  • (1888PressRelease) June 25, 2025 - The Real Khabar, a rising digital news platform based in Jharkhand, is steadily making its mark in the regional media landscape by delivering grassroots journalism and community-focused stories that often go underreported in mainstream outlets.

    Founded with a mission to bridge the gap between local realities and national narratives, The Real Khabar has seen significant growth in readership over the past year, especially among Jharkhand’s youth and rural population. The platform primarily covers local governance, rural development, health, education, tribal affairs, and civic issues—topics that resonate deeply with communities in and around Ranchi, Ramgarh, Hazaribagh, and the Palamu region.

    “We believe news should empower people, not just inform them,” said the founder of The Real Khabar, Ranjeet Kumar Sharma. “Our aim is to represent the real voices of the people—especially those who are often left unheard by national media.”

    What sets The Real Khabar apart is its blend of investigative pieces, on-the-ground reporting, and digital storytelling through video, social media reels, and citizen journalism. In addition, the platform regularly features content in Hindi to ensure accessibility for its core audience.

    Over the past few months, The Real Khabar has broken several exclusive stories—ranging from local administrative corruption to positive features on local entrepreneurs and social workers. Their coverage of environmental concerns in the coal-mining belt and their campaign for transparency in government schemes has earned praise from civic groups.

    The news portal also runs a “Real Impact” series, documenting how local issues highlighted by their reporters led to action from authorities, such as fixing rural roads, restoring school infrastructure, or cleaning water sources in tribal areas.

    With increasing traffic across its website and YouTube channel, The Real Khabar is now planning to expand into a mobile news app and develop partnerships with journalism schools to train young reporters from rural backgrounds.

    As mainstream media continues to grapple with credibility challenges, platforms like The Real Khabar represent a new wave of regional journalism—authentic, accountable, and deeply rooted in people’s lived experiences.
