In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family
  • “A Celebration of Moments, Stories & Perspectives”

JAMMU: Under the patronage of Prof. Sanjeev Jain, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor, Central University of Jammu, the Photography Club and Film Club of the University organised a special photography exhibition today to commemorate World Photography Day. The exhibition was held at Aryabhatta Bhawan and brought together photography enthusiasts, students, research scholars, faculty members, and staff from across the University.

The Chief Guest, Prof. Yashwant Singh, Registrar, Central University of Jammu, graced the occasion with his presence and appreciated the creative efforts of the organisers and participants. Addressing the gathering, Prof. Yashwant Singh said, “Photography teaches us to see the world with patience and perspective, capturing moments that words often fail to express.”

The exhibition showcased a diverse and captivating collection of photographs depicting India’s rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, wildlife, temple architecture, iconic monuments, patriotic imagery, and everyday moments. Each frame reflected the essence of the exhibition, aptly captured in the theme: “Photography is the pause button of life’s best moments.”

The event was convened by Prof. Paramveer Singh, Convenor, who remarked, “This exhibition is a wonderful platform for our students to view the world through their lens and share the stories they discover along the way.” Ms. Pushplata, Dr. Susmita Ekka, and Sh. Fateh Lal Bheel served as Co-Convenors and played a key role in coordinating the exhibition.

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.
