Gaunle Deurali, a unique rural newspaper in South Asia, was started in 1993 to empower underprivileged and semi-literate people.
Deurali has trained more than 700 such journalists in different districts of the country. The idea is to create a network of rural journalists who can write for local newspapers like Deurali on events and processes that affect the lives of the people living in villages.
During the formulation of the Rural Newspaper Project it was assumed that the income from the subscriptions and advertisements would make the paper self-sustainable, but in order to grow we must grow our base of financial resources.
Give voice to underprivileged people living in remote and rural areas.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
