SAMBA: The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Samba under the patronage of the Executive Chairman J&K Legal Services Authority, Member Secretary, J&K Legal Services Authority and the Chairman DLSA organized a programme to commemorate World Human Rights Day at Dogra Law College Bari Brahmana.

The programme was hosted with the aim of enhancing awareness among law students about human rights and encouraging their participation in promoting justice, equality and legal empowerment.

Key objectives included sensitizing students about the constitutional and legal framework protecting human rights in India, highlighting the role of legal services institutions in providing free legal aid and safeguarding the rights of vulnerable and marginalized communities, promoting youth engagement in advancing human rights and access to justice.

The event was attended by Assma Choudhary, Secretary DLSA Samba; Deputy LADC, Suman Bhagat (Resource Person); Assistant LADC, Versha Anthal (Resource Person); members of the Governing Committee of Dogra Law College including R.S. Katal, Dr. Samar Dev Singh Charak and Khushali Bashisht along with faculty members, law students and PLVs of Samba.

The Secretary DLSA delivered a keynote address focusing on constitutional guarantees enshrined in III and Part IV, emphasizing dignity, liberty, equality and justice. She also highlighted the crucial role of Legal Services Authorities in spreading legal awareness, providing free legal aid, organizing Lok Adalats and ensuring access to justice for weaker sections of society.

An interactive session followed, during which students actively participated and raised thoughtful questions on human rights and legal aid mechanisms.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks to the faculty and administration of Dogra Law College for their cooperation. The Secretary appreciated the enthusiastic participation of the students and reaffirmed DLSA Samba’s commitment to organising similar awareness initiatives.

A key highlight was the announcement of an internship programme with DLSA Samba, offering students hands-on exposure to legal aid processes, participation in outreach programmes and interaction with panel lawyers and beneficiaries. The offer received an encouraging response from the students.

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.
