JAMMU: Maa Shakti, a social organization from Jammu dedicated to the welfare and development of children and youth submitted a cheque to the BJP leadership containing a donation of Rs. 2,30,675 towards the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.

The NGO led by its president RK Bhan and others, formally handed over the letter of contribution and the demand draft to J&K BJP President & Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA) and Leader of Opposition in the J&K Assembly Sunil Sharma at the BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

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.
