The Sambad was established in 1984 with Saumya Ranjan Patnaik, son-in-law of J.B. Patnaik, in the saddle. Saumya Ranjan was once a senior BJP leader in Orissa but his father-in-law is said to be the main force behind the paper. The paper has come up in a big way and has an English daily, the Sun Times, in tow. Already the Sambad has editions from Rourkela and Berhampur, apart from its base in Bhubaneswar
