BARAMULLA: The three-day capacity-building programme for Charge and additional charge officers being conducted in connection with the forthcoming Census of India 2027, today entered its 2nd day at the Meeting Hall of the DC Office Baramulla. The training sessions were conducted by Master Trainers and District Coordinators from the Directorate of Census Operations, Jammu and Kashmir. 

The programme was attended by the senior district officers, tehsildars from across all 18 tehsils, and other officials associated with census operations. Day–2 of the programme focused on strengthening the operational readiness of the Charge Officers for Phase–I of the Census, i.e., the House Listing and Housing Census (HLO), which lays the groundwork for the entire enumeration exercise.

Expert trainers and National Level Master Trainers conducted in-depth sessions on field-level implementation strategies, effective supervision techniques, and the use of digital tools for real-time data collection.  Emphasis was laid on ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely reporting of data through robust monitoring mechanisms.

Participants were also engaged in practical demonstrations and interactive discussions aimed at addressing field challenges and enhancing their understanding of prescribed schedules, formats, and guidelines.

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.
