  • Committed activists central to BJP’s vision of inclusive development: Ashok Koul 

SRINAGAR: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a training camp under the ongoing Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Prashikshan Maha Abhiyan in Habakadal Constituency of Srinagar, at Munawarabad.

J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul addressed the Prashikshan camp as the chief speaker. J&K BJP Spokesperson Manzoor Bhat, District President Srinagar Adv. Sheikh Salman, Constituency President Muneer Ahmed, District Vice-President Srinagar Dr. Ashok Koul, and District President Mahila Morcha Srinagar Sumira Mir were also present on the occasion.

Ashok Koul, while addressing the camp, emphasized that such training programmes are vital for the ideological strengthening of party cadre and for equipping them with the skills necessary to effectively serve society. He stated that BJP workers are not merely political activists but dedicated patriots committed to the welfare of every section of society. He stressed that a strong organization, rooted in ideology and discipline, is essential to achieve the larger goal of nation-building.

Koul elaborated the philosophy of Deendayal Upadhyaya, ‘Antyodaya’ which means upliftment of the last person in the queue. He said that this principle forms the core of BJP’s governance and organizational approach, ensuring that the benefits of development reach the most marginalized and needy individuals. He added that Antyodaya promotes inclusive growth, social harmony, and economic justice, which are crucial for building a strong and self-reliant India.

Ashok Koul further stated that BJP envisions an India free from poverty, corruption, and social evils by 2047, coinciding with the centenary of independence. He asserted that this vision can only be realized through the dedicated efforts of well-trained and committed party activists who work tirelessly at the grassroots level.

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