| Mumbai, August 10,
2006: The Divya Bhaskar Gujarat Team will contribute a day’s salary alongwith
the Bhaskar Group, contributing similar funds, to assist the victims of the Surat
floods. 36 lakh residents of Surat have been marooned since Tuesday as almost
95 per cent of the city has been drowned in 10-15 feet of water. Divya
Bhaskar has been the only newspaper that was printed and distributed in Surat
during the last two days of the unprecedented flood situation. This has been largely
possible, by the dedication and hard work of the Divya Bhaskar Surat team in-spite
of suffering huge personal losses, ensured that the newspaper is brought out as
compared to other newspapers who had a very skeleton print run today. Bhaskar
Group is a 1700 crore business conglomerate with strong presence in Newspapers.
Television, Entertainment, Printing, Textiles, Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Oils,
Solvents and Internet Services. The group has rocketed to the top of the
print media industry in India with its flagship Hindi daily newspaper, Dainik
Bhaskar, and the Gujarati newspaper, Divya Bhaskar. Brand 'Bhaskar' is today synonymous
with success, quality, dynamism and ethics in millions of households across India
and the corporate world alike. *************** For further information,
