History

Samachar bharati began its operation in 1967 supported by the governments of Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka which held almost fifty per cent of its shares. Jayaprakash Narayan was its first Chairman. In 1973, it started an annual reference manual in Hindi called "Desh Aur Duniya". It also had a feature service "Bharati". On 26 July 1975, during the emergency period, the government of India took a decision to merge Samachar Bharti with Press Trust of India, United News of India and Hindustan Samachar to form a single nationalised news agency of India.[2] The employees' unions of the four agencies passed the resolutions accepting the idea of forming a single news entity.[3] Finally in February 1976, Samachar Bharati was merged along with other three agencies to form a nationalised news agency, Samachar.[4]
