    Media consulting firm Ormax Media has announced the launch of The Ormax Prime Minister & Chief Minister Approval Rating. Based on continuous nationwide tracking across 22 states and one Union Territory, the polling tool covers 275+ cities and towns in India, with a monthly sample size of 12,000+. The Ormax Approval Rating, notes a communique, will be a through-the-year poll to track the public perception of the nation’s leadership and underscores that the tracking is being done independently by Ormax Media, with no affiliations to any media organisations or political parties.

    Speaking on the launch of the Ormax Approval Ratings, Shailesh Kapoor, CEO, Ormax Media, said: “Approval Ratings are a norm in many democracies in the West, including the US. Hence, it is surprising to note that there has been no continuous tracking on the public perception of the political leadership in India all these years. After piloting this project for many months since mid-2018, we are now ready to roll out these ratings in the public domain. In a country with many political opinions and biases, including in the media, credibility and political neutrality are the cornerstones on which this poll has been conceptualised. We will not be sharing any ratings by religion, caste or any other such variable that can take the discourse around these ratings away from actual governance.”

     

    Approval Rating is a measure out of 100 (%) of the proportion of eligible voters who approve of the governance of the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister of their state.. As per the first Ormax PM Approval Rating report released, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Approval Rating jumped from 59 in early February 2020 to 68 at the end of June 2020. The sharpest growth was seen in the week when the PM addresses the nation twice on either side of the Janta Curfew, announcing the three-week lockdown on March 24 in the second address. The Approval Rating saw a further jump in the second half of June in the aftermath of the escalation at the Galwan Valley. His popularity is the highest in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Odisha and Goa, where he enjoys 71+ Approval Rating in June 2020.

     

     

    As per the track, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is by far the most popular Chief Minister across the 22 states covered currently with an Approval Rating of 78 in June 2020. Assam’s Sarbananda Sonowal and Kerala’s Pinarayi Vijayan rank second and third respectively.

    In its endeavour to felicitate business enterprises who have made their presence felt outside Odisha, Sambad Group honoured 14 deserving companies at a function recently.

     

    The ‘Brand of Odisha Pride of India — Corporate Excellence Awards’ were presented in five categories: Large, Medium, Small, PSU and Emerging. In each category, Platinum, Gold and Silver awards were given, except in Emerging category where only two were felicitated.

     

    Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik graced the occasion as chief guest alongside Sambad Group Chairman Soumya Ranjan Patnaik and Managing Director Monica Nayyar Patnaik.

     

    “The Brands of Odisha are truly the pride of India as the catch phrase of this event proposes. The men and their hard work behind the Brands are reflective of a dream to excel and to make their vision a reality. It is also reflective of an assertion of 21st century Odisha where people are ready to plunge into the world of business and create their own identity at national and global level,” the CM said.

     

    Added Sambad Group Chairman Soumya Ranjan Patnaik: “We are being accused of finding faults and critical of others through our newspaper. In a departure from this, we will felicitate the industries who have made Odisha proud.”

     

    Said Sambad Group Managing Director Monica Nayyar Patnaik:“We had received an overwhelming number of entries in all the categories. Jury members from top institutions like IIM and ITC were part of the tough selection process to instil credibility. We are happy to successfully organise first-of-its-kind award in the state.”
