Over the years, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the publication's editorial identity, helping establish GPlus as a credible, relevant and influential voice in the region.
What makes the appointment particularly significant is Dr Chanda's long association with the organisation.

Alongside his professional responsibilities at GPlus, Dr Chanda pursued higher academic research and earned a Doctorate, reflecting his commitment to both scholarship and the practice of journalism. His academic journey later led him to a private university, where he served as an Associate Professor of Mass Communication, mentoring aspiring media professionals and sharing insights drawn from years of newsroom experience.
Though he briefly stepped away from GPlus during this phase, his association with the organisation remained strong. His eventual return reaffirmed a relationship built on shared values, purpose and a common vision for meaningful journalism.
Prior to his appointment as Editor, Dr Chanda served as Bureau Chief, where he played a key role in strengthening editorial operations, mentoring young journalists and driving impactful coverage across a wide range of subjects.

Dr Chanda's appointment comes at a time when GPlus continues to expand its reach and influence across platforms in an increasingly dynamic media landscape. His elevation reflects years of dedication, consistency and contribution to the publication's growth and credibility.
As Editor, Dr Chanda will lead the editorial team in furthering GPlus's mission of delivering credible, relevant and engaging journalism while continuing to amplify stories that matter to the people of Assam and the Northeast.
