REASI: Government Degree College Katra celebrated NSS Day today with great enthusiasm and active participation of NSS volunteers, students, faculty members and staff.

The programme was organised with the objective of promoting the spirit of social service, community participation and environmental responsibility among the students. The programme was organised under the able guidance of the principal of the college Dr. Rajni Bhagat.

The celebration began with an awareness programme highlighting the role of the National Service Scheme (NSS) in developing a sense of responsibility, discipline and service towards society.

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.
