What Is Nawan Zamana?
Nawan Zamana is a Punjabi-language daily newspaper published from Jalandhar, in Punjab's Doaba region. Its lineage traces back to 1952, when the Communist Party of India launched the Jalandhar-based Urdu weekly Naya Zamana; as Urdu readership declined in Punjab after Partition, the paper was relaunched in Punjabi as the daily Nawan Zamana — making it one of the longer-running Punjabi dailies still in print today. It is published by the Arjan Singh Gargaj Foundation and has long carried a progressive, left-of-centre editorial voice alongside its general Punjab news coverage; veteran journalist and former Rajya Sabha MP Jagjit Singh Anand served as its Chief Editor for close to 50 years, until his death in 2015.
For advertisers, Nawan Zamana offers something distinct from Punjab's larger commercial dailies: a loyal, long-standing Punjabi (Gurmukhi-script) readership concentrated in Jalandhar and extending across the Doaba belt — Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala and neighbouring towns with one of Punjab's highest concentrations of NRI families — and into the Malwa belt through Ludhiana, Bathinda and Moga. This combination makes it relevant for community matrimonial and property advertisers targeting NRI households, as well as local recruitment, obituary and public notice categories.

💡 Doaba NRI tip: Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and Kapurthala send more emigrants abroad per capita than almost anywhere else in Punjab. For matrimonial or property ads aimed at UK, Canada or Australia-based Punjabi families, Nawan Zamana's Doaba readership is a relevant regional platform. For wider Punjabi-language reach beyond Doaba-Malwa, we can add Ajit or Jag Bani to your order. Book a combined Punjabi package →
