Welcome to the official website of the Press Registrar General of India (PRGI)!

Previously known as the Registrar of Newspapers for India or RNI, PRGI is a statutory body as per the Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023,  

At PRGI, we are committed to facilitating the allotment of titles and registration of periodicals under the PRP Act, 2023, through an online process on the Press Sewa Portal.  
The important role of the print media, particularly newspapers, in nurturing democracy is universally acknowledged. Newspapers play a key role in projecting and analysing social issues and thereby play a major role in social development. The print media in India has an illustrious history, and it continues to play a vital role in keeping the public informed and engaged with issues that concern them. We, as a body facilitating the registration of periodicals in the country, are partners in the history as well as the present development of India. 

Whether you are a publisher of a periodical, the owner of a printing press, a media professional, a student of mass communication or an aware and inquisitive citizen, we invite you to explore our website for important updates and insights into the print media.
