A journalist acts as a vigilant watchdog\u2014observing every development, highlighting social issues, and bringing truth before the public as well as the authorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This platform was originally founded and nurtured by my father SUBHASH KAKKAR with a clear vision of promoting honest, fearless, and ground-level journalism. His dedication and commitment laid a strong foundation, establishing this portal as a voice of truth and public interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Today, I am honored to carry forward his legacy with a deep sense of responsibility and renewed commitment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">With a rich legacy of over 35 years in journalism, my father worked with several prestigious vernacular and English newspapers, including Veer Partap, Desh Sewak, Spokesman, Dainik Jagran, and Daily Post. Throughout his career, he extensively covered crime, social issues, and injustices faced by common people, especially the underprivileged sections of society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In the present time, honest journalism has become increasingly challenging. The influence of power and pressure often creates barriers in presenting the ground reality. Despite these challenges, we strongly believe that fearless, ethical, and responsible journalism is essential for a healthy and functioning democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Through this platform, our mission is:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>To present truthful, unbiased, and fearless reporting<\/li>\n<li>To highlight social evils, injustice, and real ground situations<\/li>\n<li>To give a voice to the unheard and underprivileged<\/li>\n<li>To provide a platform for young and aspiring journalists and writers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We are committed to encouraging new talent by offering them an opportunity to express their views and share their work without any financial burden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Our aim is not only to report news but also to create awareness, inspire positive change, and uphold the true spirit of journalism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We remain dedicated to truth, integrity, and public service.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1732&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This portal was originally established by my father SUBHASH KAKKAR with a vision to promote honest and fearless journalism. Due to financial constraints at that time, it was not possible to expand it further. However, with the rapid growth of the internet, which has now become a powerful and widely used medium\u2014especially among the younger generation\u2014I have taken the responsibility to carry forward his vision and develop this platform further.<\/p>\n<p>Today, people increasingly rely on digital platforms to access news and information. Taking this opportunity forward, I feel proud to continue and manage our news and information portal:<\/p>\n<p>CITIZENZ VOICE (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.citizenzvoice.com\/\">www.citizenzvoice.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This platform is dedicated to providing timely and reliable coverage of local, state, and national news, along with current events and important happenings around us.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it aims to serve as a meaningful platform for newcomers in the field of journalism, offering them opportunities to work as writers and correspondents without barriers.
