Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has been voicing his concerns over how the media has been manipulated and kept under 'clutches' by the union government stressing that an impartial media is the need of the hour to save democracy. Interestingly, addressing a gathering at Lakhasar in Bikaner, Chief Minister, who rarely takes names of people or institutions, commended First India News for carrying out government's people centric policies to the grassroot level and giving them ample coverage.


Stressing that First India covers Chief Minister in a better way than other regional channels, Gehlot said, "While local channels carry my news to some degree, First India News covers news related to me (as Chief Minister) without fail. The would show me more (out of other channels)."




There is good news for the people of Rajasthan: its topmost regional news channel First India News has now gone digital.

The highly reliable news broadcaster has a reputation for bringing original news content from all nooks and corners of the state and nation from trusted sources.

For the past many years, First India News Channel, representing the vibrant, progressive state of Rajasthan, is said to be the voice of the people of Rajasthan through its printed version. Known for its tradition of invariably being the first to break the news and lead the news in the entire regional media, First India News is totally in tune with its tagline, "'Sabse Aage, Sabse Pahle.' The news channel has made a grand entry into electronic journalism in India.

Keeping an eye on the next-gen internet news readers, the media house wants to cash in on the rapid boom in the rising digital journalism scene. Maintaining the vision of its traditional journalistic landscape, First News provides interesting, reliable content and real-time news & analysis on its digital platform also.

The Digital unit of First India has been able to achieve new heights. It has performed its duty of furnishing correct and credible information to the masses via the Digital platform. With millions of followers on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube subscribers in a short span, First India is now ruling the internet and has left an indelible mark on its viewers- that has a surprisingly wide demographic range.

The credit for the ongoing popularity of First India news in its regional avatar goes to the turnaround man JAGDEESH CHANDRA (ex-CEO Zee network). Under his leadership, FIRST INDIA NEWS that was launched with world-class technology in India in 2013, reached new heights as soon as Chandra took over in April 2018 in Rajasthan.

Chandra, CMD, fondly recollects," The channel was a mere five-year-old child when I took over and was completely non-existent in the segment. The challenge was to make it stand out among other competitive state and national channels. Presently, we are running the No.1 News channel of Rajasthan (regional news channel -Tata Sky 1182, Airtel 361) and one daily English Newspaper in the name and style of 'First India' from Jaipur, which has four editions, namely, New Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad."
