Not Politics, Home Minister Amit Shah Wants To Do This After Retirement
"In front of us, there is a lot of work to be done on fertilisers. The cooperative sector should think about it. I have decided that whenever I retire, I will dedicate the rest of my life to Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming," Shah said. Highlighting the importance of natural farming, he added, "This natural farming has such a good scientific use that it gives so many benefits."
Further, the office of Amit Shah highlighted how the cooperative sector has helped many farmers sell their products in the market. He gave an example of how some farmers are selling camel milk, which he said has medicinal properties. "Miral Ben Rabari from Gujarat told Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji how farmers selling camel milk are profiting through cooperatives and how people are benefiting from the medicinal properties of camel milk," it said in a post on X.
Earlier, on the occasion of the fourth foundation day of the Ministry of Cooperation, a grand Sakhkar Samelan was organised in Anand, known as the Milk Capital of India, in the presence of Amit Shah and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. Inaugurating various development works of the world-renowned Amul Dairy, Shah called for expanding the cooperative movement nationwide based on the five Ps - People, PACS, Platform, Policy, and Prosperity, said a release from the Gujarat CMO.
Shah stated that the convergence of the fourth anniversary of the Ministry of Cooperation, the 60th anniversary of the National Dairy Development Board, and the 150th birth anniversary year of Sardar Patel has led to numerous initiatives in Anand through this cooperative conference. The Ministry of Cooperation has been working over the past four years on the foundation of the five Ps - People (service-oriented), PACS (strengthening Primary Agricultural Credit Societies), Platform (digital platform), Policy (new policies), and Prosperity (societal prosperity). Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the scope of cooperative activities has been expanding.

Indian government open to Pakistan participation in global sports events
Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has reaffirmed India's unwavering position on sporting relations with Pakistan, drawing a clear line between international tournaments and bilateral engagements. Speaking to media ahead of key upcoming events, the minister stressed that India has no issue competing against Pakistan in multi-nation events, but bilateral series are off the table due to long-standing geopolitical tensions. Global tournaments are fine, bilateral matches are not Mandaviya clarified that India will continue to face Pakistan in international competitions, where multiple countries participate. 'When it comes to global events, India is open to playing all nations, including Pakistan,' he said. However, he made it equally clear that bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan remain suspended. 'The government's position is well known, we do not support bilateral sports events with a country that promotes terrorism,' Mandaviya stated, underlining that national security remains the priority. India is set to host two major hockey events, the Asia Cup 2025 and the Junior Hockey World Cup, and Pakistan's participation has drawn attention. Mandaviya confirmed that India will issue visas to Pakistani teams for these multi-nation tournaments, should their government approve travel. 'We've told Pakistan that we have no objection to their participation and will issue visas. It is now up to their government to decide whether they want to send their teams,' he explained. The Hockey Asia Cup is scheduled from August 27 to September 7 in Rajgir, Bihar, serving as a qualifier for the 2026 Hockey World Cup in Amsterdam. The Junior World Cup is also set to take place in India later this year. India maintains open stance for multilateral events Mandaviya's remarks reaffirm India's consistent approach of supporting international sporting collaboration, but only within a multilateral context. While Indian athletes will share the field with Pakistani counterparts in global events, no standalone bilateral series are on the horizon until substantial changes occur in the geopolitical climate.
