In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

KUPWARA: A comprehensive health camp was organised today at vibrant village Amroyee in Karnah Sub-Division to provide accessible healthcare services to the residents of the remote border area.

During the camp, free medical consultations were provided to the residents, while X-ray services were also made available through a Handheld X-Ray (HH X-Ray) machine, enabling on-the-spot diagnostic support.

The camp also facilitated the generation of Ayushman Vay Vandana Cards and Golden Cards for eligible beneficiaries, thereby helping residents avail the benefits of government-sponsored healthcare schemes.

In addition, a team from the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) was deputed to the camp to conduct health screening and provide necessary healthcare services to children.

The initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to taking essential healthcare services to the doorsteps of people residing in remote and border areas, ensuring inclusive and accessible healthcare for all.

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.
