In the year 1968 Kishore Bharati started with a vision to be a pioneer magazine for the youths of Bengal. During that period, there were no magazines for the Juvenile and Teenagers. All the top authors like Ashapurna Devi, Premendra Mitra, Bonophool, Narayan Gangopadhyay and renowned artists like Mayukh Chowdhury, Narayan Debnath, Shailya Chakraborty contributed to the magazine from the start. Down the years, all the top ranking and most popular authors from Bengal, like Sunil Gangopadhyay, Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, Sanjeeb Chattopadhyay, Samares Mazumdar, Suchitra Bhattacharya have been associated with Kishore Bharati. We encourage book reading and writing, and hence we regularly promote story writing competitions. To us quality matters more than the name. A bunch of young generation writers are now coming up.
