ZEE NEWS’: “AAPKA VOTE AAPKI TAQAT” |
Voter awareness campaign stimulates “Jazba Soch ka” to empower voters
In today’s era of sensationalism, Zee News has not forgotten its duty as the Fourth Estate of Democracy. Zee News’ mass media campaign on voter awareness is one of the most responsible initiatives launched by any media house in the country.
The journey of the nation’s biggest voter awareness campaign- Aapka Vote Aapki Taqat [AVAT]- began in Year 2009 with Lok Sabha Elections, Zee News started a campaign to make people realise the power of their vote. This splendid thought and initiative has been supported by The Election Commission of India for last four years. CEC also appreciated this noble initiative for its impact at large. The AVAT campaign has helped and supported EC India to fulfil its main agenda- increasing voter awareness on voting rights and participation of voters. Other, milestones were achieved by executing awareness campaign successfully in states assembly elections of
Maharashtra, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar & West Bengal.
Through this initiative our attempt is to educate and awaken people not just about their rights and duties but also the power of ONE Vote. Apka Vote…Aapki Taqat!!! Zee News with the help of various responsible partners – corporate and social organisations - has been successfully able to reach out to hundreds of cities and thousands of villages. Keeping in mind the different cultures and lifestyles across the country, it is indeed a massive task to make AVAT a success.
