GANDERBAL: In continuation of the district-wide implementation of the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA), second outreach and benefit saturation camp was successfully organized today at Panchayat Wangath, Block Kangan in Ganderbal.

This initiative is part of the broader PM JANMAN (Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan) and is designed to achieve 100% saturation of government schemes and entitlements for tribal communities through village-level service delivery and awareness-generation activities.

Camp witnessed enthusiastic participation from tribal beneficiaries, and was marked by the presence of sectoral officers, block-level officials, Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) members, frontline workers, and representatives from line departments and Common Services Centres (CSCs). Their collective efforts reinforced the multi-departmental convergence model envisioned under the campaign.

A wide range of essential government services and entitlements were provided on-the-spot, including Aadhaar enrolment and update, health screenings, scheme registrations, and other citizen-centric services.  In line with the campaign’s core objective of benefit saturation, meticulous efforts were made to ensure that no eligible tribal household remains excluded from welfare schemes.

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.
