program that I had successfully completed in Hindustan times under
Human Resource Division from 01/07/2022 to 31/08/2022 as a
requirement of my MBA program on Department of Human

corporate world setting, every hour spent in the human resource
department gave me some amount of experience all the time all of
which cannot be explained in words. But nevertheless, they were all
useful for my career. This report includes how an HR Department
works, what are the possible divisions and work distribution in an
HRD, recruitment process, training and development initiatives, how
to keep employees motivated as well as how to control
insubordinations, compensation and benefits planning, how to lead

team in order to process their final settlement data and the
administration team in processing of leave of the employees. With
limited knowledge and experience I tried my best to make this report
as much understandable as possible and translated the real world
experience into a document. The various boundaries to process
improvement and maintaining ethical standards in a corporate
environment have also been experienced. Before drawing any
conclusion based on this report it may be noted that the report was
prepared in a very short term and there is lack in data. But still the

HISTORY

8|Page
Hindustan Times was founded in 1924 in Delhi by Sunder Singh
Lyallpuri, founder-father of the Akali movement and the Shiromani
Akali Dal.[9] S Mangal Singh Gill (Tesildar) and S. Chanchal Singh
(Jandiala, Jalandhar) were made in charge of the newspaper. Madan
Mohan Malaviya and Tara Singh were among the members of the
Managing Committee. The Managing Chairman and Chief Patron was
Master Sunder Singh Lyallpuri.
According to Prem Shankar Jha, who wrote an official history of the
newspaper in 1999, most of the early funding of the paper, therefore,
came from Sikhs in Canada. When financial troubles started in the
early years, the Akalis approached two interested potential buyers
from the nationalist movement. These were Motilal Nehru and Madan
Mohan Malaviya, and ultimately Malviya bought the Hindustan
Times. In fact, Malviya had to take out a loan of Rs. 40,000 with the
help of Lala Lajpat Rai in order to finance the paper. In 1928, Gandhi
chose a new editor, K. M. Panikkar, for the paper. By that time, the
paper was running into financial troubles again; G. D.
Birla underwrote some expenses and ultimately assumed ownership.
Devdas Gandhi, son of Mahatma Gandhi, was inducted into the
editors' panel, and was later appointed editor.The opening ceremony
was performed by Mahatma Gandhi on 26 September 1924. The first
issue was published from Naya Bazar, Delhi (now Swami Sharda
Nand Marg). It contained writings and articles from C. F. Andrews and Cattamanchi Ramalinga
Reddy, among others.
K. M. Panikkar, also known as Sardar Panikkar, launched the Hindustan Times as a serious nationalist
paper broader
newspaper. As an Oxonian, historian and litterateur, Panikkar strived to make the
than an Akali sheet. He became the editor and funds flowed freely
from Akali patrons. He exerted himself strenuously, but the paper
made very little headway. In two years, Panikkar could not take the
print order any higher than 3,000. By then the Akali movement
appeared to lose steam and funds dried up. The paper was saved from
an untimely demise when Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya stepped in
to realise his vision of a newspaper in Delhi.
It has its roots in the Indian independence movement of the first half
of the twentieth century and even faced the noted "Hindustan
Times Contempt Case (August–November, 1941)" at Allahabad High

Court.[13] It was edited at times by many important people in India,
including Devdas Gandhi, Sri Mulgaonkar, B.G.
Verghese and Khushwant Singh. Sanjoy Narayan was editor in chief
of the paper from 2008 to 2016.
