Rajendra Kumar Baid, started
Janpath Samachar in 1982. For
the promotion of Hindi Language
and to provide an independent
voice to the people of Siliguri
and entire North Bengal and
Sikkim. This paper has provided
quality journalism to the people
and mounted campaigns - without
fear and unmindful of threats of
dire consequences - against all
that is wrong. Many a scandal
was exposed, the wrong - doers
were punished and crime reduced.
Janpath Samachar
continues to be
the fearless voice of the people
of this region.
The seed of Janpath Samachar was
laid in 1976 when Rajendra Kumar
Baid started a fortnightly
journal Siliguri Samachar. A
young man from a business family
stepped into the tumultuous
field of journalism. He was
doing the unthinkable by opening
a Hindi daily newspaper in a
Non-Hindi speaking region.
Crossing many insurmountable
barriers, he was able to create
a market for a Hindi daily
newspaper in this region. Today,
it has evolved into the most
popular Hindi daily in the
region.
Janpath Samachar
has played an
important role in popularizing
Hindi, our national language in
this region. Due to high quality
and in - depth analysis of news
and incidents, it not only
gained popularity amongst the
Hindi speaking Marwari and
Bihari community of this region
but also became popular amongst
linguistic groups like Nepalis
and Bengalis.
