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.

JAMMU: Jammu & Kashmir BJP President Sat Sharma, accompanied by General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, chaired a crucial organizational meeting at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to review preparations for the forthcoming ‘Sewa Pakhwada’.

J&K BJP Vice-Presidents Priya Sethi, Rajiv Charak, and Rashpaul Verma, General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and Gopal Mahajan, Secretaries Reema Padha and Arun Sharma, DDC Member and SC Morcha President Dharminder Kumar, OBC Morcha President Brahamjyot, BJYM President Arun Prabhat, Mahila Morcha President Neha Mahajan, and others senior leaders of the party participated in the meeting.

Addressing the meeting, Sat Sharma shared that the ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ will commence on 17th September, marking the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and will conclude on 2nd October, the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. The party will observe the fortnight through a variety of welfare initiatives.

Sat Sharma said, “Sewa Pakhwada is not just an event, it is a movement to serve society selflessly. From healthcare to environmental protection, every activity will be aimed at making a tangible difference in people’s lives. I urge every party worker to treat this as a mission and reach out to every corner of Jammu & Kashmir with the message of service and nation-building.”

Ashok Koul emphasized the importance of grassroots participation, stating, “Our strength lies in our activists. Every ward, panchayat, and district should actively take part in these activities. Through blood donation, cleanliness drives, and awareness programmes, we will showcase the BJP’s commitment towards a healthier, cleaner, and stronger nation.”

Sharing further details, Ashok Koul said that the key activities will include large-scale blood donation camps, especially spearheaded by BJYM activists; cleanliness drives under the Swachhta Abhiyaan in hospitals, parks, water bodies, and public places, plantation drives under the campaign Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam, and medical camps across the Union Territory. Public meetings, exhibitions, and outreach programmes will also be organized to raise awareness about health, environmental protection, Khadi promotion, sports, anti-drug campaigns, and the Prime Minister’s transformative initiatives, he said.

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