| History / इतिहास | |
| Brief History / संक्षिप्त इतिहास | The idea of setting up a Press Club emerged in 1993 at the residence of Late Vaid Gurbhajan Singh Sanyasi senior journalist in the city. Journalists were the lowest-paid white-collar employees those days, and they had to fight every inch of the way to get their due. In the beginning, then Activities of Press club Patiala were operated at Ragho Mazra at the Premises of Mr. Sanyasi. Mr. Sanyasi was elected as President and Mr. Parveen Komal was elected as vice president by the members of the PCP. During the course of this struggle, Journalists found that most cities In India, journalist unions had founded press clubs and had set up their Own buildings. They decided that they should have one in Patiala too. A delegation of journos led by Vaid Gurbhajan Singh Sanyasi, Dr. I S Chawla Correspondent Daily Ajeet , Mr.Parveen Komal Editor Right Action Group of Newspapers, Mr. Jagjeet Singh Dardi Chief Editor of Charhdikala Group, Mr. G.S. Manni Chief Editor of Daily Ranjit , Chaudhri Parbhjit Singh Chief Editor Shaheed-E-Azam weekly , approached Sardar Beant Singh, the then chief Minister of Punjab. Chief Minister Sr. Beant Singh was a Forward-looking politician and he knew journalists from close quarters. He told the delegation that he had been impressed when he visited the Press Club of Delhi, and that he would help to secure a similar facility for journalists in Patiala zone. Mr. Surinder Kapur , the then Minister of Information & Public Relations Punjab was another politician Who felt that journalists ought to have a place they could call them own. He too offered a helping hand. After this setup work of Press Club Patiala was under Progress but after the assassination of Sardar Beant Singh the proceedings were halted. Chief Minister Punjab Captain Amrinder Singh finally allotted Old RTI building at Baradari Garden near 20 no. Railwaycrossing to the Press Club Patiala that used to be earlier occupied by Regional Transport Authority. It was given a lick of pail paint and it had its own old world charm. With a face of the Press Club came to be christened But with the perennial shortage of funds, the building remained till a barrack with a partly enclosed lawn area at the back. There were many journalists who contributed their mite in getting the Press Club Patiala started. Besides those mentioned earlier, there was Late Bhushan Sarhandi, Raju timirharan , J.S. Dhillo, Ramanjit Singh , Arwind Srivastva, Amarbir Singh Walia, Manjinder Singh, Gurjit Walia ,Mohan Lal,Harvinder Singh Kukoo, Kulwant Singh . There were other organizations such as the Distt. Electronic Media and press photographers association, the Patiala Print Media Association, Online Media Association, who wanted the government to allot a premise for their use. However, the chief minister preferred to allot space for a non-sectional, non-denominational body of journalists, which would be used as a cultural center by members to mingle and relax. |
