PULWAMA: Under the ongoing TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan – 100-Day Campaign, a series of health awareness and screening Shivirs were successfully organised across various locations of District Pulwama by the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) Pulwama to strengthen tuberculosis screening and awareness.

The Shivirs were conducted at Babhara, Drabgam, Dogripora, Panzgam, Niloora, Kuchmullah, Naner, Main Pulwama, Tral and Pampore among others with the objective of early detection, awareness, and prevention of Tuberculosis (TB) and other health conditions.

During these Shivirs, a significant number of people participated and were screened for TB-related symptoms. On-the-spot counselling, sputum sample collection, and referrals for further diagnostic tests, including chest X-rays, were facilitated. The medical teams also sensitised the public about the importance of early diagnosis, adherence to treatment, and the availability of treatment services under the NTEP. The health department has urged the general public to actively participate in such health initiatives and avail the services being provided.

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.
