The Problem
As digital news expands rapidly, native languages risk being erased from the media landscape entirely.
Garhwali and Kumaoni have virtually zero structured digital presence in mainstream media.
Local stories go unreported or are buried under regional-Hindi publications without cultural nuance.
Youth growing up without exposure to their mother tongue's written form risks permanent cultural disconnect.
No news platform speaks to young Uttarakhandis in a voice they associate with home and identity.
Our Solution
Raebar brings local, verified news directly to Uttarakhandis โ in the language they grew up speaking, thinking, and dreaming in.
"News That Speaks Like Home."
Technology serving tradition, not erasing it.
Key Features
Every story available in Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Hindi โ giving audiences a choice in how they consume their region's news.
A network of local correspondents and AI-assisted verification ensures every story is grounded, accurate, and regionally relevant.
Beyond news โ festivals, folk traditions, local heroes, seasonal events, and heritage content that keeps culture alive digitally.
AI tools assist transliteration, vocabulary preservation, and content structuring to maintain linguistic integrity at scale.
District-level, tehsil-level, village-level stories that national and state media never cover โ because every region deserves its story told.
Reader submissions, community voices, and diaspora connection features that make Raebar a living cultural commons, not just a feed.
Why It Matters
Raebar strengthens more than local journalism. It reinforces linguistic identity, cultural pride, and regional inclusion in India's growing digital media landscape.
For the Uttarakhandi diaspora across India and the world โ it is a connection to home. For youth growing up in cities โ it is a bridge to their roots. For the hills themselves โ it is a voice.
"Technology Serving Tradition."
