Lakh To Throng Tajbagh On Chhabisi Of Sufi Saint During Shahi Sandal
The grand sandal will kick off from another saint Mohammad Hussain's dargah close to Tajbagh. It will merge with the Darbari Shahi Sandal at 10am before going past several important points touched by Baba Tajuddin during the procession taken out by him in his lifetime. Starting from the shrine, the procession will pass through Ashok Square and reach Teen Naal Chowk, where it will be welcomed by Baba's followers.
More than two lakh devotees are likely to take part in the day-long procession, while another two lakh will stay back at the dargah.
The procession will include several bands, street performers, buggies, horses, and qawwals singing and expressing their devotion for Baba Tajuddin, who is regarded as one of the most important mystics of South Asia. Community feasts at different places will also be held by Baba's followers.
On Sunday night, city MP and Union minister Nitin Gadkari paid obeisance at the dargah along with Hazrat Baba Tajuddin Trust chairman Pyare Khan and secretary Taj Ahmed.

Gadkari said, "This is Baba's place, and no wrongdoing should occur here. It is not just a place but a symbol of respect and reverence for Baba. Therefore, its progress is our responsibility. Under the leadership of Pyare Khan, many significant and essential tasks have been accomplished here.
He completed every task with honesty and dedication to maintain the glory of Baba's place and ensure better facilities for every devotee who visits."
The Lok Sabha MP added that the govt has also initiated several important schemes for the development of this place and completed major projects. "Whether it is road construction, cleanliness efforts, or lighting arrangements, work has been done at every level to provide convenience to those who visit Baba's court. I want to clearly state that if anyone engages in dishonesty or tries to cause any disturbance in Baba's work, I will not spare them.
Baba's premises are a place of worship, and they demand honesty and pure intentions. There should be no negligence or carelessness in Baba's work. It is our collective duty to make this place even better and ensure its sanctity is preserved," he said.

Govt unveils cooperative policy to boost sector with 500 mn members
The Centre today unveiled a new National Cooperative Policy, the first since 2002, that calls for creating a task force to include 500 million people within the ambit of cooperatives, up from the current 300 million, and ensuring autonomous functioning and democratic member control of cooperatives. The policy, which seeks to enhance the sector's contribution to the Indian economy by three times in the next 10 years, also calls for raising the number of cooperative societies by 30 per cent from the current 830,000. Releasing the policy, Union Minister for Cooperatives Amit Shah said that one major objective of the policy is to ensure that every village should have at least one functional cooperative, while each tehsil in the country should have at least five model cooperative villages. The policy has also called for ensuring free and fair elections for the Board of Directors and office bearers of cooperatives. Though there is no direct statistic on the share of cooperatives in India's total GDP, sector-wise data shows that cooperatives account for around 14 per cent of total agricultural credit, 25 per cent of fertiliser production, and 31 per cent of sugar production as of 2016-17. They also hold an 85 per cent share in liquid milk distribution and around 15 per cent of total storage available. The implementation of the policy, which was framed by a panel of experts chaired by former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu, will be monitored at the national level by a two-tier mechanism chaired by Cooperative Minister Amit Shah. Among other recommendations, the National Policy seeks to encourage branding of all organic, agricultural, and dairy products under the aegis of the 'Bharat' Brand as an umbrella brand, while also leveraging the established brands of the states. It also calls for setting up a 'Cooperative Stack' for data-driven decision-making and enhanced service delivery. The policy urges Primary Agriculture Cooperative Societies (PACS) to work as 'Bank Mitra' of District Cooperative Banks to provide banking products and services to members at their doorsteps. Revamping cooperative credit system A) Form a task force to holistically examine the challenges faced by cooperative credit institutions and suggest measures to address them. B) Infuse democratic, transparent, and data-driven decision-making in cooperatives. C) Promote the production of pulses, oilseeds, and maize through farmer members of primary cooperatives. D) Promote exports of cooperative sector products to international markets.

PIL filed to bring Sarasvati Mahal Library under national mission
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday ordered notice to the Centre and the State government on a public interest litigation petition that sought the direction to classify the Sarasvati Mahal Library in Thanjavur as a Model Library under the National Mission on Libraries. A Division Bench of Justices S.M. Subramaniam and A.D. Maria Clete ordered notice to the authorities concerned while hearing the petition filed by B. Prabhakaran of Chennai. He said that the 500-year-old library holds immense historical, socio-cultural, and academic significance. The petitioner said the library, also known as Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji's Sarasvati Mahal Library, was one of the oldest surviving libraries in Asia, established in the 16th century during the reign of the Nayak kings of Thanjavur. It was enriched by Maratha rulers, notably King Serfoji II, who was an eminent scholar and polyglot, he said. However, the library, a historic repository of ancient knowledge, was languishing in a state of alarming neglect. Despite its rich legacy, the functioning of the library was severely affected by staff shortage, he said. He said the library was languishing under severe administrative neglect, acute staff shortage, unimplemented digitisation programmes, and lack of preservation efforts by the government, leading to loss of valuable books and journals. Effective steps have not been taken to ensure the preservation or proper management of the library's invaluable records. Sarasvati Mahal Library falls well within the purview of the National Mission on Libraries which was established under the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry of Culture exercises administrative supervision over several premier libraries, he said. The petitioner said he had made a representation to the authorities concerned in this regard. However, the officials had not yet taken action. He sought a direction to the Centre and the State government to classify the library as a Model Library under the National Mission on Libraries and to take steps towards digitisation, conservation, and implement development schemes administered by the Ministry of Culture by sanctioning requisite grants-in-aid to undertake restoration measures and infrastructure upgrade within a time limit. The court adjourned the hearing by two weeks.
