JAMMU: The Archives Repository Jammu has initiated a Comprehensive Preservation Project to safeguard the valuable historical Records and documents housed in the Repository. The Archives Repository Jammu is home to a vast collection of historical records, including manuscripts, documents and photographs that date back to the 17th century. These records provide valuable insights into the history of Jammu and Kashmir and are an important part of the region’s cultural heritage.

The Preservation project is being undertaken by expert staff of the Repository, who are using State of the Art techniques and equipment to preserve the records. The project is expected to be completed within the next month and will ensure the long term preservation of the valuable records. The step has been initiated on the directions of Director Archives, Archaeology and Museums, J&K, Kuldeep Krishan Sidha who said, “We are committed to preserving the rich cultural heritage of J&K, and after the shifting of records from Mubarak Mandi to Kala Kendra, this preservation project is an important step in that direction.”

He added, “The preservation work, which is currently underway, aims to protect the fragile and sensitive records from damage, deterioration and loss. The project involves careful cleaning, conservation, change of clothes of records to ensure their longevity and accessibility.”

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.
