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

POONCH: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized a Prashikshan Workshop at district Poonch as part of the ongoing Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Prashikshan Mahabhiyan–2026. J&K BJP General Secretary Gopal Mahajan and All Cell Incharge Ved Sharma, chiefly addressed the workshop. District President BJP Poonch Gurdeep Singh Khalsa, Rajesh Raina, Sunil Sharma, Ravinder Kumar Bitta, Mehtab Bukhari, Sanjay Kesar, Vikas Sharma, Jyoti Bhalla, Naresh Sharma, and other prominent leaders and workers were among the prominent present.

Gopal Mahajan conducted a detailed review of the party’s functioning at the district, mandal, and booth levels. He emphasized that BJP, being a cadre-based organization, derives its strength from disciplined and ideologically committed workers. He stressed the importance of taking the party’s ideology to the masses through dedicated activists and underlined the need for continuous capacity building of activists to meet evolving socio-political challenges.

Mahajan reiterated that structured training programmes under the Prashikshan Mahabhiyan are designed to enhance organizational efficiency, ideological clarity, and effective public outreach, ensuring that the party remains connected with the aspirations of the people.

Ved Sharma highlighted the crucial need for better coordination between mandal and booth-level teams. He urged party workers to work collectively with a spirit of service to ensure that welfare initiatives and organizational programmes reach the last person in society. He emphasized that the true success of any programme lies in its effective implementation at the booth level.

Ved Sharma, focusing on the role of various cells within the party, called upon cell functionaries to actively contribute in strengthening the party structure and to play a proactive role in addressing local issues and assisting the needy.

The programme concluded with a renewed commitment from all participants to work with dedication, discipline, and coordination to further strengthen BJP at every level, particularly at the grassroots, in line with the party’s guiding principles of “Nation First” and “Antyodaya”.

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.
