Dainik Jagran newspaper

Dainik Jagran is a prominent Hindi-language daily newspaper in India, widely recognized as one of the largest read newspapers in the world by circulation. It was launched in 1942 during the Indian independence movement by Puranchand Gupta in Jhansi. The publication was founded with the intent of voicing nationalist sentiments and has since grown into a massive media conglomerate.

The newspaper is published and manufactured locally across multiple printing centers throughout India to ensure timely distribution across various states. It is owned by Jagran Prakashan Limited, a major Indian media house listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India. The company continues to be headquartered in Kanpur, India, and remains under the leadership and majority ownership of the Gupta family, maintaining its status as an indigenous Indian brand.
