As many as 14 students from different classes participated enthusiastically in the symposium and shared their views on the importance of cleanliness and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The students highlighted the significance of cleanliness in daily life and emphasised the important role that students can play in making the campaign a people's movement.

The programme was presided over by Headmaster of the School Chandermohan Jaggi. SNO Swachhata Pakhwada Darshan Kumar elaborated on the objectives of the campaign and highlighted the various initiatives being undertaken by PM SHRI schools to promote cleanliness, hygiene, environmental responsibility and community participation.

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.
