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
  • ADC stresses Fair and Transparent conduct

BANDIPORA: District Administration Bandipora organised an orientation programme for officers and officials deployed for the conduct of the upcoming OMR-based examination for the post of Finance Accounts Assistant (FAA) today at the Conference Hall, Mini Secretariat, Bandipora.

The programme was chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Bandipora, Zaffar Husson Shawl, and aimed at sensitising Centre Superintendents, invigilators, magistrates and other concerned officials about their duties, responsibilities and examination-related protocols ahead of the examination scheduled to be conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) on November 15, 2026.

Coordinators from JKSSB sensitised the participants about the prescribed examination procedures, guidelines, protocols and responsibilities of the concerned functionaries. During the orientation, detailed deliberations were held on examination management, coordination among concerned departments and the arrangements required for ensuring the smooth, fair and transparent conduct of the examination.

The ADC interacted with the participating officers and officials, listened to their feedback and suggestions and assured them of all necessary support from the District Administration and JKSSB. He stressed that all concerned must discharge their assigned responsibilities with utmost diligence and ensure that all requisite facilities are made available to candidates.

On the occasion, the ADC further emphasised close coordination among all stakeholders, adherence to prescribed examination guidelines and timely completion of all preparatory arrangements to ensure the hassle-free conduct of the examination.

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.
