"Whenever I retire, will dedicate rest of my life to Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming": Amit Shah
Shah made these remarks at the 'Sahkar Samvaad,' held in Delhi with women from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other workers associated with the cooperative sector.
'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. (ANI)

As Marans explore amicable settlement with Stalin's intervention, Dayanidhi's allegations to get a silent burial
CHENNAI: Chennai Central DMK MP and former Union minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran who owns the Sun media empire have initiated the process to amicably settle the dispute, based on the advice and intervention of their uncle and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, sources said. The dispute between the brothers came out in the open last month, with Dayanidhi issuing a legal notice to his brother and seven others on June 10 with grave allegations, accusing Kalanithi of appropriating the full control of the company through fraudulent and illegal means during the demise of their father and former Union Minister Murasoli Maran in 2003. In a nutshell, Dayanidhi had alleged that Kalanithi, who was merely an employee and not a shareholder of the company until their father's demise, took full control of the group, thereby denying rightful share to the other legal heirs, which included himself, his mother Mallika Maran and sister Anbukkarasi. According to sources, DMK president Stalin did not want the high profile dispute to play out in the public or in the courts, especially with the assembly elections less than a year away. TNIE has learnt that the Chief Minister intervened earlier as well, but there was no breakthrough, following which Dayanidhi sent the legal notice on June 10. Their sister Anbukkarasi was also part of the recent efforts to arrive at a solution, sources said. A well-known media personality with distant family ties with Marans was also reportedly involved in the mediation process between the two brothers. Although the settlement is yet to be formalised, sources said that the agreement involved Kalanithi paying Dayanidhi several hundred crores, but not any shareholding in the Sun TV Private Limited, the parent company of the group. It is noteworthy that Dayanidhi's legal notice highlighted Kalanithi already paying Rs 500 crore to his sister Anbukkarasi 'towards part of a settlement and initial payment'. The notice said this happened after Dayanidhi's earlier legal notice sent on October 7, 2024, for which Kalanithi 'issued a vague reply'. 'This settlement and initial payment clearly demonstrate your (Kalanithi) attempt to evade repercussions for the fraudulent activities you committed and to conceal your criminal actions,' it had said.
