“Journalism
can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It
must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of
triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air”, the
aforementioned quote speaks volumes about the power of journalism and its role
in seeking an empowered society where each class and group has a stake.
With a similar vision in mind and a magnificent six years into its inception, Quant Media Private Limited is leading with its commendable work on touching rural lives and livelihoods to present the state of real India amongst its fellows.
Having led from the front on various breakthrough projects,
the committed team at Quant Media has taken to task the objective of connecting
the locals of Bihar with their residents in other parts of the country through
Live Bihar. Being incepted in 2016, the aim of the channel was to explicitly
propagate the rich culture, political ups and downs, news from around the world
and related to the state of Bihar while having special shows on women and
Bihari cuisine.
Headquartered in Sector 132, Noida, Quant Media is a
state-of-the-art news agency which has emerged with its revolutionary
journalism to empower the masses in India.
With its nationally acclaimed news platforms, Live India and
Live News, the firm is led by ace journalist with years of stalwarthy
experience, Director and Managing editor Basant Jha who has conceptualised the
vision of Live Bihar and is proving it’s mettle across the country.
Being launched by the then incumbent Union Ministers Ram Vilas
Paswan and Najma Heptulla in the year 2015, Live India caters to delivering the
most time sensitive and crucial events with credible and reliable journalism
pouring in from their dedicated team.
One of the renowned journalism experts in the country who have
touched the most backwards regions with his presence, he began his journey in
the year 2000 with Dainik Jagran News Paper and has since then climbed several
pedestals of success eventually making it to the top.
Having spent a substantial amount of time in the rural
vicinities of Bihar and Jharkhand. He
traveled from villages to villages to get a first hand insight of these states
and the communities who may migrate to other states but have their heart intact
with their native states.
Basant Jha now visualises a dream to copy the same streak in
Jharkhand and bless their natives with adequate reporting on its rich cultural
heritage, life style and life philosophy of the natives, tribals there which is
very different yet something which needs to be communicated across the country.
“It is because of my various work assignments and
constant inclination to understand more about the rural lives of some of the
most unreported areas in the country that I became sensitive to the idea of
taking their tremendous cultural richness to those who connect their heart with
these areas. We deploy our stringers from the most basic levels to up until the
district level. We are driven to continue this streak in all our endeavours so
that such news which is not covered by the mainstream national news channels
and agencies reaches those whose hearts beat for Bihar and Jharkhand ”, says
director and managing editor Basant Jha.
Their most celebrated platform, Live Bihar has received accolades
on many fronts because of their robust and impartial reporting that caters to
each nook and corner of Bihar. Being hailed by leaders of the opposition
parties and ruling party alike, it is because of their strong work ethic that
their commendable social media work is received exceedingly well by leaders and
citizens equally in Bihar.
Not only this, it was because of their unprecedented efforts
at catering to the most left out sections to bind all natives of Bihar that
Saroj Jha, Regional Director of the World Bank, labelled Live Bihar as a new
communication revolution for Bihar.
