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

BHADERWAH: In preparation for the Kailash Kund Yatra, a team of officers and officials from various departments visited the Kailash Kund to assess the necessary arrangements and availability of essential facilities for the smooth and safe conduct of the yatra.

The team headed by Naib Tehsildar Vikrant Sharma comprised of officials and field staff from the Revenue, Forest, Rural Development, Police, Health, PHE, PDD and other Departments. The team inspected the site and reviewed the availability of required infrastructure, basic amenities, safety measures and other essential arrangements for pilgrims.

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.
