Amit Shah announces new cooperative life insurance firm, Bharat Taxi expansion to 500 cities
Union Minister Amit Shah on Monday announced that a cooperative life insurance company will be established to expand the business areas of cooperatives and also said the services of Bharat Taxi would be increased to 500 cities in the next two years. At an event in the national capital to mark the fifth Foundation Day of the Ministry of Cooperation, he stressed eradicating corruption in the appointments of professionals to enhance credibility in Indias cooperative ecosystem. Shah, the Cooperation Minister, said the establishment of the ministry has given a new lifeline to Indias cooperative movement, which was a neglected movement during the Congress regime. India has around 8.5 lakh cooperatives with more than 30 crore members. Shah highlighted that the ministry has taken many policy initiatives to make the cooperative system modern, transparent, technology-enabled, and competitive. The minister said that ride-hailing platform Bharat Taxi, which was launched under the cooperative model, has been doing well and would be expanded into 500 cities in the next two years. On similar lines to Bharat Taxi, Shah said: We will be setting up a life insurance company in the cooperative sector. This will help in the growth of cooperatives in the insurance sector. He mentioned that IFFCO-TOKIO, a joint venture of fertiliser cooperative IFFCO, is already in the insurance business. In India, there are 26 life insurance companies. Bharat Taxi is an initiative of Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Ltd, a driver-centric mobility platform based on the cooperative model. At present, Bharat Taxi has 6.37 lakh registered drivers and 35.77 lakh registered customers. The service is operational in Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Kanpur and will soon be launched in Ranchi, Patna, Guwahati, Bhopal, Kolkata, Indore, and Nagpur in the next few months, according to an official statement. Addressing the event, Shah said a national cooperative was formed especially for seed production and expressed confidence that it will emerge as the countrys largest non-governmental seed production organisation in three years. The minister noted that the cooperative organisations have entered into many new sectors, expanding beyond dairy, sugar, fertiliser and banking businesses. Nearly 20 per cent of agricultural credit, 35 per cent of fertiliser distribution, and 31 per cent of sugar production are being carried out through cooperatives, he said. Shah mentioned that model bye-laws, which enable PACS (primary agricultural credit societies) to undertake 25-plus business activities, have now been adopted by all states, including West Bengal. According to the statement, these PACS now function beyond credit, covering retail, storage, healthcare, fuel, and digital services. As many as 394 PACS have applied for retail fuel outlets, and 3 outlets have been commissioned. More than 54,000 PACS are functioning as Common Service Centres while 4,248 PACS are approved for Jan Aushadhi Kendras. Listing out the initiatives, Shah said the ministry has identified the problems as well as opportunities in this sector. A database of the cooperative sector has been created which will help in identifying the gaps and enable expansion of cooperatives. Shah mentioned that Tribhuvan Sahkari University is being established at Anand in Gujarat, which will address the human resource problem. He said trained professionals in banking, dairy, marketing, agriculture, fertilizers, and other areas of cooperation will be prepared from this university. These professionals will be appointed based on merit. Our goal is to implement professional management in a phased manner from primary cooperative societies to top institutions. This will increase transparency in appointments, improve work efficiency, and also put an effective check on corruption related to appointments, Shah said. By eliminating corruption in appointments, the cooperative sector can win peoples trust, he said. The minister expressed confidence that the cooperative sector would play a key role in making Viksit Bharat by 2047. Shah emphasised the promotion of organic farming and reducing theuse of chemical fertilisers. We are bringing 100 per cent circular economy in the sugar and dairy sectors. Through this, manure that can serve as an alternative to DAP will be produced. This indigenous manure will be cheaper than DAP and better in quality, and will provide greater benefit to fields, he said. Shah appealed to the farmers to give up DAP (DI-ammonium phosphate) and accept and adopt this new manure in the coming days. Elaborating more, the minister said 50 important amendments have been made to the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, making the entire cooperative system more transparent and democratic. A total of nine national-level cooperative societies have been formed, including three new ones.

Faith taller than mountains: Elderly pilgrims defy age, pain on Amarnath route
Baltal, Jul 05: Their steps are slow, their bodies fragile, but their faith remains taller than the snow-clad mountains they climb. At the Baltal base camp, amid freezing winds, steep rocky tracks and thin mountain air, elderly pilgrims are emerging as the most inspiring faces of the ongoing Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra, proving that devotion can triumph over age, pain and physical limitations. Armed with walking sticks, wrapped in layers of woollens and often supported by family members or volunteers, senior citizens from across the country are undertaking the difficult pilgrimage with extraordinary determination, manycallingit the journey of a lifetime. For 76-year-old Om Prakash Sharma from Rajasthan, the dream of visiting the holy cave shrine of Baba Barfani had remained unfulfilled for decades. My health is not good, and my family was worried, but I told them faith gives strength that medicines cannot. I have waited many years for this darshan. No matter how difficult the route is, Baba himself gives us the courage to walk, he said while pausing for breath near the Baltal route. Nearby, 69-year-old Shanti Devi from Uttar Pradesh, leaning on her sons shoulder, smiled despite exhaustion and cold winds sweeping through the mountains. The body becomes weak with age, but devotion never grows old. Every time we chant Har Har Mahadev, we forget the pain and tiredness, she said. Seventy-three-year-old Baldev Singh from Punjab, carrying prayer beads in his hands, said he had undergone knee surgery last year but still decided to undertake the pilgrimage. My doctor advised me to avoid difficult travel, but I had made a promise to Baba Barfani. I believe when the call comes from the shrine, nothing can stop a devotee, he said. For Savitri Bai, a 71-year-old pilgrim from Maharashtra, the yatra is deeply emotional.I lost my husband three years ago, and this pilgrimage was our shared dream. I have come here carrying his memories and prayers with me. Standing in these mountains gives peace to the soul, she said with teary eyes. Another elderly yatri, 78-year-old Ghulam Nabi from Jammu, said the atmosphere of devotion itself gives strength to continue. When you see thousands chanting the name of Baba Barfani together, you forget your pain. The mountains may test the body, but faith keeps the heart alive, he said. Across the base camp and along the trek route, similar scenes are unfolding every day. Frail pilgrims with weak knees, respiratory problems and age-related ailments are slowly making their way towards the cave shrine on ponies, palkis and on foot, refusing to allow physical hardship to weaken their resolve. Many yatris said the harsh terrain only strengthens their spiritual connection. This yatra teaches patience, surrender and faith. Every difficult step feels like a prayer, said 72-year-old Ramesh Patel from Gujarat. Security forces and rescue teams deployed along the route are also playing a crucial role in helping elderly pilgrims complete the journey safely. Deputy Inspector General CRPF Srinagar North and nodal officer for Baltal base camp praised the spirit of senior citizens undertaking the pilgrimage and said every possible assistance was being extended to them. The determination and devotion shown by elderly yatris is truly remarkable. Despite physical challenges and difficult terrain, they are moving ahead with immense faith and positivity. CRPF personnel are providing all possible assistance to ensure that elderly and frail pilgrims can continue their journey safely and comfortably up to the holy cave shrine, he said. He said personnel deployed along the Baltal route are continuously assisting senior citizens at difficult stretches while medical teams, emergency response units and support staff remain available round the clock. As chants of Bam Bam Bhole and Har Har Mahadev echo through the mountains, the elderly pilgrims continue their sacred march proving that while the body may weaken with age, faith only grows stronger with time.

Uttar Pradeshs achievements in the residential rooftop solar sector have also been unprecedented. More than 2,148 MW of capacity has been installed in the state so far, and subsidies exceeding 5,500 crore have been transferred directly to consumers. More than 7,000 companies and vendors are working in this sector, and over 80,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities have been created. Residential rooftop solar systems in the state are generating approximately 96 lakh units of free electricity per day, with an estimated value of more than Rs 6 crore per day. In addition, this sector is generating a daily business turnover of more than 40 crore, while saving more than 9,000 acres of land, which is a significant achievement compared to large-scale land-based power projects. This success of Uttar Pradesh is the result of the collective efforts of aware consumers, solar vendors, UPNEDA, banking institutions, DISCOMs, and all stakeholders. The states rapid progress in the residential rooftop solar sector is not only promoting clean energy and energy self-reliance but is also making Uttar Pradesh the new leader of Indias residential rooftop solar revolution. After becoming the countrys number one state in monthly installations, Uttar Pradesh is now aiming to become Indias number one state in terms of total residential rooftop solar installations as well.
