Navabharat Group

A solid foothold in journalism, with a conviction to transformthe nation into a ‘New India.’

Our Inspiration

Shri Ramgopal Maheshwari

When India’s struggle for Independence was paramount, every freedom fighter filled with rage, had an igniting passion for contributing in their own ways. Shri Ramgopal Maheshwari, a Gandhian at heart, a fearless journalist, and a flagbearer of Hindi language, was one of them whose vision of ‘NEW INDIA’ led to the launch of a Hindi newspaper in Nagpur called Navabharat on the 8th of Feb, 1934.

In his pursuit of civic, investigative journalism, he bravely and restlessly worked towards building a better society where people could identify Navabharat as a voice that unabashedly represents them, including their concerns and interests.
