ABOUT US

The Shillong Times first appeared as a tabloid-sized weekly on 10 August, 1945 under the editorship of Mr S.B. Chaudhuri on a treadle machine.

In 1961, Parsva Nath Chaudhuri bought The Shillong Times newspaper and press from the founder editor – proprietor, Mr S.B.Chaudhuri and took over the editorial reins. With the untimely death of its second editor, Mr P.N.Chaudhuri on 1 April, 1978, his youngest son, Mr Manas Chaudhuri already actively working for The Shillong Times took over the management of the paper.

A symbolic day – Independence Day, 15 August, 1991 – was chosen as the day to switch over to the modern computer typesetting and offset printing technique to keep abreast with the latest in printing technology. For the first time The Shillong Times appeared as a broadsheet daily.

Realising that the Garo Hills comprises virtually half of Meghalaya and that there was no vehicle of information to disseminate information of events taking place in those parts, The Shillong Times launched its Garo Hills edition giving the readers of Tura a morning newspaper for the first time on 9 November, 1992.
