REASI: A comprehensive training programme for Anganwadi workers under the POSHAN Project Reasi was inaugurated today at the Government Polytechnic College, Reasi which aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of Anganwadi workers in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). The training programme will run in two batches with each batch consisting of 100 Sanginis receiving intensive training over three days. The training for the first batch commenced today, and the second batch is scheduled to start on December 16.

The curriculum, designed through the books Navchetna and Adharshila, focuses on introducing the workers to new trends and techniques to be adopted in Anganwadi centers. This hands-on orientation ensures that the participants are well-acquainted with the latest methods in ECCE, empowering them to implement innovative and child-centric learning strategies.

Speaking on the occasion, CDPO Reasi Suninderjeet Kour said that this ongoing initiative serves as a critical step in strengthening the capacity of Anganwadi workers and ensuring the effective implementation of the POSHAN Abhiyaan’s goals in the region. The programme underscores the department's commitment to fostering quality education and care at the grassroots level, equipping Anganwadi workers with the tools they need to nurture early childhood development.

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.
