  • Sat Sharma calls ‘Prashikshan Mahabhiyan’ the backbone of nation-centric politics

JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, organized an intensive training workshop for Prashikshaks (trainers) at its headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, under the nationwide Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Prashikshan Mahabhiyan.

The workshop covered the Jammu Parliamentary Constituency along with Nowshera and Poonch-Rajouri, and was attended by District Prabharis, District Presidents, District Seh-Prabharis, designated Prashikshaks, and four-member district teams entrusted with implementing the Abhiyan at the local level.

The session was addressed by J&K BJP President and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) Sat Sharma, Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, and BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, along with senior leaders including Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and Gopal Mahajan.

Sat Sharma, in his address, described training as the backbone of a vibrant and committed political organization. He asserted that the BJP’s strength lies not merely in electoral victories but in its ideological foundation and dedicated cadre. The BJP does not exist solely to form governments, it exists to serve society and the nation with unwavering commitment, he stated.

Emphasizing the core philosophy of “Vyakti Nirman se Sangathan Nirman, aur Sangathan Nirman se Rashtra Nirman,” Sharma said that character-building of individual activist leads to a strong organization, which ultimately contributes to nation-building. He asked trainers to instill ideological conviction, discipline, and a service-oriented mindset among activists so that they become ambassadors of good governance and nationalism at the grassroots level.

Sunil Sharma highlighted that a BJP activist must function as an institution in himself. He noted that discipline, ideological clarity, and consistent public engagement distinguish BJP workers from others. Regular training, he said, enhances intellectual depth, communication skills, and organizational efficiency, enabling activists to effectively counter misinformation and present the party’s vision confidently before the masses. He emphasized that the credibility of the party rests on the conduct and dedication of its workers.

Ashok Koul elaborated extensively on organizational principles, Panch Parivartan, and the ‘Nation First’ ideology. He stressed that ideological dissemination must reach the last worker in the booth structure. When ideology reaches the grassroots, public trust strengthens naturally, he remarked. He called upon trainers to ensure systematic follow-up, measurable outcomes, and continuous engagement, reaffirming that every activist must embody the spirit of service and social welfare in action, not merely in words. The proceedings of the workshop were conducted by General Secretary Gopal Mahajan.

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.
