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

PULWAMA: District Administration Pulwama, in collaboration with District Police Pulwama, today organised a comprehensive hands-on training session on the implementation of the PM-RAHAT (Road Accident Victims’ Hospitalization and Assured Treatment) Scheme at the Conference Hall, DPL Pulwama, aimed at strengthening road accident response mechanisms in the district.

The training programme focused on effective utilization of the iRAD (Integrated Road Accident Database) portal and its eDAR (Electronic Detailed Accident Report) component for smooth and efficient execution of the scheme.

The session was attended by Investigating Officers (IOs), who were sensitized about their pivotal role in ensuring timely assistance and facilitation under the scheme through proper use of the digital platform.

Highlighting the objectives of the scheme, the resource persons informed that PM-RAHAT envisions a coordinated and responsive system for addressing road accident cases through timely intervention and streamlined processes.

During the training, emphasis was laid on the role of eDAR as a life-saving digital tool. Officers were guided on real-time uploading of accident-related data and the importance of maintaining accuracy and timeliness to enable seamless processing and service delivery.

Participants were also briefed on various operational aspects, including system linkages, procedural workflows and the significance of timely reporting to ensure transparency and accountability. The importance of inter-departmental coordination was highlighted as key to the successful implementation of the initiative.

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.
