On this occasion, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Koul (Associate NCC Officer, Zonal Cultural and Counseling incharge) said that 527 soldiers were just a number for us, but their families had gone through lot of pain because of loss of their family members and motivated NCC cadets to organize more such nation-building events and stressed about the hidden enemies and its impact on millions of lives.  Cadet under Dr. Kumar was also briefed about Kargil with a famous quote by late Captain Vikram Batra - "Either I will return after hoisting the tricolor, or I will be wrapped in it, but I will return for sure".

All the participants sung NCC song, National anthem and offered floral tributes to the brave soldiers and maintained two minutes of silence for those who sacrificed their lives for our country. The event marked active participation and efforts of 2 J&K (I) Coy NCC Bhaderwah cadets and aspirants under the leadership Pardeep Singh Billawria (Principal of the Institution).

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.
