KATHUA: As part of the ongoing Sewa Parv celebrations, the NCC and NSS Units of Government Degree College Kathua organized a two-day donation activity, reflecting the spirit of service and commitment towards the vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047. The activity, conducted on the college premises on September 17, witnessed enthusiastic participation from students and staff. The funds collected during the drive were dedicated to extend support to an Orphanage and Old Age Home in Kathua on September 18, thereby promoting compassion, care, and social responsibility among youth.

Meanwhile, the NSS Unit of Government Degree College Mahanpur organized a Voluntary Donation-cum-Distribution Drive. The drive was aimed at implementing the Gandhian principle of Sarvodaya—upliftment of the needy and underprivileged sections of society.

During the drive, NSS volunteers collected clothes, bed sheets, hygiene kits, books, food items and medicines contributed by the staff and students of the college. The relief material was distributed among flood victims, old age persons, and underprivileged students of the college, spreading a message of compassion and social responsibility.

Principal Prof. (Dr.) Sangeeta Sudan along with NSS volunteers, personally handed over the relief material to the beneficiaries and appreciated the enthusiastic participation of students and staff.

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.
