It is impossible for a single person to establish and run a newspaper. Vidwaans H. G. Shithikanta Sharma, T. Shankara shastri, Balaganapati Bhat, Shingappa, Roopa Naraya Pandeya and other senior Vidwaans have cooperated with Sudharma for its smooth publication. After Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar’s demise., Vidwaan H. V. Nagarajarao & Vidwaan Dr. T. V. Sathyanarayana have been working tirelessly with dedication towards fulfilling Sudharma’s mission.

Completing 50 successful years of existence and entering the 51st year of Sudharma, we are bringing out a special anniversary issue.

Any newspaper requires a financial resource. The usual financial sources for most newspapers are advertisements, donations, and contributions from the government. Being in Sanskrit e-paper, Sudharma has never had sufficient revenue from advertisements. It has not received financial support from the government either.

Despite supporters’ encouragement, today’s high prices have led to several critical difficulties. Printing material are much more expensive these days. Salaries for workers need to be raised in tune with the current costs of living. These economic pressures are making it increasingly difficult to run Sudharma as a newspaper.

It is becoming impossible to provide the honorary editors with the honorarium due to them. In spite of these daunting difficulties. Sudharma has been appearing regularly for the past 44 years. Since 2008 nearly 95 countries of Sanskrit lovers are reading Sudharma (e-paper) every day.
