The over six-decades-old news agency, which was established in New Delhi, has found its way back in this land-locked State after more than three decades following its launch in Arunachal in the year 1978.
Set up in 32 centres across the country, Hindustan Samachar is catering to information seekers in 14 languages, including Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Assamese, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujrati, Nepali, Sindhi, Kannad, Malayalam, Tamil and Telegu.
Rajiv Gandhi University Vice-Chancellor Prof KC Beliappa, who inaugurated the news agency by lighting the ceremonial lamp at an Itanagar-based hotel, said that with the revival of this news agency, the state will get a fillip in media sector.
Legislator Tani Loffa has said the print media, without being “capital-centric”, should enhance its reach to all areas.
