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

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor (www.jkmonitor.org), he never made me feel like an employee. He treated me as a younger brother—with warmth, trust and respect. His guidance was generous, his encouragement sincere, and his door was always open whenever I needed help or advice. I will remain deeply grateful for the confidence he placed in me and for all that he taught me.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble human being: kind-hearted, humble and always ready to help. He was also a visionary intellectual whose ideas reached beyond the immediate moment. He brought together deep knowledge, curiosity and a belief in using one’s abilities to make a meaningful difference.

The tributes from his students and colleagues speak of the same qualities I was fortunate to experience myself: a brilliant mind joined with a compassionate heart, and a mentor who made people feel valued. His influence lives on in the people he guided, the work he inspired and the many lives he touched.

For me, he will always be more than a respected chairman or a remarkable intellectual. He will be the elder brother who welcomed me, believed in me and guided me with affection. I will carry his lessons and his kindness with me always. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and never forgotten.

NEW DELHI: With the objective of promoting Hindi globally, preserving India’s linguistic and cultural heritage, and connecting the younger generation with Hindi, the Vishwarang Foundation (India) and Rabindranath Tagore University, Bhopal are jointly organising the Vishwarang International Hindi Olympiad 2026. The Olympiad will be conducted from September 14 (Hindi Day) to September 30 (International Translation Day) across more than 70 countries, including India.

The Vishwarang International Hindi Olympiad aims to present Hindi not merely as a subject, but as an important language of global communication, literature, culture and knowledge. Through the Olympiad, students learning and studying Hindi in different countries will receive a common international platform to showcase their language skills.

Students to Participate at Six Levels

Santosh Choubey, Director, Vishwarang, and Chancellor, Rabindranath Tagore University, said that students from Class 1 to postgraduate level in India, and students from Level 1 to Level 6 internationally, will have the opportunity to participate across six different levels. The Olympiad will provide students who read, write, speak and understand Hindi in India and abroad with a common global platform.

He said that the Vishwarang International Hindi Olympiad, through its expansive format, is an important initiative to connect Hindi with the younger generation across the world. In India, the school-level examination will be conducted online for students from Classes 1 to 12, while the college-level examination will cover undergraduate and postgraduate categories. The competition will also be conducted online at the international level.

INR 1 Crore in Prizes; Certificates for All Participants

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.
