SRINAGAR: Department of Social Welfare, SANKALP- Hub for Empowerment of Women- Mission Shakti Srinagar organised a session on dignity and personal wellbeing on Saturday at Govt. College for Women M.A Road Srinagar under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign.

The programme aimed to make students familiar with self worth and the right to be treated with respect and overall sense of health and happiness. Dignity and personal wellbeing are interconnected in the way dignity serves as an essential foundation for promoting health and overall well being, while treating someone with dignity and respect increases their sense of self worth and contributes positively to their well being.

The programme witnessed the presence of Dr Nighat Majeed, Dy CMO Srinagar as the resource person. She shared her views and delivered a session on dignity and personal well being with the students, staff of Govt. College for Women M.A Road Srinagar and the staff of SANKALP-Hub for Empowerment of Women.

While interacting with the audience, Dr Nighat emphasized the need for upholding dignity that involves recognizing the inherent value of each person and creating an environment where they feel respected, safe, and empowered to exercise choice and control over their lives. This foundation of dignity directly fosters personal well-being by promoting trust, self-esteem, and a positive sense of self within relationships and the wider community.

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.
