Dr Darakhshan Andrabi presented Momento’s and Certificates of Honour to the toppers. Later in her address she said that this extraordinary performance in the Board exams by the Waqf schools is the result of broader reforms of the Board in educational sector during the past three years.

“We have worked very hard to create a positive environment in our educational institutions by reforms and infrastructural development and accountability mechanisms. Our teachers, management and students have worked hard and we are proud of them”, said Andrabi. She said that Waqf Board was the first organisation to implement National Education Policy in educational institutions. "The reforms resulted in increase of admissions in all schools during the past three years. From financial bankruptcy to stability, our schools became centres of excellence and we are committed to upgrade these institutions further in future", said Dr Darakhshan.

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.
