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

JAMMU: The youth should focus on adopting the vision of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to be job providers rather than job seekers. Instead of sitting idle at home and waiting for jobs, the educated, skilled youth should take initiative to be an entrepreneur and become self-reliant. Sat Sharma (CA), president, Jammu and Kashmir BJP, said this while inaugurating a gym-7 Round Fitness N Spa, in Anuradhapuram area of Barnai falling under Jammu North district.

He was accompanied by BJP Jammu North district president Omi Khajuria, gym owner & trainer Sourav Sharma, Akhnoor district vice president Surinder Singh, senior leaders Puran Sharma and Vaishno Devi, BJYM Jourian Mandal president Neeraj Sharma, BJP activist Govind Ram, yuva activist Vijay Thappa and others.

Sat Sharma said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisions transforming India into a nation of job providers rather than job seekers. This goal emphasizes empowering individuals with skills, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit to contribute to the economy by creating jobs rather than relying on traditional employment. Sat Sharma said that the PM's initiatives like Start-Up India and Stand-Up India provide financial assistance, mentorship, and policy support to budding entrepreneurs. Simplifying regulations and encouraging ease of doing business have also boosted confidence among enterprises.

"Sourav Sharma has the distinction of winning 2021 Mr. Jammu title and his achievement has become an inspiration for others to join health clubs/ gyms", Sat said, adding that the sports attract the youth and make them health conscious, thus taking them away from the menace of drugs. Sat Sharma, on this occasion, also appreciated Sourav Sharma's decision to set up gym, adding that the unit will not only benefit this young entrepreneur but provide employment to five more as trainers, thus helping them to earn livelihood.

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.
