Banda Press Trust (BPT), registered under the Indian Trust Act, 1882, stands committed to the dignity, protection, and empowerment of working journalists. Our mission is rooted in fearless journalism, democratic values, and the constitutional spirit of freedom of speech and expression.

In an era where independent journalism faces growing challenges, BPT aims to become a strong and credible voice for journalists, especially those working at the grassroots level. We believe that a free press is the foundation of a healthy democracy, and journalists must be able to work without fear, pressure, or discrimination.

The Trust is dedicated to promoting ethical journalism, protecting press freedom, supporting journalists’ rights, and creating platforms for dialogue, awareness, and professional development. We also stand for advocacy on issues concerning journalists’ welfare, security, and social respect.

BPT believes that journalism is not merely a profession but a public responsibility toward truth, justice, and society. Through collective efforts, we aspire to strengthen democratic values and ensure that every journalist’s voice is heard with dignity and courage.

We invite journalists, intellectuals, social organizations, and citizens to join hands in supporting independent and responsible journalism for a stronger and more aware society.
