Every year on 30 May, Hindi Journalism Day (Hindi Patrakarita Diwas) is celebrated.
This day is dedicated to the special contribution of Hindi journalists who work for public welfare with full of truth and courage.
On May 30, 1826, Pt. Jugal Kishore Shukla launched the first Hindi newspaper, “Udant Martand,” which marked the beginning of the journey of Hindi journalism.
Udant Martand was published in Calcutta.
During British rule, the Hindi publication of Udant Martand proved to be a milestone in the history of Indian journalism.
In the Udant Martand era, the number of important publications increased and the number of journalists in this field also increased.
