About Pratidin Media Network

About Us

Welcome to Pratidin Media Network, where tradition meets innovation, and storytelling transcends borders. With a proud legacy spanning over 35 years, we have been the torchbearer of Assamese culture, language, and identity, connecting communities and amplifying voices since our inception in 1989.

Our journey began in 1989 with Sadin, our inaugural project, a trailblazing weekly newspaper, available online with a substantial subscription base. A source of immense pride for us is Asomiya Pratidin, the sole Assamese newspaper boasting four editions across Assam, concurrently published from Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Bongaigaon, and North Lakhimpur. Its widespread popularity in Assam and the Northeast garnered recognition in the LIMCA BOOK OF RECORDS – 2008, where it was hailed as one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the region, standing alongside esteemed publications such as Dainik Bhaskar and Ananda Bazar Patrika.

With a significant digital audience and robust subscription along with circulation figures, our Pratidin media network has established a formidable presence across the Northeastern region and beyond. As we continue to expand our reach, our aspirations know no bounds.
