REASI: The Poshan Pakhwada-2025 activities were formally inaugurated here today at a collaborative event organized by the Department of Women and Child Development. The event witnessed the participation of key officials and field functionaries dedicated to improving nutritional outcomes in the district.

Suninderjeet Kour (CDPO Reasi), Dr. Lekha Bhasin (CDPO Pouni), and Shahid Mughal (CDPO Arnas and Mahore) jointly inaugurated the campaign in the presence of Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs), and Supervisors. The event marked the beginning of a fortnight-long campaign aimed at raising awareness about nutrition, health, and well-being among women, children, and adolescent girls.

As part of the launch, the participants also attended the live inaugural webcast of Poshan Pakhwada 2025, organized by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (W&CD), Government of India. The webcast emphasized the critical role of local-level interventions in addressing malnutrition and promoting healthy dietary practices.

The officials encouraged all stakeholders to actively engage with the community throughout the Pakhwada through the outreach and IEC (Information, Education, Communication) activities. The campaign will include home visits, growth monitoring drives, Poshan rallies, recipe demonstrations, and community-based events to reinforce the importance of balanced nutrition and maternal-child health.

Poshan Pakhwada 2025 reflects the government’s continued commitment to the objectives of the POSHAN Abhiyaan — ensuring holistic nourishment for every child and woman in the country.

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.
