The important role of the print media, particularly newspapers, in nurturing democracy is universally acknowledged. Newspapers play a key role in projecting and analysing social issues and thereby play a major role in social development. The print media in India has an illustrious history, and it continues to play a vital role in keeping the public informed and engaged with issues that concern them. We, as a body facilitating the registration of periodicals in the country, are partners in the history as well as the present development of India.
