RAJOURI: To ensure seamless conduct of the upcoming Finance Accounts Assistant (FAA) OMR based exam, the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) today organised a training programme for supervisory staff here at Government Degree College (GDC).

The training, attended by around 1,000 Invigilators, 20 Centre Superintendents and 14 Deputy Centre Superintendents, was conducted in five successive shifts, considering the large number of officials. 

Member JKSSB Sudhir Bali conducted the training programme. He imparted comprehensive orientation to the examination staff on the prescribed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), their respective duties and responsibilities and the critical protocols governing the conduct of the examination.

During the sessions, detailed instructions were imparted on examination-day preparedness, secure handling and movement of sensitive examination material, maintenance of confidentiality, candidate verification, prevention of unfair means and strict adherence to the instructions issued by JKSSB. Particular emphasis was laid on vigilance, accountability, discipline and coordinated functioning at every stage of the examination process.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Ravi Kumar Sihag also addressed the participants and emphasised that the credibility of a competitive examination rests on the integrity, impartiality and professionalism of those entrusted with its conduct. He called upon all functionaries to discharge their assigned responsibilities with utmost sincerity and alertness, leaving no scope for negligence or procedural lapses.

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.
