RAMBAN: SBI RSETI Ramban today inaugurated a Soft Toys Making Training Program at Dharmound, continuing its push toward practical skill development and self-employment generation. The inauguration was attended by the  Lead District Manager (LDM)   Davinder Singh as  the Chief Guest along with  Cluster Coordinator NRLM (National Rural Livelihoods Mission) Ajay Kumar, reflecting institutional backing—but the real test will be what participants actually build from this training, not just attendance on day one.

The program is being conducted under the overall supervision of Director RSETI S Harvinder Singh, ensuring structured delivery and alignment with entrepreneurship goals rather than just skill exposure. During the session, officials stressed the importance of converting training into income. That’s the part most programs fail at—skills without market linkage are just hobbies. Participants were encouraged to treat this as a business opportunity, not a routine course.

The training aims to equip candidates with hands-on skills in soft Toys making, with a clear objective: enable them to start micro-enterprises or generate sustainable income. The outcome will depend entirely on execution, consistency and whether follow-up support actually happens. The inauguration saw active participation from candidates, but the real success of the program would be measured in the number of trainees who become earning entrepreneurs in the coming months.

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.
