DODA: A newly developed playground was inaugurated today at Government Girls High School Chilly Pingal by District Development Council (DDC) Chairman, Dhananter Singh Kotwal as part of the Good Governance Week Campaign. A large number of locals and government functionaries were present at the inaugural ceremony. The facility is developed to promote sports, physical fitness and overall development of students, especially girls.

  Assistant Commissioner Development, Din Mohammad Afaqi, BDO, education department officials and other district and block-level officers directly interacted with the people and noted their grievances raised before the DDC chairman.

The local residents projected demands seeking up-gradation of educational infrastructure, basic amenities and meeting other development needs. The DDC Chairman gave a patient hearing and issued directions to the concerned departments for time-bound redressal.

Meanwhile, another outreach programme was organized at Changa, where officials interacted with the public, reviewed ongoing works and assessed developmental requirements.

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.
