Namaskar and Greetings,

The Annual Day of the Samadrusti Media Fraternity along with this year’s Ashok Babbo Memorial Lecture will take place on January 25 (Saturday), 2025 at Lohia Academy. The Exhibition and other activities will begin at 3 PM and the meeting will take place at 5 PM.

As you are already aware Samadrusti runs with the support of its readers, writers and genuine individual well-wishers. We would request you to please be with us and encourage the Team. Samadrusti needs you and your support. We sincerely hope you share our concern that non-corporate media should and must survive and expand at the time when the media space has been almost entirely occupied by corporate media. Social media is also part of a corporate strategy to occupy alternative space.

Our sales and subscriptions can’t even meet the print cost of our magazine. Meeting the production cost offers us a huge challenge. We are also involved in multiple essential activities. We are grateful to those respected and dear friends who have stood very firmly with us in the past and who continue to be there with us. We hope the support and solidarity group will also expand with your initiatives.

Please join us in the afternoon of January 25, 2025 at Lohia Academy, Bhubaneswar.

With warm regards

Sudhir Pattnaik and Bighneswar Sahu
