A. K. Bhandari to
be UNI GM & Chief Editor
Profile of Mr. Arun Kumar Bhandari, General Manager and Chief
Editor-designate, United News of India
Senior journalist Mr. Arun Kumar Bhandari is going to be the General Manager
and Chief Editor of the nation's premier United News of India (UNI) news
agency including its Hindi wing Varta and Urdu service.
He has been associated with UNI for
almost four decades now and, during the period, he was bestowed several key
responsibilities every one of which he fulfilled successfully.
After securing a degree in journalism from Panjab University, Chandigarh, he
was selected by UNI and posted as Trainee Sub-Editor at the agency's New Delhi
head office in 1969. On successful completion of four months' training, he was
absorbed in UNI as Sub-Editor.
During his tenure in New Delhi, Mr. Bhandari was bestowed the responsibility
of preparing all categories of news. He even prepared news bulletins for All
India Radio's 'Yuvavani' programme.
In the backdrop of the Punjab political crisis in the middle of 1970, he was
shifted to Chandigarh to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of a Special
Correspondent and in recognition of his outstanding performance there he was
promoted out of turn.
Besides receiving some organisational awards for reportage, he was honoured by
the Himachal Pradesh government for best development reporting and the Madhya
Pradesh Vidhan Sabha for parliamentary coverage.
A diploma in Journalism (covering both print and electronic media) from the
International Institute for Journalism, Budapest, added to Mr. Bhandari's
qualifications.
He has widely travelled in India and overseas, including the United States of
America, United Kingdom, Germany, Egypt, Columbia, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia,
Pakistan, Nepal, China, Dubai, Singapore and Russia. He was among the few
journalists handpicked by the Chinese government in the wake of the Indo-China
friendship year last year and harvested a rich crop of news on varied aspects
including preparations for the Olympics.
During his visit to Pakistan, he contributed a series of reports pertaining to
the India-Pakistan relationship for which he received the Best Reporter Award.
Among the major international events, Mr. Bhandari had the distinction of
covering the Non-Aligned Meet, the United Nations' 50th anniversary besides
being part of the press party accompanying the Prime Minister on his US
sojourn.
With 39 years of journalism experience, he has grown with UNI. Those who have
worked with him will vouch for the fact that he is not only an able journalist
but also a person who feels deeply for those under his command.
Mr. Bhandari's wife Mrs. Suman Bhandari is a schoolteacher. The couple has a
daughter and son.
As he gears up to assume the hallowed responsibility of GM and CE, Mr.
Bhandari has been congratulated by Madhya Pradesh Governor Balram Jakhar,
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Congress state President Suresh Pachouri,
Congress General Secretary and former chief minister Digvijay Singh, Bharatiya
Jan Shakti Founder-President and ex-chief minister Uma Bharti all of whom are
of the opinion that the development is a matter of pride for this state's
journalism firmament.
Mr. Bhandari was presented a siropa (robe of honour) today at a local gurdwara
in the presence of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee head Avtar Singh
Makkad and member Manjit Singh 'Calcutta' who also chairs the Sikh Mission
International.
Mr. Makkad and Mr. Singh were in Bhopal to attend the 24th Annual Convention
of the Guru Singh Sabha (Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh)
