Hoisting saffron flag atop Ram temple come as immense pride to sanatan culture: Amit Shah

Amit Shah says the saffron flag hoisted by PM Modi and Mohan Bhagwat at the Ram temple marks immense pride for Sanatan culture, as the ceremony coincided with the auspicious Ram&ndash;Sita Vivah day.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said the hoisting of saffron flag atop Ram temple in Ayodhya by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat came as immense pride to the sanatan culture and Lord Ram's devotees.
In an X post in Hindi, Shah said, "Victory to the illustrious Lord Ramachandra! On the pinnacle of the grand and divine temple built on the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, who established the ideal of dharma and karma for all of humanity, the sacred Dharmadhvaja (flag of virtue) was formally installed by the sacred hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat ji, in the holy presence of the saintly community."

Shah said the flag was hoisted on "the sacred day of the marriage of Mother Sita and Lord Shri Ram."
"This is a day of immense pride for sanatan culture and devotees of Ram," the home minister wrote, adding, "This Dharmadhvaja will inspire one to know the life and ideals of Lord Shri Ram and to follow in his footsteps."

Calling the moment "epochal", Modi remarked that the "wounds and pain" of centuries are healing as a 500-year-old resolve is finally being fulfilled with the formal completion of the temple.

The home minister had said that top investigating agencies were probing the blast with full intensity, and will go in-depth into the explosion which took place in a Hyundai i20 car.

According to a senior police officer, "The blast occurred in a moving Hyundai i20 car in which three people were sitting. We have not found any pellet or puncture in the body of the injured, which is unusual in a bomb blast. We are investigating all angles."
Police sources said the car was registered in the name of one Nadeem Khan and bore a Haryana number plate.
Ten fire tenders were rushed to the spot as police cordoned off the area, the Delhi Fire Services said. The blaze caused by the blast was brought under control by 7.29 pm, officials said.
According to a fire department official, six cars, two e-rickshaws and one autorickshaw were gutted in the fire.

Amit Shah Meets Bihar CM Nitish Kumar as State Gears for Elections

Amit Shah's Strategic Visit to Bihar Pre-Elections

Union Home Minister Amit Shah met Bihar CM Nitish Kumar in Patna during his three-day visit, ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections. Shah will address public and organisational events for the NDA.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is on a three-day visit to poll-bound Bihar, met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Patna on Friday. BJP sources said it was a courtesy meeting between Shah and Kumar, also the JD(U) supremo.
Shah, accompanied by senior BJP leaders, including Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, met Kumar at 1 Anne Marg, the official residence of the CM here. Senior JD(U) leaders, including the party&rsquo;s working national president Sanjay Jha, were also present at the meeting.
Elections to the 243-member assembly will be held in two phases, on November 6 and November 11, while counting of votes will take place on November 14.
Later in the day, Shah is scheduled to address a public meeting in Saran in favour of NDA nominees in Amnaur and Taraiya assembly seats. He will also address a gathering of intellectuals at Gyan Bhawan in Patna, said a BJP leader.
Besides, the home minister will hold BJP's organisational discussions and meet leaders of alliance partners during his three-day visit. State BJP president Dilip Jaiswal had received Shah at Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport here on Thursday evening.
During his Bihar tour, Shah is also likely to participate in processions before the filing of nomination papers by some NDA candidates.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised Operation Sindoor for targeting Pakistani terror infrastructure and announced a new NSG hub in Ayodhya during the force’s 41st Raising Day celebrations.

Operation Sindoor ensured devastation of Pak terror HQs, launchpads: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised Operation Sindoor for targeting Pakistani terror infrastructure and announced a new NSG hub in Ayodhya during the force&rsquo;s 41st Raising Day celebrations.

Operation Sindoor ensured the devastation of headquarters, training centres and launchpads of terrorist groups in Pakistan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday, asserting that no place is safe for terrorists anymore.
Addressing the 41st Raising Day of the anti-terror 'Black Cat' commando force National Security Guard (NSG) at its headquarters here, Shah also said the Indian security forces are resolutely determined to go to the depths of the Earth to punish every act of terror.
"Operation Sindoor has ensured the devastation of Pakistani terror headquarters, their training centres and launchpads... In Operation Mahadev, our security forces carried out precise action to eliminate the terrorists who carried out the terror attack in Pahalgam. It has further strengthened the confidence of the citizens in the security forces," he said.
Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian defence forces targeted terror infrastructure and defence installations in Pakistan in May, following an attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed 26 lives.
The home minister said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism.
If one analyses the government's campaign against terrorists carefully, from abolishing Article 370 (which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir) to surgical strike, air strike and Operation Sindoor, it will become clear that the security forces have hit at the very roots of terrorists and terror groups, Shah said.
"No matter where terrorists hide, our security forces have proven that no place is safe for terrorists anymore. Our soldiers are resolutely determined to go to the depths of the Earth to punish every act of terror," he said.
Since 2019, he said, the central government has taken a number of steps to protect the country from terror threats.
These include amendments to Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and National Investigation Agency Act, besides actively pursuing cases registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act by the Enforcement Directorate to investigate the funding of terror groups, he added.
Shah said the government has also established a system for scientific investigation of terror funding, banned the terror group Popular Front of India, and strengthened the Multi Agency Centre for gathering and sharing intelligence inputs on terror groups across the country.
"For the first time, we have defined terrorism in the new criminal laws and filled the gaps previously found in the courts. So far, we have declared more than 57 individuals and numerous organisations as unlawful," he said.
Over the years, he said, the NSG has fought a very significant battle against organised crime and terrorism in the country.
The NSG has protected the nation with its bravery in several serious attacks since 1984. These include Operation Ashwamedh, Operation Vajra Shakti and Operation Dhangu Suraksha, he said.
"Seeing the bravery of the NSG, every citizen of the country feels that the security of the nation is in very safe hands. The entire country takes pride in the bravery of the NSG. I extend my very best wishes to NSG soldiers for this," Shah said.
The NSG is a federal contingency force under the Union home ministry. It was raised in 1984 and its 'Black Cat' commandos are tasked with specific counter-terrorist and counter-hijack operations, apart from protecting high-risk VIPs.
Shah said the government is going to set up a hub of the NSG -- the sixth of the force -- in the temple town of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
The five existing NSG hubs are Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Gandhinagar.
The home minister also laid the foundation stone of a special operation training centre of the NSG which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 141 crore in an area spanning 8 acres.
This state-of-the-art training centre will not only be for the NSG, but will also train personnel of anti-terrorist squads from across the country. This will further strengthen the country's fight against terrorism, Shah said.&nbsp;

Union Minister Amit Shah introduced three Bills in Lok Sabha proposing removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and ministers arrested on serious criminal charges for 30 days.

Uproar in LS as Amit Shah moves Bills for removal of PM, CMs, ministers arrested on criminal charges

Union Minister Amit Shah introduced three Bills in Lok Sabha proposing removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and ministers arrested on serious criminal charges for 30 days.

Union Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday moved three Bills in Lok Sabha for the removal of prime minister, chief ministers, and ministers arrested on serious criminal charges for 30 days, drawing fierce protests from the Opposition.
As soon as the bill was tabled, the Opposition members began protests and trooped into the well, raising slogans, as some of them tore copies of the Bills in front of Shah.
As Opposition MPs, including AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi and Congress' Manish Tewari and K C Venugopal, spoke against the introduction, terming the proposed law against the Constitution and federalism, Shah rejected criticism that the Bills were brought in haste.
The home minister said the Bills will be sent to the Joint Committee of Parliament, where members of both Houses, including those from the Opposition, would get an opportunity to give their suggestions.
When Venugopal raised the issue of Shah's arrest while he was the home minister of Gujarat and asked about his claim of morality in politics, the senior BJP leader countered, saying he had resigned on moral grounds before his arrest and joined the government only after being discharged by the court.
"We cannot be so shameless that we continue to occupy constitutional positions while facing serious charges," Shah said.
Amid continuous noisy protests, the House was adjourned till 3 pm.
As the protests escalated, BJP members, including Union Ministers Ravneet Singh Bittu and Kiren Rijiju came near Shah and there was a brief jostling between Opposition and ruling party MPs.
Three House marshals formed a protective ring around Shah. Even after the House was adjourned, the Opposition members continued with the sloganeering.
The three Bills are the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill 2025; the Constitution (One Hundred And Thirtieth Amendment) Bill 2025; and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2025.
The Bills have proposed that if the prime minister, union ministers or chief ministers, are arrested and detained in custody for 30 consecutive days for offences that attract a jail term of at least five years, they will lose their job on the 31st day.
Opposing the Bill at the introduction stage, Owaisi said the Constitution is being amended to "destabilise governments".
Tewari echoed similar views, saying that one is "innocent till proven guilty".
"....this Bill is against the jurisprudence of criminal justice and distorts Parliamentary democracy. The bill opens door for political misuse and throws all constitutional safeguards to the winds," he said.
RSP MP NK Premchandran alleged that the Bills are being introduced in "undue haste".
"These Bills are not being introduced as per the procedures of the House. What is the undue haste in bringing such important Bills that they have not even been circulated to the members," he said.
According to the Bill, there is no provision under the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963 (20 of 1963) for the removal of the chief minister or a minister arrested and detained in custody on account of serious criminal charges.
Hence, there is a need to amend section 45 of the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, to provide a legal framework for the removal of a chief minister or a minister in such cases.

Gandhi appeared before the court around 10.55 am.
"Rahul Gandhi ji appeared before the court as per the direction of the Jharkhand High Court. He had sought bail. Conditional bail has been granted. We will now take the process ahead," Gandhi's counsel Pranav Daripa said.
The lawyer said the case pertained to defamation and was registered in 2018.
"The case was initially registered in Ranchi and was transferred to Chaibasa in 2021. We had filed a petition for exemption from personal appearance before the high court, and we are here as per the high court's direction," he added.
Another high court lawyer, Dheeraj Kumar, said, "Conditional bail was granted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Chaibasa MP-MLA special court of Supriya Rani Tigga asked Gandhi to cooperate in the trial." The lawyers said that the court has asked Gandhi to cooperate in the proceedings.
Gandhi had, on June 2, moved the Jharkhand High Court, challenging the order of the special court here, which had directed him to appear before it on June 26.
The Congress MP's counsel had informed the high court on June 10 that his client would not be able to appear on the specified day, and instead requested it to grant August 6 for the appearance.
The high court had accepted his request.
A case of defamation was filed against Gandhi by a person named Pratap Kumar for allegedly making defamatory statements against Shah at a rally in Chaibasa in 2018.
Kumar, in his petition filed before the court of the magistrate in Chaibasa, had alleged that Gandhi's statements were defamatory and made purposely to malign the stature of Shah.
Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, arrived in Jharkhand on Tuesday to attend the funeral of veteran tribal leader and former chief minister Shibu Soren at his ancestral village Nemra in adjoining Ramgarh district.
According to officials, Gandhi took a helicopter from Ranchi to reach Chaibasa.
A helipad was set up at Tata College Ground for the purpose, they added.

Congress accused PM Modi and Amit Shah of deflecting from current failures by repeatedly attacking Nehru in Parliament, calling it a tactic to distract from policy issues.

Congress Attacks Modi, Shah for Nehru Remarks in Lok Sabha

Congress Rebukes Modi, Shah Over Nehru Remarks

Congress accused PM Modi and Amit Shah of deflecting from current failures by repeatedly attacking Nehru in Parliament, calling it a tactic to distract from policy issues.

The Congress on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their "present-day failures" and they choose to "divert, distract, distort, and defame".
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today." "They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions," he said.
Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame, he said.
"The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India's second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science," Ramesh said.
Speaking during the discussion in Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Modi said the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru lost over 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin.
He slammed the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first prime minister signed with Pakistan as a "big blunder".
"Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond -- who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru," Modi had said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Shah also hit out at Nehru when he intervened in the debate.
Shah said a blunder by the main opposition party led to the creation of Pakistan and claimed that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was the legacy of first prime minister Nehru.
"In 1948, our armed forces were at a decisive stage in Kashmir. Sardar Patel kept saying no, but (Jawaharlal) Nehru announced a unilateral ceasefire. If Pak-occupied Kashmir exists today, it is due to this unilateral ceasefire announced by Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru is responsible for this," the home minister had said.
He had also claimed that Nehru ceded the geographical and strategic advantage India enjoyed, and offered 80 per cent of the Indus waters to Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960.&nbsp;

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge held Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Jammu & Kashmir LG's security lapse admission.

Amit Shah must take responsibility for 'security lapse' at Pahalgam: Mallikarjun Kharge in Rajya Sabha

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge held Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Jammu &amp; Kashmir LG's security lapse admission.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said Home Minister Amit Shah must take responsibility for the "security lapse" which led to the Pahalgam terror attack, and demanded that accountability be fixed.
He was citing Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha's statement.
Speaking during the special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in the Upper House, the Congress leader attacked the government and took a jibe at PM Narendra Modi's unscheduled visit to Pakistan in 2015.
Kharge said the prime minister should have been present at all-party meet instead of campaigning in Bihar, and questioned Modi's sincerity towards national security.
Demanding accountability, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said the government should admit its 'lapses' and 'failure' in stopping terror attacks.
He asked if Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor's statement on security lapses was aimed at "saving" the home minister.
"Jammu Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha himself admitted that Pahalgam was a security lapse and what happened in Pahalgam was unfortunate, innocent people were brutally killed. (Sinha said) I take all responsibility for the incident. However the home minister must take responsibility for security lapse not the LG," Kharge said.
Congress President and LoP Kharge accused the Modi govt of being arrogant, and not responding to letters by the opposition.&nbsp;

Three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were eliminated near Srinagar under Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Lok Sabha.

Three terrorists involved in Pahalgam eliminated, Amit Shah announces in Lok Sabha

Three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were eliminated near Srinagar under Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Lok Sabha.

Three of the terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam massacre have been eliminated by security forces in a joint operation by the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police near Srinagar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
The terrorists were killed Monday in an operation dubbed Mahadev but officials had held back in identifying them conclusively as the Pahalgam attackers.
Participating in a special discussion on Operation Sindoor, Shah also attacked the opposition party for giving a "clean chit" to Pakistan for the April 22 Pahalgam attack. Had the Congress opposed Partition, the problem of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir would never have occurred, he said.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Shah was referring to former Home Minister P Chidambaram's recent remarks that those behind the Pahalgam massacre could be "homegrown terrorists".
Giving details of 'Operation Mahadev', Shah said the slain terrorists have been identified as Suleman alias Faizal, Afghani and Jibran.
"While Suleman was an A-category commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Afghani was also an A-category LeT terrorist. Jibran too was a notorious and wanted terrorist. All these three involved in the killing of our citizens at Baisaran valley in Pahalgam have now been eliminated," he said.
Shah said the identity of the terrorists was confirmed by those detained for sheltering and providing them with food ahead of the Pahalgam attack.
The arms -- one M-9 and two AK-47 rifles -- recovered from the terrorists were flown to Chandigarh Monday night in a special flight for examination at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.
The empty cartridges found at Pahalgam and those after test firing by the guns recovered from the terrorists were matched by the forensic lab, Shah said. The ballistic report is with him, he added.
"Six forensic experts have confirmed to me on a video call this morning that these are the same bullets used in the Pahalgam attack," he said.
Shah said security forces had recovered Pakistani voter IDs of two of the killed terrorists as well as chocolates made in Pakistan and the weapons.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, through Operation Sindoor, ensured that the masterminds of the Pahalgam attack were eliminated. And yesterday, in Operation Mahadev, those terrorists who were involved were eliminated," he said.
Describing the Pahalgam attack as barbaric, Shah said innocent civilians were brutally killed in front of their families after being asked about their religion.
Expressing condolences for those killed in Pahalgam and during Pakistani shelling on civilians, he said civilians were martyred and some gurdwaras and temples damaged due to Pakistani firing.
Terrorists are now being sent from Pakistan to Jammu and Kashmir as there are no local terrorists in Kashmir, Shah said.
He said after the elimination of the three terrorists, he thought this news would spark a wave of joy across treasury and opposition benches. "But opposition faces are gloomy," he said.
Describing Pakistan as the root of all terrorism, he said Pakistan was a mistake committed by the Congress. "Had they rejected Partition, there would have been no Pakistan," he added.
Referring to Chidambaram's statement, Shah said it was extremely unfortunate that a former home minister is saying what evidence was there.
"What are they trying to prove? Whom are they trying to protect? They say that the terrorists were not Pakistani, and in this way, a former home minister from Congress is trying to give Pakistan a clean chit. By saying this, Chidambaram wants to suggest that if the terrorists were not Pakistani, then why did we attack Pakistan," he said, adding this was a clear conspiracy to protect Pakistan.
Shah said under Operation Sindoor, Indian forces attacked targets 100 km inside Pakistan and India could exposed state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.
He said India's armed forces crippled Pakistan's defence systems in such a manner that the neighbouring country had no choice but to request India to halt attacks.
"In 1948, Indian armed forces were in a decisive position to take back Pakistan occupied Kashmir but then PM Jawaharlal Nehru declared unilateral ceasefire," he said.
In 1971, Shah said, 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered and India had 15,000 sq km Pakistan territory under control, but still PoK was not taken back.
During 1962 war with China, then PM Nehru bade goodbye to Assam in a speech on Akashvani, he said.
Shah said between 2005 and 2011, there were 27 terrorists attacks but what did the Congress government do, they just sent dossiers to Pakistan.
"Terrorists now sent from Pakistan to J-K as no local terrorists in Kashmir... Scrapping of Article 370 has destroyed terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
"From 2004 to 2014, there were 7,217 terrorist incidents in Kashmir. From 2014 to 2025, these reduced by 70 per cent to 2,150. From 2004 to 2014, 1,770 civilians died. This reduced by 80 per cent to 357 from 2014 to 2025. From 2004 to 2014, the number of deaths of security forces was 1,060. This decreased to 542 in our time. And there was a 123 per cent increase in the deaths of terrorists," he said.
Attacking Congress, Shah said underworld don Dawood Ibrahim fled in 1986 when Rajiv Gandhi's government was in power, terrorists Syed Salahuddin, Tiger Memon, Anis Ibrahim Kaskar fled in 1993 when Congress government was in power and when Riyaz Bhatkal fled in 2007 and Iqbal Bhatkal fled in 2010, then again it was a Congress government.
"The answer they demanded from me has already been given by our security forces. Now let Rahul Gandhi answer why these people fled," he said.
Shah said Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) was scrapped by the Manmohan Singh government in its first cabinet meeting after coming to power in 2004.
"The country deserves to know who benefitted from Congress repealing POTA? Those opposed to POTA will never appreciate Narendra Modi's anti-terror policies," he said.&nbsp;

Amit Shah Highlights Cooperative Innovation at UN

At a UN event, Amit Shah hailed India&rsquo;s cooperatives as engines of rural empowerment, innovation, and self-reliance, emphasizing their expansion into digital, energy, and financial sectors.

Cooperatives in India have gone beyond their traditional boundaries and are now a medium for innovation and self-reliance in areas such as digital services, energy and financial inclusion, Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah told the UN.
Shah delivered a pre-recorded video message on Monday at a special commemorative event on &lsquo;Cooperatives and Sustainable Development: Maintaining momentum and exploring new avenues&rsquo;.
&ldquo;In India, cooperation is a vibrant and community-driven system that envelopes every sector - from agriculture to finance, from consumption to construction, and from rural empowerment to digital inclusion through mutual collaboration and democratic participation,&rdquo; Shah said.
"Its unique strength lies in the fact that it delivers benefits at the local level while also becoming a powerful medium for providing dignified livelihoods in rural and underdeveloped areas.&rdquo; Shah said the event&rsquo;s theme reflects that the idea of cooperation is not only relevant in today's modern world but is also essential for sustainable and inclusive development.
&ldquo;In India, cooperatives have now gone beyond their traditional boundaries and have become a medium for innovation and self-reliance in areas such as digital services, healthcare, education, energy, organic farming, and financial inclusion,&rdquo; he said.
Shah said that technological innovation is making cooperatives more inclusive today.
The Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, in collaboration with the Permanent Mission of Kenya and the Permanent Mission of Mongolia to the United Nations, organised the event to mark the International Year of Cooperatives 2025 at the United Nations Headquarters.
Shah voiced his firm belief that the principles of cooperatives, their values, and their people-centric approach make them one of the most impactful models of human-centred development.
The Ministry of Cooperation was established in July 2021, and Shah became the first Minister of Cooperation of the country.
He said the setting up of the Ministry of Cooperation in 2021 has proven to be a historic and decisive step.
Today, over 840,000 cooperative societies in the country have more than 320 million members actively engaged. &nbsp;With a view to make cooperative products globally competitive, India has set up three multi-state cooperative societies - Bharatiya Beej Sahkari Samiti Limited (BBSSL), National Cooperative Organics Limited (NCOL) and National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL).
The objectives of these societies are to provide farmers with direct access to global markets, quality inputs, branding, marketing and a fair share in export profits.
"These institutions represent powerful steps toward transforming producers from local to global,&rdquo; Shah said at the event, which was attended by representatives of UN member states, UN agencies, senior government officials, cooperative leaders, and other key stakeholders from around the world.
&ldquo;Cooperation is laying a strong foundation of service, self-reliance, employment, and innovation, ensuring that every Indian becomes both a participant in and beneficiary of development. This model is offering a clear and strong identity to India's concept of inclusive development on the global stage,&rdquo; he said.
Shah pointed out that India has recently established the Tribhuvan Sahkari University, which will serve as a hub for education, research, innovation, and leadership development at the national level in the cooperative sector.
Alongside this, the formulation of the National Cooperation Policy marks a historic step toward making the cooperative movement more transparent, accountable, and future-oriented, he said.
He further noted that India's world-largest grain storage plan is being implemented through cooperatives, emphasising that this initiative not only strengthens food security but also ensures organised markets and increased prices for farmers. &nbsp;India&rsquo;s Permanent Representative to the UN ​Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish highlighted the vital role played by the cooperative sector in India&rsquo;s national growth.
Noting the steps taken by the Government of India to strengthen the cooperative sector, including the National Cooperative Policy 2025-45, he stressed the need to use new and emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to make cooperatives more effective and capable of facing emerging new challenges.
Managing Director of National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED) Deepak Agarwal gave a detailed presentation on the Indian cooperative sector, highlighting the spirit of collaboration and shared ownership, a press release issued by the Indian mission said.

Healthcare Initiatives Praised by Amit Shah

Amit Shah commended Modi&rsquo;s healthcare focus, including free treatment for 60 crore citizens and a rise in medical institutions.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government for its "holistic" approach in addressing health issues faced by the public.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Adichunchanagiri University (ACU) Bengaluru campus.
"Our leader and PM Modi had said several years ago in Gujarat that poverty's biggest issue is illness, and the cost of treatment; the administration has to provide for the treatment of illness for the poor. I can say with pride today that Modi, when he became the Prime Minister, has fulfilled it by providing 60 crore poor with free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh," Shah said.
The Modi government has addressed the problem of health with a holistic view, with initiatives like building toilets in about 12 crore houses, through Fit India movement, Yoga Day, Mission Indradanush and Poshan Abhiyaan, Ayushman Bharat, and Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana, he added.
"In a way, it is being ensured that a citizen doesn't fall ill from the time he/she is in the mother's womb until the person becomes a complete citizen, and in case the person is ill, he takes treatment without paying a higher price for it," he added.
Major efforts were taken to increase the number of doctors in the country, Shah said. In 2014, the country had 7 AIIMS, and today there are 23 AIIMS, and the number of medical colleges has increased from 387 to 780.
"There were 51,000 MBBS seats then (2014), today it is 1,18,000, and the number of PG seats was 31,000, today it is 74,000. So, 1,18,000 MBBS doctors and 74,000 double graduate doctors are coming out every year in the country," he added.
Lauding the Adichunchanagiri Math and its institutions for their work in improving the health of people in villages by establishing wellness centres, providing free treatment for the poor, and imparting quality education to students, Shah praised the Nirmalanandanatha Swamiji for keeping up with the 1,800-year-old traditions of the Math.
"The Math is taking together tradition and modern innovations, by connecting children and youth with our culture and tradition, and imparting to them quality and modern education. Thereby, it helps them attain a good position in society," he said, adding that the Adichunchanagiri Math is working to uplift the spirit of individuals and the society as a whole.
Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Steel H D Kumaraswamy and Union Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti V Somanna, and Nirmalanandanatha Mahaswamiji of the Adichunchanagiri Math were present.

Prior to this, on Sunday, CM Yogi addressed the Kisan Samman Samaroh in Auraiya, where he underlined the Centre's efforts to prioritise farmers in national policy. On his way from Lucknow to Auraiya, he also conducted an aerial survey of maize crops in the region.
While addressing the gathering, CM Yogi said, "You must have seen for the first time in 2014 that the farmer who provides food can also become a part of the political agenda of a government, when PM Modi started the Soil Health Card Scheme."
He went on to highlight several farmer-centric schemes initiated by the Central Government to safeguard the agricultural community's future, including the Soil Health Card Scheme, the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Agricultural Irrigation Scheme, the Agricultural Insurance Scheme, and the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi.
"After the Soil Health Card, the Prime Minister's Agricultural Irrigation Scheme and then the Prime Minister's Agricultural Insurance Scheme were implemented and the Prime Minister's Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme was implemented," he said.
These initiatives, he noted, have delivered tangible outcomes. The PM-KISAN Scheme has become the largest direct benefit transfer program globally, transferring more than Rs 3.25 lakh crore to farmers' accounts.
"12 crore farmers in the country benefit from the Prime Minister's Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. This double-engine government is also working towards making the future of its farmers beautiful and secure in the state. When our government came in 2017, farmers were committing suicide. There were no facilities anywhere," said CM Yogi.
He also reflected on his government&rsquo;s first major move in 2017 &mdash; implementing a massive loan waiver programme. "In 2017, when we came, first of all, we took forward the loan waiver program of Rs 36000 crore for 86 lakh farmers, and after the loan waiver, we resorted to the Prime Minister's Agricultural Irrigation Scheme to develop the irrigation capacity in the state," he said.
