- IFWJ will be celebrating the 72nd foundation day 28th Oct 21
Indian federation of working journalist general secretary Mr Parmanand Pandey inform to all members of federation and all journalists thatO n the coming 28th of October, we will be celebrating the 72nd Foundation Day of the Indian Federation of Working Journalists (IFWJ). It was on this day that our great organisation came into existence in 1950 at Jantar Mantar of New Delhi. This was the first organisation of working journalists in the country. It was due to the inspiration and the motivation of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, who was also the first Information and Broadcasting Minister of Independent India, that the IFWJ was founded as it has been recalled in the famous books - ‘Journalism and Politics’ and ‘The Press’ – of celebrated journalist, Manikonda Chalapathi Rau (popularly known as the MC). Incidentally, he was the founder President of the IFWJ. He gave shape to the Working Journalists Act and was instrumental in making the most valuable suggestions in the First Press Commission.
