BANDIPORA: Under the banner of Sewa Parv 2025, Hassan Khoyihami Memorial Government Degree College (HKM GDC) Bandipora today inaugurated a series of activities that will culminate on Gandhi Jayanti. Dr. Mubashir Hamid, Officiating Principal, HKM GDC Bandipora, highlighted the significance of Sewa Parv and underscored the importance of carrying out activities that embody the values of service, cleanliness, and sustainability. He stressed the pivotal role of students and faculty in spreading these values within the community.

Nodal Officer Sewa Parv elaborated on the objectives of the fortnight-long programme and provided a detailed outline of the scheduled events. After the inaugural session, the first set of activities commenced under the joint leadership of the College NSS, NCC, Eco Club, and the Cleanliness and Beautification Committee. Students and faculty members participated in the Single-Use Plastic-Free Pledge, committing themselves to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of single-use plastics both on campus and in their daily lives.

The pledge was followed by a Campus Cleanliness Drive, during which students actively cleaned various areas of the campus and systematically disposed-off waste materials at designated locations. The inaugural activities of Sewa Parv 2025 set a positive tone for the series of events to follow, reinforcing the spirit of collective service and sustainable practices within the college community.

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.
