DODA: Government Dy. SP Aman Thakur Memorial Degree College Kastigarh today organized an inspiring introductory programme to celebrate 150 years of Vande Mataram with mass recitation of the National song. The event marked the beginning of a week-long celebration aimed at fostering patriotism, cultural awareness and respect for India’s glorious heritage among the students.

Recitation by Faculty Members and Students created an atmosphere charged with national pride and unity. Students were also enlightened about the historical background and literary significance of the song written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, which played a pivotal role in awakening the spirit of freedom and nationalism during India’s independence movement.

Speaking on the occasion, Principal Prof. Koshal Kumar Mangotra applauded the zeal and participation of the students and highlighted the importance of connecting youth with the nation’s cultural and historical roots.

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.
