History of DNj
The pre independence period from the point of view of fearlessness, without subjectivity, truthfulness & independent journalism was indeed. The Navajyoti heralded the age of renaissance in politico – socio- economic sphere in Rajputana. Imagine the hardships under which the journalists had to work & carry forward the flame of freedom. Reading a newspaper was sedition ‘Rajdroh’ in that era in Rajputana.
On 2nd October, 1936, the Rajasthan Sevak Mandal started the weekly ‘Navajyoti’. Shri Ram Narayan Chaudhary was its publisher. Right from the beginning, Durga Prasad Ji worked for Navajyoti. It was the only paper in Rajputana which exposed the tyrannical nature of feudal lords & which aroused the national emotions. From ‘Quit India Movement’ of 1942, the paper was suspended due to the repressive policy of the Government. When it is resumed publication in 1945 it faced the greatest ever financial crunches but from 1948 ‘Navajyoti’ became the daily newspaper from weekly. From 1960, & 1981 it started its publication from Jaipur & Kota respectively since then ‘Navajyoti’ id dedicated to truthful, fair & fearless writing.
