Hindustan Samachar

Hindusthan Samachar is the first multilingual news agency in India subscribed by more than 200 newspapers and almost all the news channels including Doordarshan (DD). It was set up in 1948 by S. S. Apte,[1][2] offering its services in 10 languages: Bengali, Odia, Assamese, Telugu, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Hindi and Marathi. In 1951 the Government of Bihar subscribed to the Hindusthan Samachar, followed by many states in India. All India Radio and Radio Nepal were once subscribers. A year after a state of emergency was declared in India in 1975, Hindusthan Samachar was merged with Press Trust of India, United News of India and Samachar Bharati to form the media monopoly Samachar.
