Zee 24 Kalak, Gujarat’s most credible and fearless news channel, has once again proven the transformative power of investigative journalism. By exposing corruption, holding authorities accountable, and amplifying the voices of the unheard, the channel has driven systemic reforms, ensuring transparency and justice for the people of Gujarat.
In a groundbreaking investigation, Zee 24 Kalak uncovered a major Right to Education (RTE) admission scam in Surat, where several applicants manipulated income documents to secure illegal admissions—depriving deserving students of their rightful opportunities.
The channel’s hard-hitting exposé forced the education department to take immediate action, leading to:
Revocation of fraudulent admissions
Filing of police cases against offenders
Implementation of stricter verification protocols
The impact was immediate—RTE applications dropped from 25,000 to 12,000 in just a year, signaling a decisive step towards a more transparent and accountable education system.
Zee 24 Kalak also played a key role in addressing school timing adjustments during Ramadan in Vadodara. A municipal circular had granted special exemptions to minority students, sparking demands for equal consideration during Hindu festivals.
The channel’s extensive coverage led to a special review meeting, resulting in the revocation of all previous circulars—ensuring uniform policies for all students. This intervention reinforced the principle of equal treatment in education, underscoring the power of responsible journalism in shaping fair governance.
Beyond Gujarat, Zee 24 Kalak has taken a national stand in the case of Amit Gupta, a Vadodara-based engineer detained in Qatar since January 1, 2025, under unclear circumstances. Gupta, a former Tech Mahindra executive turned Country Head, has allegedly been held in confinement without any communication with his family.
Zee 24 Kalak’s relentless coverage has shed national light on the case, pushing for diplomatic intervention and reaffirming the channel’s commitment to journalism that drives real impact.
Speaking about the channel’s impactful reporting, Dixitkumar Jagdishchandra Soni, Editor of Zee 24 Kalak, stated, “Fearless journalism is the foundation of an informed society. At Zee 24 Kalak, we take this responsibility seriously—whether it’s exposing corruption, amplifying the voices of the unheard, or demanding action where it’s needed. We remain committed to truth, transparency, and transformation.”
Karan Abhishek Singh, CEO of Zee Media Corporation Limited, further emphasized, “Zee 24 Kalak embodies Zee Media’s core mission—to inform, empower, and drive change. Through fearless investigative journalism, the channel has not only exposed injustices but also set new standards for regional news. Its relentless pursuit of truth continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people across Gujarat.”
With its bold and uncompromising journalism, Zee 24 Kalak is redefining regional news reporting, ensuring transparency, accountability, and justice for Gujarat.
