Zee 24 Taas to telecast सहकार परिषद on 17 June 2023; will emphasize on ‘Harnessing the Power of Co-Operation’
Mumbai: The co-operative movement and the need for improvisation in policies for boosting socio-economic growth is now the talk of the town. As it has been one of the most effective movements across the state of Maharashtra, Zee 24 Taas plans to draw the attention of its viewers to how cooperative societies have contributed significantly towards the economic development of the nation.
Sahkar Parishad (सहकार परिषद), a one-of-its-kind IP of Zee Taas, is scheduled to go on air on Saturday, 17 June 2023 at 4 pm. This special screening will majorly focus on ‘Harnessing the Power of Co-operation’ – comprising the on-ground reality of Co-Operative Dairy, Co-operative Farming Agriculture & Animal Husbandry, Sugar Industry, Banking, and Rural Credit and Co-operative Housing Societies.
Maharashtra has been one of the pioneer states in initiating an impactful cooperative movement, which is now existent across the agricultural sector, agro-processing industry, agro-marketing, sugar cooperatives, fisheries cooperative societies, cooperative dairy societies, housing societies, etc. However, there have been multiple factors that hamper the smooth functioning and improving their credibility is the need of the hour.
Congratulating the Zee24 Taas team on this initiative, chief guest and keynote speaker – member of Rajya Sabha & former CM of Maharashtra Sharad Pawar said, “Firstly, I would like to congratulate Zee 24 Taas for making सहकार परिषद a reality. This platform will soon become a future-prominent platform for policymakers, and the brightest minds across the cooperative sectors to have a dialogue on broader governance and discuss the possible solutions to the challenges existing in the system. Cooperation should increase and be sustained for the development of the state.”
Encourage the audience to watch the Sahkar Parishad ceremony on their screens. Zee 24 Taas editor Dr. Nilesh Khare said, “The cooperative movement has contributed significantly to the development of rural Maharashtra. There is also a high potential for public-private partnerships, and collaborations to promote innovation and also bring to light the challenges faced by the cooperative systems across the nation. Sahkar Parishad will surely be an eye-opener to the citizens of India towards the interception of governance and improvisation of policies and credibility not only in the state of Maharashtra but also in India.”
ZMCL CEO Abhay Ojha further added, “Zee Media strongly believes in providing content which allows viewers to have an in-depth understanding of factors that have a huge impact on their lives. We created Sahkar Parishad to help citizens understand the diversification of partnerships with governments, businesses, and other organizations. The success of the inaugural edition of Sahkar Parishad further encourages us to expand such initiatives to other regions of India soon.”

WITT Summit 2026 concludes in New Delhi
Babar Azam’s comical diving attempt goes viral as league introduces anti-dew measures.
MUMBAI: The WITT Summit just wrapped up with enough big ideas to fill a policy playbook because when India’s leaders, thinkers and icons gather under one roof, even the conversations hit sixes. The eighth edition of TV9 Network’s flagship What India Thinks Today (WITT) Summit 2026 concluded on Saturday after two days of dynamic discussions at its New Delhi venue. India’s largest multi-domain public policy and culture summit brought together political leaders, policymakers, sports icons, artists and technology innovators to examine the forces shaping contemporary India and its global standing.
Prime minister Narendra Modi delivered the keynote address on the theme “India and the World” for the third consecutive year. In a wide-ranging speech, he addressed the ongoing conflict in West Asia, calling for restraint and compassion while highlighting India’s continued development trajectory despite global turmoil.
The summit featured candid conversations with state leaders. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy articulated a people-first governance model and contrasted it with other development approaches. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared that Left-wing extremism had been effectively eliminated in his state and highlighted preparations for the upcoming Kumbh Mela. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann defended his government’s record, citing the closure of 19 toll plazas and creation of the Sadak Suraksha Force. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar expressed confidence in Congress prospects in Assam and addressed recent allegations against him.
On geopolitics and national security, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia outlined India’s ambition to become a builder of trusted digital infrastructure for the world, citing the rapid 5G rollout and village-level 4G connectivity.
Cricket received significant attention. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly praised player freedom and trust as hallmarks of great leadership and named MS Dhoni as the greatest captain due to his World Cup successes. India women’s team bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi credited the BCCI and Women’s Premier League for building a pipeline of world-class talent behind the team’s recent ODI World Cup triumph.
The summit also hosted the inaugural AI² Awards 2026, celebrating the convergence of human creativity and machine intelligence in storytelling and content creation. Poet and kathavachak Kumar Vishwas delivered a nuanced take on India’s concept of Dharma and criticised the recent arrest of an 80-year-old Shankaracharya. Veteran lyricist Sameer Anjaan and storyteller Neelesh Misra reflected on changing music trends and artistic responsibility in the wake of a recent controversy involving Nora Fatehi.
In a country where conversations often run as deep as the Ganges, the WITT Summit proved once again that when leaders, thinkers and storytellers come together, the real winner is public discourse lively, layered and refreshingly unafraid to tackle the big questions shaping India’s tomorrow.
