# Rajasthan school students run own newspaper to learn journalism 2026-08-09T22:46:24+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A government school in Rajasthan’s Tonk district has launched a student-run newspaper to give rural children hands-on journalism experience. The PM Shri Government Senior Secondary School in Raholi publishes ‘Raholi Shiksha Samachar’ in Hindi and ‘Raholi Education Times’ in English, available in print and digital formats. Students from Classes 10 to 12 handle reporting, photography, editing and layout, guided by an editorial board that includes the principal and teacher Pooja Patidar. Principal Dr Yogendra Singh Naruka, who has a journalism background, started the newspaper in 2023 after noticing that students had little access to newspapers and that school achievements went unreported in mainstream media. The initiative began with a book in 2022 and now operates without dedicated government funding. Teachers voluntarily contribute to cover printing costs, so copies are free for students. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Rajasthan, rural education, school newspaper, student journalism, Tonk Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rajasthan-school-students-run-own-newspaper-to-learn-journalism/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
