REASI: The Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) Reasi Centre today organised a symposium here at Government Higher Secondary School (Boys)  on the topics “Nutrition and Fitness” and “Use Artificial Intelligence Responsibly and Creatively” under the ongoing Youth Empowerment Programme in the district.

The symposium aimed to sensitise students about the importance of balanced nutrition, physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle, while promoting the ethical, responsible and creative use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students were encouraged to adopt healthy eating habits, engage in regular physical activities and maintain their physical and mental well-being.

The programme witnessed active participation from students and faculty members. Students enthusiastically participated in the symposium and shared their views on healthy living and the responsible use of AI in daily life, reflecting their awareness of the importance of personal well-being and the constructive application of emerging technologies.

Later, an official from DIPR briefed the students about various youth-centric government schemes and employment opportunities available in Jammu and Kashmir. The students were encouraged to explore skill development programmes, entrepreneurship initiatives and other avenues for career development and self-employment.

Vice Principal of the School Hukam Chand, while addressing the gathering, emphasised the importance of healthy habits, physical fitness and the responsible use of AI by students for academic and other purposes. He appreciated the DIPR for organising the symposium and expressed hope that similar awareness programmes would be organised in the future.

The programme was conducted under the supervision of District Information Officer Mukesh Kumar Sharma. The initiative reaffirmed DIPR Reasi’s commitment to promoting youth engagement, awareness and personality development through educational and informative activities. Prizes were distributed among the students for their outstanding performances in the symposium.

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.
