Bharat24 4th Anniversary Special: Dr. Jagdeesh Chandra on the Journey of Building a National News Channel
On the occasion of Bharat24’s 4th anniversary, The JC Show presents a special episode — “संकल्प से सिद्धि आखिर कैसे हकीकत में बदला नेशनल चैनल भारत 24 लाने का सपना” — featuring an exclusive, in-depth conversation with Dr. Jagdeesh Chandra, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Bharat24. The episode was broadcast live from Bharat24’s Noida office, with the sister concern First India News team joining the celebrations virtually from Jaipur.
This anniversary episode traces the complete journey of Bharat24 — from the moment the idea first took shape during a visit to Srinagar, to its evolution into one of India’s most talked-about national news channels. Dr. Jagdeesh Chandra reflects candidly on his own remarkable career path: a 30-year tenure as an IAS officer, a gold medal in M.Com from the University of Rajasthan, top rank in the Rajasthan Administrative Services exam, and the decision to take voluntary retirement in 2008 to enter the media industry — a move that would eventually earn him the title of media’s “Turnaround Man.”
As Bharat24 marks four years on air, this special episode closes with Dr. Chandra’s reflections on what lies ahead — the channel’s next phase of growth in a media landscape increasingly shaped by digital platforms and artificial intelligence — along with a heartfelt message to the channel’s viewers, ground reporters, and editorial team who have powered this journey.
Watch the full episode of The JC Show for an exclusive look at the story, the struggles, and the vision behind Bharat24 — India's national news channel.
