| dc.description.abstract | Dainik Jagran has been in the newspaper business since 1942. It was successfully established as a leading Hindi newspaper in India. In Uttar Pradesh, one in every two readers read Dainik Jagran. It is enjoying 3rd position in the states of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the union territory of Chandigarh. It leads by a considerable margin in Eastern and Central Uttar Pradesh. However, in Western Uttar Pradesh, Amar Ujala is the established leader.
