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

JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a pivotal meeting at its headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, under the banner of its nation-wide campaign ‘Sankalp Se Siddhi Tak’, aimed at commemorating 11 years of transformative governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting served as a strategic platform to chalk out the roadmap for the successful execution of the upcoming programmes in Jammu & Kashmir.

The meeting was chaired by BJP General Secretary and Programme Incharge, Adv. Vibodh Gupta (former MLC), who was joined by former Minister and J&K BJP headquarter Incharge Priya Sethi. Programme Co-Incharges Pawan Sharma and Rekha Mahajan were also present, playing a key role in planning and discussions. Several senior party leaders attended the meeting including Munish Sharma, Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Rajinder Singh Chib, Sunil Prajapati, Prof. Kulbhushan Mohtra, Puneet Mahajan, Vinay Gupta, and Dr. Makson Tikoo.

Addressing the meeting, Adv. Vibodh Gupta outlined the broader vision and objectives of the ‘Sankalp Se Siddhi Tak’ initiative. He provided a detailed framework for conducting a series of activities aimed at reaching the grassroots and connecting with citizens across every district, mandal, and booth of Jammu & Kashmir. He emphasized the importance of thorough planning and coordination and assigned specific responsibilities to the attending leaders to ensure the smooth execution of the programmes.

Gupta also directed the party leadership to begin outreach activities immediately, including visits to various organizational districts to hold preparatory meetings with local units. He stressed that the success of the campaign would rely heavily on timely groundwork, structured communication, and synchronized efforts.

Speaking on the occasion, Priya Sethi called upon the party cadre to approach the campaign with dedication and discipline. She stressed the importance of proper division of responsibilities among the members to ensure that the message of the Modi government's achievements over the past 11 years reaches every household. She underlined that the ultimate goal of the campaign is to create awareness at the grassroots level about the development and welfare initiatives undertaken by the central government.

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.
