Need of
Garhwal Post
The daily Garhwal Post has added
a substantial new dimension to
the style of journalism that the
weekly Garhwal Post represented
for over a decade. It belongs to
a region that has suffered
neglect in various ways. The
creation of a separate state was
an acknowledgement of these
difficulties. As such, apart
from functioning as a vehicle
for news, Garhwal Post has the
responsibility of helping create
an environment that leads to
development, employment
generation and social awareness.
As a regional newspaper of
considerable influence it is
playing its role in combating
the backwardness of the
Uttarakhand Himalayas.
Targeting new generation
It is fast expanding its
footprint across a growing
readership, particularly of
young people. It is truly on the
way to becoming the newspaper
'For Tomorrow's People'.
