Zee Bihar Jharkhand launches new show ‘System ka Reality Check’
Mumbai: Zee Bihar Jharkhand has launched a new news show ‘System ka Reality Check’.
Backed by the expertise of Zee Media’s news representatives across the state, the new series is an attempt to keep a close eye on the overall operations – health system, governance, ensure factual information reaches the audience and eliminate the social evils from the society.
This show is being aired at 2 pm every day and has grabbed the attention of the viewers and the concerned authorities, who were compelled to take corrective measures post the channels’ coverage.
With an aim to address social concerns, Zee Bihar Jharkhand has conducted the first series of reality check of the health systems by investigating the overall robust operations of the systems, which also includes exposing the reality of individual government hospitals across the Bihar- Jharkhand State. Cleanliness issues, lack of medical facilities, scarcity and timely availability of free medicines, resource crunch of doctors and nurses, disrespectful behaviour of the hospital staff, shortage or no rooms available in respective wards, patients put being put on stretchers in the corridors etc are some of the biggest challenges faced by the health infrastructure across different districts of the Bihar-Jharkhand state.
Till date, the Zee Bihar Jharkhand team has conducted a surprise check across hospitals, which also include Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH), Sardar Hospital etc.
Zee Bihar Jharkhand’s health system reality check campaign has begun to yield transforming results, bringing to light the sluggishness prevailing in the government system of Bihar. Strict actions and quick decisions are being taken to improve the system by the concerned officials.
Bihar health minister Tejashwi Yadav lauded the campaign of Zee Bihar-Jharkhand and said, “I appreciate the efforts being taken by the Zee Bihar-Jharkhand team, as it has helped to get an in-depth understanding of ground reality and shortcomings and challenges faced by the population in Bihar-Jharkhand. We look forward to strengthening the health infrastructure across different districts. Discussions on beneficial health policies and facilities will also be taken care of.”
Additionally, IMA president Sahajanand praised the initiative and assured to address the problems of the state.
Commenting on the continuous success of the campaign, Zee Bihar Jharkhand CEO Purushottam Vaishnav said, “Zee Bihar Jharkhand feels socially responsible to expose the facts and challenges faced by different sections of the economy, thus impacting the well-being of the common man. Besides the health system, we also look to simultaneously discuss and expose the reality of about every section in the upcoming months.”
“Zee Bihar Jharkhand channel is not only hopeful, but firmly believes in ensuring the right information is exposed to the vast population of Bihar-Jharkhand state. We will continue exposing those showing indifference towards their duties and not performing it sincerely,” highlighted Zee Bihar Jharkhand editor Rajkamal Choudhary.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
