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

JAMMU: Continuing her weekly public outreach programme dedicated exclusively to addressing the concerns and grievances of women, BJP State General Secretary and Headquarters Incharge Sanjita Dogra on Tuesday held a women's grievance hearing session at Pandit Prem Nath Dogra Bhawan in Kachi Chawni, Jammu. A large number of women from different areas of Jammu visited the party office and shared various issues related to their personal and social lives.

The women raised concerns regarding pensions, ration cards, healthcare facilities, drinking water supply, electricity, education-related issues, as well as several family and social matters that required the intervention of the concerned departments. Sanjita Dogra listened to each woman’s grievances with seriousness and patience, carefully recorded their complaints, and assured them of all possible assistance. She took up genuine cases with the concerned departments and ensured appropriate follow-up for their early resolution.

Expressing satisfaction over the increasing participation of women in the weekly grievance hearing programme, Sanjita Dogra said that it is a privilege for her to serve as a bridge between women and the officials responsible for resolving their issues. She added that helping reduce the hardships faced by women and providing them with a platform where their voices can be heard gives her immense satisfaction.

While interacting with the women, Dogra remarked, “A woman understands another woman’s pain better.” She said that women often feel more comfortable sharing their problems, challenges, and personal concerns with another woman. This sense of trust and emotional connection is the primary reason why an increasing number of women visit the BJP headquarters every Tuesday to seek guidance, support, and assistance.

Sanjita Dogra further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party has always remained committed to women’s empowerment and welfare. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several historic and impactful schemes have been launched to strengthen the social, economic, educational, and health status of women across the country.

Reiterating her commitment to public service, Dogra said that the weekly women’s grievance hearing programme will continue to provide a dedicated platform where women can raise their concerns without hesitation and efforts can be made towards their timely resolution. She assured that every possible effort would be undertaken to ensure the effective and prompt redressal of genuine grievances raised by women.

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.
