In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU: The BJP on Friday launched ‘Kamal Kandeel’ campaign with the slogan ‘From Darknes Towards Light’ from the heritage complex of Mubarak Mandi, Jammu. This campaign, the first of its kind was launched by union minister and  Incharge of J&K elections, G Krishna Reddy in presence of Working President BJP Sat Sharma.

The programme was organized today evening by the youth wing of the BJP led by President, Arun Prabhat. The BJP chose Mubarak Mandi heritage complex to launch this campaign to give a message that it wants to make J&K on the lines Maharaja Hari Singh dreamt of.

‘From Darkness to Light’ slogan of ‘Kamal Kandeel’ campaign means that the J&K under the leadership of PM Modi has started marching ahead on the path of peace and development, said the party spokesman.

The youth have joined the mainstream and there is total peace in J&K. The large voter turnout in the 2 phases of Assembly election has already gave a message that we started moving ‘from darkness towards light’, he said.

Amandeep Singh, Abhishek Salathia, Rakesh Gupta, Lovedeval Sharma, Gurdeep Chib, Robin Sharma, Shubham Manhas, Harish Sharma, Sonu Pandit, Rohit Mehra, Sahil Mehra and others were also present on the occasion.

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.
