Girish Chandra Bose and Agricultural Journalism (2016)

unapi

Girish Bose felt that agriculture was a subject for dissemination among the cultivators, literate and semi-literate. He launched two journals on agriculture, Agricultural Gazette in English and Krishi Gazette in vernacular. In these two journals he propagated this combined wisdom of the East and West. It contained articles from soil, water seed plant and implements for optimum agriculture production and even agricultural marketing and protection against pestilence. The two papers show his in-depth research in all the available books and magazines and analysis of their contents. The driving force was agricultural development of the country and improvement of the standard of living of the poor masses. The article reveals both these concerns in ample degree.
