History

Hindusthan Samachar was founded in 1948 by S. S. Apte, [1] [2] offering its services in 10 languages: Bengali, Odia, Assamese, Telugu, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Hindi and Marathi. In 1951, the Government of Bihar subscribed to Hindusthan Samachar, followed by many states in India. All India Radio and Radio Nepal were once subscribers. It was registered as a cooperative society in 1956. [3]

A year after a state of emergency was declared in India in 1975, Hindusthan Samachar was merged with Press Trust of India, United News of India and Samachar Bharati to form the media monopoly Samachar.

Hindusthan Samachar was relaunched by Shrikant Joshi after 1999. [3]

Present

At present, Hindusthan Samachar has 22 news bureaus and 600 correspondents spread across the country. It offers its services in 12 languages. [3]
