SRINAGAR: The National Youth Day or Rashtriya Yuva Divas is celebrated annually on 12th January in commemoration of philosopher and thinker Swami Vivekananda. His inspiring message to the youth is to nurture their dreams, unleash their energies, and shape a future worthy of his envisioned ideals. To commemorate this day, the NSS unit of GDC Khansahib, under the patronage of college Principal Dr. Nargis Bano, organised a webinar on the  theme ā€œYouth for a Sustainable Future: Shaping the Nation with Resilience and Responsibility.ā€

On the occasion, the NSS Programme Officer Dr. Sajad Padder, presented a detailed overview about the history, significance and spirit of observing the National Youth Day. He highlighted the challenges and opportunities faced by youth in today’s digital age and emphasized on enhancing their cognitive and vocational skills.

The students were also sensitized about the fundamental duties as enshrined in Article 51A of Indian constitution. The youth were urged to refrain from drug addiction and contribute in the promotion of a healthy and resilient society. The program ended with a question-answer session.

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.
