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

DODA: As part of the ongoing Anti-Dengue Month (ADM) campaign under the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), the District Malaria Team from CMO Office Doda conducted an extensive field visit in Doda Town and its adjoining areas.

During the visit, the team carried out intensive Information, Education and Communication/Behaviour Change Communication (IEC/BCC) activities to raise awareness among the public regarding the prevention and control of Dengue and Malaria. Residents were sensitized about the importance of maintaining environmental sanitation, eliminating stagnant water and other mosquito breeding sites and adopting personal protective measures to safeguard themselves from vector-borne diseases.

As part of surveillance and monitoring activities, the team also inspected the MF-8 Register maintained at the Pathology Section of Associated Hospital, Government Medical College Doda to ensure proper recording and reporting in accordance with programme guidelines.

The activity was conducted under the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer, Doda Dr Vinod Sharma and under the supervision of the District Malaria Officer, Doda, in line with the guidelines of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) to strengthen vector-borne disease prevention and control measures across the district.

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.
