Creation of separate ministry infused new energy in India's cooperative movement: Amit Shah
Jamnagar, Jul 29: The country's cooperative movement received new vigour and momentum after the Narendra Modi-led government established a separate ministry for the sector, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has said. He was speaking after virtually inaugurating 'Sahakar Bhavan', the newly constructed headquarters of Jamnagar District Cooperative Bank here on Tuesday. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel was present on the occasion. Modernisation is essential for strengthening the cooperative system, and this process begins with modernising the headquarters and functioning of the cooperative institutions, Shah noted. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government of India established a separate Ministry of Cooperation and infused new energy and momentum into the country's cooperative movement, he said. The Centre set up a separate Ministry of Cooperation in 2021. The ministry provides a separate administrative, legal and policy framework to strengthen the cooperative movement in the country. Shah emphasised that initiatives, such as establishing more than two lakh new primary agricultural credit societies (PACS) and dairy cooperative societies, adding more than 20 new business activities to PACS, taking the audit system of cooperative institutions online and connecting different cooperative institutions, will play an important role in ensuring the prosperity of farmers and strengthening the rural economy in the coming years. The Jamnagar District Cooperative Bank, which began in 1969 with a modest capital of only Rs 2.5 lakh, has a business of more than Rs 215 crore today, he said. As service cooperative societies and dairy cooperative societies expand their areas of operation, the bank will play an increasingly important role as a major institution meeting the financial requirements of the cooperative sector across the district, the minister said. The modern headquarters, constructed at a cost of approximately Rs 25 crore, has been built on 25,000 square feet of land, and offers nearly 47,000 square feet of functional space. The building has been designed keeping in view the bank's projected requirements for the next 15 years, he said. The new headquarters of Jamnagar District Cooperative Bank has been constructed in conformity with all the standards prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and NABARD, and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Union minister added.

Gujarat To Send Record Nine Athletes To Represent India At 2026 Asian Games
Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi: Gujarat will have its largest-ever representation at the Asian Games, with nine athletes and one reserve player selected to represent India at the 20th Asian Games in Japan's Aichi-Nagoya from September 19 to October 4, 2026. The selection marks a significant increase from the 2014 Asian Games, when only three athletes from Gujarat represented the country. State officials said the latest contingent reflects the steady expansion of Gujarat's presence across multiple sporting disciplines at the international level. The athletes selected from Gujarat include shooter Elavenil Valarivan; table tennis players Harmeet Desai, Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah; soft tennis player Aniket Patel; swimmer Aryan Nehra; tennis players Ankita Raina and Vaidehi Chaudhari; and sprinter Devyani Zala. Tennis player Jil Desai has been named as a reserve. Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi said the increase in representation was the result of long-term investment in sports development. To ensure that athletes from Gujarat develop their talent at the international level, the then Chief Minister and now Prime Minister Narendra Modi implemented initiatives ranging from Khel Mahakumbh to the Shaktidoot Yojana. The results of those efforts are now visible. Gujarat is emerging as a global powerhouse in sports, Sanghavi said. He added that the state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, was focussed on creating a comprehensive sporting ecosystem. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat is fully focussed on building a world-class sporting culture. We are not only training athletes but also creating an entire ecosystem that enables them to bring glory to the nation at the international level, he said. Sanghavi also said Gujarat was preparing to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and that work to develop world-class sports infrastructure was progressing on a war footing. According to the state government, Gujarat's participation in major international events, including the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, has steadily increased over the past decade. Sanghavi also said Gujarat was preparing to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and that work to develop world-class sports infrastructure was progressing on a war footing.

Student Protests: Why Gen Z is Asking India to Reimagine Democracy
The images emerging from Delhi and other parts of the Country over the past few days have captured more than a protest. They have captured the mood of a generation. The gathering of students, many members of Generation Z, alongside young lawyers and other citizens in peaceful democratic demonstrations reflects a larger national conversation about justice, constitutional values, governance and the future of the Republic. Whether one agrees with every demand or every slogan is secondary. Democracies are ultimately judged not by the absence of dissent but by how they respond to it. Peaceful protests have historically served as democratic correctives, compelling governments and institutions to introspect, engage and reform. Indias constitutional journey has repeatedly been shaped by its youth. From the freedom movement to the Nav Nirman movement in Gujarat, the JP movement, and numerous student-led campaigns on education, corruption and public accountability, young Indians have often become the moral barometer of the nation. Todays Gen Z is no different. They are digitally connected, politically aware, constitutionally conscious and unwilling to remain passive spectators when they perceive democratic institutions to be under strain or public concerns inadequately addressed. Unlike earlier generations, Gen Z has grown up in an India transformed by technology, social media and global connectivity. Their expectations from governance are correspondingly higher. They seek transparent institutions, employment opportunities, quality education, affordable living, environmental sustainability, gender justice, institutional autonomy and equal opportunities. They expect governments to listen rather than merely communicate, to consult rather than simply command. What is equally significant is the increasing participation of young members of the legal fraternity. Law students and young lawyers have traditionally occupied a unique place in Indias democratic landscape. As future custodians of constitutional governance and the rule of law, their engagement in public discourse underscores a deeper concern for the preservation of constitutional institutions and civil liberties. Lawyers are not merely officers of the court; they are also guardians of constitutional values. Their participation in peaceful democratic processes enriches public debate and reminds society that constitutionalism is a living practice, not merely a legal doctrine. The Constitution of India does not merely establish institutions; it creates a culture of accountability. Articles guaranteeing freedom of speech, peaceful assembly and association recognise that citizens have both the right and the responsibility to participate in democratic life. Peaceful dissent is therefore not an inconvenience to democracyit is one of its defining features. At the heart of these demonstrations lies a larger question: what kind of Republic does India aspire to become? Economic growth remains indispensable, but prosperity without justice, institutional credibility and social cohesion cannot sustain democratic legitimacy. Citizens increasingly seek governance that is transparent, accountable, compassionate and constitutionally anchored. They expect institutions to function independently, public authorities to remain answerable, and policymaking to be informed by consultation rather than confrontation. Constitutionalism is not merely about adhering to written provisions; it embodies a philosophy that no public authority is above constitutional limitations. It requires an independent judiciary, a free press, autonomous institutions, robust parliamentary debate and an informed citizenry. These are not obstacles to governance. They are the very foundations of democratic governance. Equally indispensable is inclusivity. Indias diversity has always been its civilisational strength. Every citizen, irrespective of religion, caste, language, gender or region, must experience equal dignity under the Constitution. A confident Republic does not fear diversity; it draws strength from it. Inclusive governance reduces alienation, strengthens national integration and deepens public trust. The concerns voiced by many young Indians extend well beyond campuses. Questions relating to unemployment, educational opportunities, rising living costs, social mobility, institutional integrity and equal access to justice increasingly dominate public discourse. These are not partisan questions. They are questions about the quality of the social contract between the State and its citizens. History demonstrates that governments become stronger when they engage with criticism rather than dismiss it. Dialogue is not a concession; it is a democratic obligation. Mature democracies derive resilience from their ability to accommodate disagreement without perceiving it as disloyalty. At the same time, peaceful protest imposes responsibilities upon citizens. Demonstrations must remain non-violent, respectful of public property and mindful of the rights of others. The legitimacy of democratic movements is strengthened when constitutional methods remain their sole instrument. India now stands at an important democratic crossroads. With one of the worlds youngest populations, the aspirations of Gen Z will significantly shape the Republics future. Their expectations cannot simply be deferred; they must be understood and constructively engaged. Political leadership across ideological divides would do well to recognise that todays youth seek not merely promises but performance, not rhetoric but responsive governance. Ultimately, democratic changewhether in policy or leadershipmust always occur through constitutional means. The ballot remains the ultimate instrument of accountability in a parliamentary democracy. Citizens evaluate governments, weigh competing visions and determine the nations future through free and fair elections. That is the constitutional path to political renewal. The protests in Delhi should therefore not be viewed narrowly as a moment of campus unrest. They are a reminder that democracy is sustained by an active citizenry, responsive institutions and unwavering fidelity to constitutional values. They invite India to renew its commitment to justice, the rule of law, institutional integrity and inclusive development. The message from Indias youth is neither one of despair nor disruption. It is one of expectation. They seek a Republic where governance is transparent, institutions command public confidence, constitutional morality guides public policy and every citizen feels equally invested in the nations future. If India listens with wisdom rather than reacts with anxiety, this moment can become an opportunity for democratic renewal. The energy of Gen Z, the constitutional commitment of students and young lawyers, and the aspirations of millions of ordinary citizens can together strengthen the Republic envisioned by our Constitutionone founded upon justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. That is the conversation India must now havenot about the legitimacy of peaceful dissent, but about how constitutional democracy can better respond to the hopes of its youngest generation. (The Author is a noted Senior Advocate Supreme Court of India and a political Analyst)

Centre providing all necessary support to affected states, UTs: MHA
New Delhi, Jul 23:The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday said it is proactively monitoring the monsoon situation across the country. The MHA said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, it was providing all necessary support to affected states and Union Territories in managing challenges posed by heavy rains. It said that in July 2026, country has faced heavy rains and landslides in some parts like J&K, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Dadar and Nagar Haveli, and Daman. The MHA said that it's Integrated Control Room (ICR-ER) is working in close coordination with other central agencies including India Meteorological Department (IMD), Central Water Commission (CWC), and Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) for raising timely alerts to State Emergency Operation Centres and District Emergency Operation Centres. It said that besides disseminating early warnings up to states, UTs, and districts, the control rooms are monitoring all the rescue activities round the clock.
