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

NEW DELHI : At a time when the people of Nepal are going through a deeply difficult phase, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has come forward to stand firmly with its Nepali students and their families, extending both emotional and financial support to those affected by the ongoing situation.

Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, Col. Dr. Rashmi Mittal, Pro Chancellor of LPU, and Dr. Aman Mittal, Vice President of LPU, attended the gathering. The leadership interacted directly with Nepali students, listened to their concerns, and assured them of the University's continued support during this difficult time.

Recognising the hardships being faced by affected families, LPU NSS took a collective step towards supporting people affected in Nepal. The University will organise a seven-day collection camp, inviting voluntary monetary contributions from members of the LPU community and others who wish to extend a helping hand.

The initiative will provide an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and members of the University community to come together and contribute towards relief and assistance for affected people and families in Nepal. The funds collected through the drive will subsequently be extended towards those in need.

For LPU, the initiative goes beyond financial assistance. With a large and diverse student community from across countries, the University believes that its responsibility extends to ensuring that students feel safe, heard, supported, and cared for, especially when their families and communities are facing hardship.

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.
