KISHTWAR: A group of unemployed youth on Friday completed Desktop Publishing (DTP) training course conducted by RSETI Kishtwar on its campus. The training programme was conducted over a specified duration, during which trainees were imparted both theoretical knowledge and practical exposure.

The course curriculum included training in different DTP software such as MS Office, CorelDRAW, Photoshop and PageMaker, along with modules on typing skills, document formatting, graphic designing, printing techniques and basic computer fundamentals. In addition, sessions on entrepreneurship development, digital literacy, communication skills and financial inclusion were also conducted to prepare the trainees for real-world challenges.

Special emphasis was laid on hands-on practice, enabling trainees to design visiting cards, brochures, pamphlets, banners and other publishing materials. The participants gained knowledge about setting up small DTP units, managing clients and understanding market demand. The trainees were provided certificates at the valedictory function organised today. The Lead District Manager (LDM) Harsh Rawal  was the chief guest.

The Director RSETI Sanjay Kumar and guest faculty associated with the training programme were also present on the occasion. The chief guest appreciated RSETI for organizing the skill development programmes and motivated the trainees to make the best use of the obtained skills for achieving self-employment and financial independence.

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.
