On 26 July 1975, during the emergency period, the government of India took a decision to merge Samachar Bharti with Press Trust of India, United News of India and Hindustan Samachar to form a single nationalised news agency of India.[2] The employees' unions of the four agencies passed the resolutions accepting the idea of forming a single news entity.[3] Finally in February 1976, Samachar Bharati was merged along with other three agencies to form a nationalised news agency, Samachar.[4]
