Pune, Maharashtra  –  The grand ceremony of the State Level Navchetna Puraskar 2025, organised on the occasion of the 3^rd Anniversary of the Daily Aarambh Parv, was recently held at Shri Ganesh Garden Lawns and Banquet, Sinhagad Road, Nanded Phata, Pune.

Individuals and organisations who have made remarkable contribution in various social fields were felicitated at this event. Ms Kranti Petkar of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti was honoured with the ‘State Level Navchetna Puraskar’ on this occasion. The Puraskar was presented by Dr Sudhakarrao Jadhavar (Founder Director of Jadhavar Shikshan Sanstha and Founder President of Jadhavar Group of Institutes). Among those present were Mr Nanjibhai Thakkar (Senior social worker and President of NKT Group, Thane), Dr Vishwasrao Arote (State General Secretary of the Maharashtra State Journalists’ Association), Dr Sanjay Chordia (President of the Suryadatta Group of Institutes), Mrs Surekha Mate (Editor) and Mr Subhash Yadav (Renowned actor).

In his address, Dr Jadhavar remarked that in today’s times, there are very few Daily newspapers that powerfully represent the voice of the common people. In such a scenario, Aarambh Parv has made a distinct and lasting impression in a very short period. He extended heartfelt congratulations to the Daily and wished it continued success in its future endeavours.

A wish for continued progress was presented on behalf of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti to Mr Prateek Gangane (Managing Editor of the Daily Aarambh Parv).

Journalism is a revolution of social transformation : Nanjibhai Thakkar

“Journalism is not merely a matter of reporting news, it is a revolution of social transformation. Journalists study both the positive and negative developments in society and bring people’s concerns to the attention of the Government. Thus, journalists are the vigilant eyes of society, and their pen is sharper than a sword,” said Nanjibhai Thakkar, highlighting the reality of the challenging journey of journalism. Many newspaper editors, reporters, and YouTube influencers working in the field of journalism were honoured during the event.
