The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

JAMMU: J&K BJP organized an exhibition on the life and works of Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji at BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. J&K BJP President Sat Sharma accompanied by General Secretary (Org.) Ashok Koul, MP Lok Sabha Jugal Kishore Sharma, former Dy CM Dr. Nirmal Singh, former Dy CM Kavinder Gupta, Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, MLA Vikram Randhawa, former Minister Priya Sethi, Tilak Raj Gupta, Balbir Ram Rattan, Dr Pardeep Mahotra, Prof Kulbhushan Mohtra, and other senior leaders of the party inaugurated the Exhibition.

Sat Sharma, while inaugurating the exhibition, said that while Atal ji’s life stands as an exemplary work for the whole generation, it marks our foremost duty to tell the future generations and fellow countrymen about his life and life works. He said that Atal ji led a life of simplicity with high thinking and revolutionized the Indian political system, giving structure to the most formidable opposition to the ruling party in the nation.

He gave voice to the voiceless and ensured reach to the needy and the underprivileged by ensuring the ‘Antodaya’ reached the last person living in the most neglected sections of society. His life and thoughts need to reach everyone in society, stated Sat Sharma, and prompted the party leaders to take the life history and the lessons of his life to the society through similar Exhibitions across the region.

The Exhibition was organized by the Department of Publication led by its Incharge Rajnish Jain and Co-Incharges S. Varinderjeet Singh and Pawan Sharma. The organizers shared that similar Exhibitions would be displayed at the district-level programmes around the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir for the whole year to mark this as the birth centenary year of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji.

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.
