Ganashakti has started its publication from January, 3, 1967 as an evening daily. In 1986, May, 1, the evening daily has been converted to morning publication. Presently Ganashakti has its 3 editions, Kolkata, Durgapur and Siliguri and reaching every nook and corner of West Bengal. It is published in Bengali, with online and English weekly editions, and is read in the city o
f Kolkata and the surrounding area. Although, a party mouthpiece, it covers wide range of issues including travel, literature, science, and technology. A unique feature of the paper is its display on roadside woodboards throughout Kolkata and its suburbs allowing people who can't afford a newspaper to read it. The principal catalyst behind transformation of Ganashakti was Saroj Mukherjee, a freedom fighter and CPI(M)'s state secretary during the 1980s. After Mukherjee's death his efforts were carried on by Anil Biswas, who was editor of the daily.
