Co-operative sector in Rajasthan

Rajasthan, as we all know, is a land of culture and heritage.Every part of this state tells a different tradition.Like Panchayatiraj,co-operatives are also have quality institutions and small units working in rural areas.I as a Co-op.bank MD,started NAREGA payments through MINI BANKS  in Dungarpur district on 1st April 2007. Primarily it was a difficult task for me but things settled quite nicely.Now under the leadership of our Principal Secretary Mr.R.K.Meena and Registrar Mr.Mukesh Sharma co-operative sector is doing some exceptional works.Super markets, Mini super markets in villages,Women co-operatives,Mini Banks,quality lending in CCBanks and Primary Land Dev.Banks,action plan for every co-operatives are some of the examples of co-operatives in Rajasthan.To improve PDS in the state,co-operative sector is gearing up for taking the responsibility in rural areas.Rajasthan is the only state where Co-operative fairs are being organised at district,zonal, state and national level.In these fairs all types of co-operative societies displays and sell their quality products.Special 'Masala Mela' are also one of the feature of these 'Sahakar Mela.'

Almost every co-operative society including Coop.Banks PLDB's,Consumer and Marketing societies,Lamps and Pacs have their elected boards.Its a big achievement of this government.Recently,govt amended the rules to implement the recommendations of 'Vaidhyanathan Package'for short term lending institutions.State govt.is trying to provide autonomy for every institution.Soon Rajasthan will be known for its co-operatives and their contribution to the general masses.

CHILDREN'S DAY

Children are god's greatest gift to mankind.Their pure innocence,pristine thoughts and bubbling enthusiasm lend a unique flavour to life.The wondrous eyes of a child perceive with crystal clear honesty the myriad hues of nature and its bounties.To a child,the world is pure magic.Each day to a child unfolds a new secret, a new joy which the child rushes to embrace with outstretched arms.

The Universal Children's Day,celebrated on 14th November every year,is an occasion to renew our commitment to the cause of children and re-dedicate ourselves to fufilling their basic needs and rights.The day also coincides with the birthday of India's first Prime Minister,Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,fondly called'Chacha Nehru' by children.

Music a real and live medicine

I'm very fond of classical and old hindi film songs.Classics like Zakir Hussain's Tabla,Hari Prasad Chourasiya's Flute.Pandit Ravi shanker's Sitar, are our assets and rich source of peace.Old hindi films and their music are still a choice of millions across the country and abroad.I think music is the best medicine of stress and strain.Just try and feel.I like singing songs of great Hemant Kumar. I think whenever you feel down think of good music.
