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

RAMBAN: Continuing its commitment to public welfare under the ongoing Sewa Parv, the District Administration Ramban, under the aegis of Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Alyas Khan, today organized a series of Specialized Health Camps across the district under the ‘Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan’.

A Specialized Health Camp was held at NTPHC Nowgam, while two additional camps were organized at AAM SC Kudgi and AAM SC Chamalwas to deliver essential healthcare services at the grassroots level. These camps primarily focused on women and children's health, ensuring that preventive healthcare reaches the most vulnerable sections of the society.

During the camps, screening was conducted for Non-Communicable Diseases such as Hypertension, Diabetes, and Oral, Breast and Cervical Cancer. Antenatal check-ups (ANCs) for pregnant women and screening for anaemia were also undertaken. In addition, vaccination of children and screening for Tuberculosis (T.B.) were carried out, alongside enrolment of beneficiaries under the Nikshay Mitra initiative.

Extensive counselling sessions on menstrual hygiene, nutrition and various other health-related programmes were also organized to raise awareness at the grassroots level. To extend benefits of health and social security schemes to all eligible beneficiaries, generation of AB-PMJAY and Vay Vandana Cards was facilitated during the camps.

The health camps form part of the District Administration’s broader effort to make healthcare accessible and to spread awareness on critical health issues, especially among women and children. Meanwhile, other line departments also conducted parallel activities to provide public services at the citizens’ doorsteps in line with the objectives of Sewa Parv.

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