REASI: An awareness programme on the role of Legal Aid Clinics was organised today at Panchayat Akhli by Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) of the Tehsil Legal Services Committee (TLSC), Katra.

During the programme, the PLVs sensitised participants about the role of Legal Aid Clinics in ensuring access to justice for all, particularly for weaker and marginalised sections of society. Participants were informed that Legal Aid Clinics provide free legal advice, guidance and assistance in legal matters, and facilitate access to free legal services under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. The PLVs also noted that Legal Aid Clinics could be approached for dispute resolution and information on welfare schemes and legal rights, and encouraged participants to avail themselves of free legal aid services and spread awareness within their communities.

Another awareness programme was organised at Gram Goswan on the Right to Free Legal Aid and the National Lok Adalat for Revenue Cases and Electricity Bill Matters. Participants were informed that free legal aid is a constitutional right available to eligible persons under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. Resource persons explained the legal services provided by DLSA, including free legal advice, legal representation, mediation and assistance in accessing justice, and highlighted that Lok Adalat provides a speedy and cost-effective mechanism for resolving revenue cases and electricity bill disputes through mutual settlement, reducing the burden of prolonged litigation.

An awareness-cum-welfare programme was organised at Legal Aid Clinic Channa Neosi and LAC Angralla by PLVs of TLSC Mahore. As part of the programme, free ration for two months was distributed among eligible and needy beneficiaries, aimed at providing immediate relief to economically weaker sections while creating awareness about welfare schemes and free legal services available under the Legal Services Authorities Act.

Awareness programmes on Solid Waste Management were also organised by PLVs of TLSC Mahore at Legal Aid Clinic (LAC) Kunderdhan and LAC Arabia. The programmes sensitised local residents about proper waste management, cleanliness and environmental protection, covering waste segregation, scientific disposal of household waste, reduction in the use of plastics, recycling practices and the collective responsibility of citizens in keeping villages and public places clean. PLVs highlighted that effective solid waste management improves public health, protects natural resources and contributes to environmental conservation and sustainable development, besides underlining the role of Legal Services Institutions in promoting awareness on social and environmental issues and providing free legal aid to eligible persons. Participants were encouraged to adopt responsible waste disposal practices and spread awareness among their families and communities.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
