Every morning we wake up to stressful updates and trying to find a ray of hope looks most daunting & challenging. Amidst these testing times, Jagran New Media has taken the initiative to share stories which will spark a wave of positivity in people & transform powerlessness into empowerment by providing hope. The series is an amalgamation of the original stories based on good/inspiring work being done in the society, education sectors, innovation/research fields and entrepreneurship areas.

Synonymous with the name ‘Positive India’, the focus is to impart hope to the users, despite the lockdown. As there are a lot of positive and unmatched examples of social harmony in our country, the series is purposefully tailor made to share the journey of ordinary people with extraordinary stories and hence empowering the users of New Bharat.

Just to quote one of the first tweets of the series from Dainik Jagran’s twitter handle- @JagranNews, on March 26^th was about Air India pilot, Captain Swati Rawal who flew to Rome to rescue 265 Indians.

Talking about the series, Bharat Gupta, CEO, Jagran New Media, said,”Currently, we are surrounded by immense amount of negative news/information and I believe somewhere it does impact us negatively on both personal front and as society.

The fundamental building block of Humans is Hope and I personally believe that we continuously need to be aspired to live as better humans and progress as a happy societyThere is so much of good that is happening around us but gets lost in the negativity that surrounds us

Positive India can be a series that highlights all the good happening around us in terms of positive news, positive stories, experiences or Point of views...anything and everything which can inspire/aspire us, educate us, open our mind positively, constructive, progressive and wake us up with a smile and program our mind for a better day.”
