The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

DODA: J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul chaired an organizational meeting of the Doda district unit led by its President Babu Ram Sharma at the Party Office, Doda. District Prabhari Pawan Sharma, and MLA Shakti Raj Parihar, also addressed the meeting, which was attended by senior leaders of the district.

Addressing the meeting, Ashok Koul laid strong emphasis on strengthening the organization through continuous ground activity and direct public engagement. He said that the BJP’s real power is its disciplined cadre and their unwavering dedication towards addressing public concerns.

Ashok Koul stressed that the coming months must witness enhanced Pravas by senior leaders, ensuring that every mandal, booth and village is regularly visited. He said that the party leaders must increase their visibility, accessibility and accountability. He emphasized the personal contact with workers and the public and termed it as the backbone of organization. He also directed district units to increase field-level programmes so that every initiative reaches the last worker and every household.

Koul reviewed the ongoing organizational activities, particularly those aimed at booth reinforcement and direct interaction with common citizens. Calling for renewed focus on government welfare schemes and national initiatives, he asked party leaders to intensify outreach related to AatmaNirbhar Bharat, encouraging people to adopt local products and support village-level entrepreneurship.

Koul also assessed the progress of programmes being held as part of the 150 Years of Vande Mataram and the commemoration of 150 Years of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, asking the cadre to observe these events with full commitment at the booth level. Pawan Sharma said that the organization must work with greater speed and sharper coordination to strengthen BJP’s presence in every panchayat. He emphasized the need for disciplined reporting, regular worker interactions, and enhanced political communication.

Shakti Raj Parihar highlighted the role of elected representatives in bridging governance with organizational priorities. He said that BJP leaders must remain proactive in resolving people’s issues and ensuring delivery of welfare schemes on the ground. Babu Ram Sharma assured full commitment to implementing all party programmes, strengthening booth structures, and expanding outreach in every corner of Doda.

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.
