AWWs with the necessary skills and knowledge to focus on the key developmental domains of young children, particularly in rural and remote areas.

He further elaborated on the core components of the ECCE curriculum, including Navchetna and Aadharshila, which are integral parts of the national frameworks for early childhood stimulation and Education. Navchetna focuses on early childhood stimulation for children aged 0-3 years, while Aadharshila targets the educational needs of children aged 3-6 years. These curricula are designed to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to early childhood development, ensuring that every child receives the foundation they need to thrive.

Dr. Lekha Bhasin, Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) Pouni, extended warm welcome to the District Programme Officer and other participants and further outlined the objectives of PBPB Training programme.

The training will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of the Navchetna and Adharshila curricula, providing Anganwadi Workers with essential tools to create engaging and developmentally appropriate learning environments for children. The event saw active participation from Anganwadi Workers and officials of Poshan Project Pouni.

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.
