History
Dainik Jagran was founded in 1942. The year when the freedom struggle of India reached its crescendo and found expression in the “Quit India movement”. Dainik Jagran was launched with the vision of its founder, the late Puran Chand Gupta, to “Create a newspaper that would reflect the free voice of the people.” This vision was as much a reflection of the time when it was propounded as much as it is relevant to us today. Even as on today, when Dainik Jagran markets control the political destiny of the largest democracy in the world, the vision continues to guide us.
The tradition of truth that Puran Chand Gupta heralded was carried forward by literary stalwarts like Shri Narendra Mohan. Apart from strengthening Jagran’s editorial stance, he embarked on a drive towards modernising and building interaction between the paper and its readers.
In June 2005, Dainik Jagran entered into a strategic alliance and partnership with Independent News and Media Plc. The company shortly after went public in 2006.
