AWANTIPORA: The Centre for AYUSH Sciences, Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), organised a free medical screening camp on campus on Tuesday, bringing preventive healthcare and Unani medical services closer to the university fraternity and surrounding community.

The camp witnessed the participation of 176 individuals, including 110 males and 66 females, comprising students, faculty, staff and members of the local community. Participants were screened for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and provided medical consultation, health guidanceand counselling on healthy lifestyle practices.

As part of the camp, Mizaj (temperament) assessment, an important component of Unani healthcare, was conducted to provide a more individualized understanding of participants’ health. The camp also provided 100 free laboratory investigations, including Liver Function Tests (LFT), Kidney Function Tests (KFT), lipid profile and urine examination. In addition, 15 urine examinations and 39 random blood sugar tests were conducted, along with free medical consultation and medicines.

The initiative aimed not only to facilitate the early identification of potential health risks but also to create awareness about preventive healthcare, healthy living, and the role of Unani medicine in promoting overall well-being.Free services offered included health check-ups, medical consultation, laboratory investigations, Mizaj assessment, medicines, and health and lifestyle counselling.

Pertinently, IUST has established an AYUSH Dispensary on the university campus, where daily OPD services are provided along with free medicines to patients. The facility has gradually emerged as a popular healthcare resource for both the local community and the university fraternity.

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.
