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

KUPWARA: J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, addressed party workers during the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Training Camp held in Langate constituency of Handwara in District Kupwara.

Addressing the party leaders, Ashok Koul emphasized that the Prashikshan Abhiyan is a vital initiative of the Bharatiya Janata Party aimed at ideologically strengthening its cadre and equipping workers with organizational skills, communication abilities, and clarity of vision. He said that the training programs are rooted in the philosophy of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay, whose concept of Antyodaya (upliftment of the last person in society) continues to guide the party’s policies and governance approach.

Koul stressed that BJP is not merely a political party but a mission driven by nation-first ideology, discipline, and service spirit. He asked the party activists to actively engage with the public at the grassroots level, understand their concerns, and ensure effective implementation of government schemes. He stressed that a well-trained activist is the backbone of the organization. Through such structured training, we are preparing dedicated workers who can carry forward the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and strengthen the party at every booth, he added.

Ahok Koul further laid stress on the party’s commitment towards firming ground level organizational strength and ideological clarity in the party cadre. Other speakers also highlighted the importance of organizational unity, public relations, and consistent outreach, while encouraging workers to remain committed to the party’s principles and expansion in the region.

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.
