JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir BJP President, Sat Sharma CA, along with party General Secretary (organisation) Ashok Koul, former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta,  Editor Rajnish Jain, editorial team members Pawan Sharma and S.

 Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma CA, highlighted the importance of an internal publication in a dynamic political party like the BJP.

It acts as a bridge between the leadership and the grassroots activists, ensuring that every karyakarta remains informed, inspired, and aligned with the party’s programmes and policies.

Sat Sharma CA said that the magazine carries articles, interviews with senior leaders,  and reports on key events. It also serves to counter misinformation and present the party’s perspectives on crucial national and regional issues. Through this initiative, BJP  creates a well-informed and motivated cadre that can effectively communicate the party’s message at the grassroots level.

Ashok Koul said that the magazine empowers party workers with knowledge and clarity. It helps them stay connected with the party’s evolving strategies and contribute more effectively to our collective goals. It also underscores BJP’s commitment to internal democracy and effective communication, ensuring that every member, from the national leadership to the booth-level worker, remains an integral part of the party’s journey.

Rajnish Jain said that “Kamal Paigam” is published after every two months and is circulated to the party cadre across the UT. It serves to provide accurate and authentic information to party activists on important issues.  Party leaders Tilak Raj Gupta, Balbir Ram Rattan, Prof. Kulbhushan Mohtra, Praduman Singh, Gurdeep Singh Khalsa, Bharat Bhushan, Ishant Mahajan, Sanjay Bakshi, Ravi Kumar, were prominent among those present on the occasion.

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.
