OUR INSPIRATION
The guiding light behind Jagran Entertainment is the work done by the Late Shri Gurudev Gupta.
From humble beginnings, he was born in the town of Kalpi, Uttar Pradesh in 1920 and finished his education at M.S.V. College. He was inspired by the freedom movement that swept the nation and as a student; he began to work with the Revolutionary Party during the struggle for India’s independence from British rule. He knew the value of a strong press and ethical journalism in a time of strife, which was evident when he went on to co-found “Dainik Jagran” alongside his brothers, Late Shri P.C. Gupta and the Late Shri J. C. Arya in 1942 at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. The newspaper continued to grow from strength to strength, having local bureaus in Kanpur (1947), Rewa (1953) and Bhopal (1956) till it eventually became the household name in our country as of today, which covers current affairs and information across 11 states in India through 37 editions.
His desire to ensure India scales new heights grew beyond the editorial room, with an impact over social as well as political causes. Having been a well-regarded freedom fighter for the nation, he was an active member of Indian National Congress from 1938, working with various central and state government committees even pre-independence. He was an esteemed member of the Rajya Sabha from 1960 to 1966, as well as a second term from 1976 to 1982. He was a distinguished part of the President of India’s press team during the foreign tours of Sudan and Egypt.
Mr. Gurudev Gupta also took a keen interest and pride in the promotion and advancement of the Hindi language through books and journalism. This can be most noted in two titles that he penned and published, namely “Shrimati Indira Gandhi Ke Swaron Se Goonjte Africi Desh” & “Bharat Nehru Se Rajiv Tak” respectively. He was also a social activist, making notable contributions to the progress and development of Harijans, Scheduled tribes and backward classes throughout his lifetime.
Thus, it only seems fair that the body of work and life of Mr. Gurudev Gupta serves as the inspiration for Jagran Entertainment. He enshrined the values and principles that shall define our company for generations to come, and it is through his teachings and ethics that we strive to achieve success.
