  • Prashikshan Mahabhiyan is a nation-building mission: Baldev Billawaria 

JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) District Jammu organized a district-level workshop under the ‘Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Prashikshan Mahabhiyan’ at the party’s district office in Kacchi Chawni, Jammu. The workshop was chaired by District President Rajesh Gupta and addressed by BJP Jammu & Kashmir General Secretary Baldev Singh Billawaria, District Prabhari Brijeshwar Singh Rana, District General Secretary Suneet Raina, and other senior leaders.

Addressing the gathering as the key speaker, Baldev Singh Billawaria emphasized that the party has set a target to conduct training sessions up to the booth level to further strengthen the organization at the grassroots. He stated that training is a continuous process aimed at refining party workers and reinforcing their commitment to the organization. A worker who keeps learning continues to grow, but the moment one stops learning, growth also comes to a halt, he remarked.

Billawaria underscored that the training initiative, inspired by the ideology of Deendayal Upadhyaya, seeks to make party workers more aware and dedicated towards national interest, social harmony, and the spirit of service. He said that when every worker is ideologically firm and humble in conduct, the strength of the BJP will effectively reach the last person in society.

He further stated that through this Mahabhiyan, workers from booth to state level are being connected with the party’s organizational framework, government policies, and the core principles of public service. This is not merely a training programme but a grand mission to reinforce our resolve for nation-building, he asserted.

Reiterating the party’s guiding principle of “Nation First,” Billawaria said that training enhances the capacity, efficiency, and ideological clarity of every worker. He described the Mahabhiyan as a milestone in achieving organizational expansion, consolidation, and the goal of Antyodaya. He added that the training drive is not a formality, but an integral and ongoing process reflecting the BJP’s ideological commitment and dedication to cadre building.

Adv. Rajesh Gupta said that continuous training ensures discipline and effectiveness within the organization. He expressed confidence that the Mahabhiyan will further energize party workers across Jammu district. The proceedings of the workshop were conducted by District General Secretary Ravi Kant.

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.
