About Jagran
The establishment of Dainik Jagran comes from the freedom struggle in year 1942. Dainik Jagran was launched during this time with the vision of our founder, the revolutionary freedom fighter, Late Shri Puran Chandra Gupta “Create a newspaper that would reflect the free voice of the people”. The tradition of truth that Shri Puran Chandra 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 modernization and building interaction between the newspaper and its readers. We at Dainik Jagran, introduce ourselves as the largest read daily of the Nation-20th time in a row- with a total readership of 5.64 crore (As per IRS Q-3) leaving behind the nearest competitor by a margin of 1.80 crore. At present we have our footprints in 11 states with 37 editions covering almost 50% of the population.
