JAMMU: The Department of Hindi & Other Indian Languages, Central University of Jammu, in collaboration with the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal, Jammu-Kashmir & Ladakh Province, organized a special event to mark the occasion of Vyas Puja. On this auspicious day, the Honorable Vice-Chancellor of the University and President of the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal, Jammu-Kashmir & Ladakh Province, Prof. Sanjeev Jain, was honored for his exemplary contributions.

In his blessings, Prof. Jain shared valuable insights from his teaching career and guided attendees on the duties and conduct of teachers and students. Emphasizing the importance of Guru-Shishya Parampara (teacher-disciple tradition), he stated, "In the present era, discussions on Indian knowledge traditions in the field of education are essential. Unless a student develops reverence for the Guru, holistic development remains unattainable."

The event witnessed the gracious presence of Prof. Bharat Bhushan, Provincial Co-Secretary of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal and Head of the Department; Dr. Vandana Sharma, Chief of Publication Activities; Dr. Shashikant Mishra, Dr. Ratnesh Kumar Yadav, and research scholars from the department.

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.

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.
