Hindi Journalism Day 2025, observed on May 30, marks the founding of India’s first Hindi newspaper, Udant Martand, highlighting the vital role of Hindi journali
Hindi Journalism Day is celebrated annually on May 30 to honor the inception of India’s first Hindi newspaper, Udant Martand, which was launched on May 30, 1826. Founded by Pt. Jugal Kishor Shukla, this publication marked a significant milestone in the Indian media landscape by promoting vernacular language journalism. The day acknowledges the crucial role Hindi journalism plays in informing millions of citizens in their native language, reinforcing the media’s position as the fourth pillar of democracy in India.
The roots of Hindi journalism trace back nearly two centuries when English, Bengali, and Persian publications dominated the colonial press. Despite financial difficulties and limited reach, Udant Martand managed to publish 79 editions, breaking barriers for Hindi-language media. This pioneering effort paved the way for the growth of vernacular journalism, which has since become a powerful medium for mass communication, cultural expression, and social change throughout the country.
Hindi Journalism Day not only celebrates the rich history of Hindi media but also honors the dedication of countless journalists who strive to deliver accurate and timely news to non-English-speaking audiences across India. As the country’s vernacular press continues to expand, this day serves as a reminder of the importance of language diversity in media and the ongoing commitment to democratizing information for all citizens.
