What You're Booking, and Why It Works

Manipur's English-language daily is printed in Imphal and circulated throughout the state (Churachandpur, Vasco, Mapusa, Ponda and all other areas of North and South Manipur). The People's Chronicle is a single-edition regional paper like the other single-edition regional papers Riyo books, where there's no edition to choose, no format but only the day.

Reach isn't the quality that makes a newspaper classified. It's for the reader's purpose. A family reading Sunday matrimonials in Imphal. A hotel Human Resources Director before the tourist season starts, reading this Friday's job postings. A weekend visitor to the listings in Porvorim or Churachandpur. They are actively looking throughout the day on Saturday. Both these sections remain current during the rest of the week. This is the reason why, for recruitment, matrimonial, property and statutory notices in Manipur, The People's Chronicle is not an alternative for the English readership. It's the medium the response is coming from.

And yet, booking it has never been simple. Six category rates, per-line classified charges, and per-sq.cm display charges and a matrimonial package structure that makes a difference – when four consecutive Sundays cost less than one Sunday booked four times in a row. Walk into The People's Chronicle office and you pay the full counter rate. Engage a sub-agent and you get a quote you can't check.

Riyo has been solving this problem since 2003. Just dial 9821984000: you get the exact rate — 15–35% below the counter. Draft your ad free, see a proof before printing, and get the tearsheet emailed when the ad appears. We have read these rate cards for 23 years and know exactly which section, which format and which day to invest in for your money.

Simple Process

How to Book an Ad in The People's Chronicle

There used to be three problems: selecting the rate, writing the ad and booking a confirmation. Let's take a look at how they work with Riyo.

Phase 01

Decide the Rate

We work from the same rate card The People's Chronicle office reads — broken out by category and format — and quote you 15–35% below what the counter charges.

0:00: Call or WhatsApp 9821984000. Tell us category & date.
0:05: Get a recommendation, not just a rate. Classified text, display with logo, or main paper display.
0:10: Hear the bundle math. 4 consecutive Sundays is over 25% cheaper. Combo with Sangai Express available.
Phase 02

Draft the Ad

Send a rough draft — even two lines on WhatsApp — and we write, format, and design it the way the paper expects.

0:15: Send your content (WhatsApp/email). Name change/lost document: just send affidavit/document copy.
0:20: We add highlights (bold, tick, border, logo) to ensure it performs.
0:30: You get a proof exactly as it will print. Nothing goes to the paper without your approval.
Phase 03

Release & Confirm

Once you approve the proof, the rest runs without you — desk submission, press confirmation, and tearsheets.

Payment: UPI, NEFT, card, or cheque. Instant confirmation, reference number, and GST invoice.
Clearance: We handle editorial review. Because we draft to compliance rules, ads clear on first read.
Print: Your ad publishes. PDF tearsheet arrives by email within 48–72 hours as proof of publication.

Recruitment Column

How to Post a Job Ad in The People's Chronicle

The People's Chronicle is a recruitment column. We reach English-speaking professionals in Imphal, Churachandpur, Vasco and Manipur as a whole who rely on the publication for jobs in the hospitality and tourism, government and local business sectors.

What to include in the ad:
→ Job title — first two words, not buried in paragraph three
→ Company or organisation name, unless it's a confidential search
→ Key qualifications and years of experience
→ Location — city, hybrid, or remote (be specific)
→ Salary range — this matters more than anything else
→ How to apply — email, portal link, or phone
Best time of year to recruit:
PeriodDemand & Action
Jan–Mar🔴 HIGH — post-appraisal, highest job-switch intent
Sep–Oct🔴 HIGH — pre-tourist-season hospitality hiring surge
Monsoon (Jun–Aug)⚪ AVOID — off-season slowdown for tourism-linked roles

Why your Job Ad isn't getting applications

  • Wrong day: Tuesday or Wednesday reaches a general audience. Always request Friday or Sunday.
  • No salary range: Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
  • Vague job title: "Front Office Manager — Imphal — ₹5–8L" gets clicked; "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
  • Ad too short: A 3-line ad doesn't let a qualified candidate self-select. Aim for 8–12 lines.
  • Only ran once: 2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more response.
Run an ad that underperformed? Call 9821984000 — tell us what ran and how many responses you got. We'll identify the issue, no charge for that conversation.

⚠️ Terms to Avoid — Legal Compliance

The People's Chronicle's editorial team reviews ads. Discriminatory language gets the ad rejected:
✕ Age limits — use "2–5 years experience" instead
✕ Gender language — "Male only," "Salesman"
✕ Appearance — "fair complexion," "good-looking"
✕ Marital status — "married preferred"
✕ Regional exclusions — "Locals only"
✕ Misleading titles — dressing up cold-call sales as "executive"

💍 The People's Chronicle Matrimonial Ad Guide

Why Sunday is the only day that matters: The Sunday edition has a high surge in readership compared to other day editions. It is a book used by families in Manipur to look for matches. A weekday ad is seen by a general audience, a Sunday ad is seen by people that are actively searching. If budget permits, reserve 2-4 back to back Sundays — response increases week to week.

Package 5-Line Rate
Single Sunday₹1,000–₹1,300
2 Sundays₹1,850
4 Sundays₹3,400
Combo w/ Sangai Express₹2,600

Writing tip: Lead with community, then age, then education, then profession — the sequence matrimonial readers scan first.

⚖ The People's Chronicle Public Notice Guide

The People's Chronicle is an accepted document for mandatory disclosures at the courts, company registrar and government departments throughout Manipur.

  • Name change (with affidavit)
  • Lost document — passport, degree, property
  • Tender and court notices
  • Insolvency and NCLT filings
  • Property sale / possession notices
  • AGM, EGM, financial results

Rates: ₹130–₹190/line classified text · ₹300–₹540/sq.cm classified display.

Deadlines: Book 3–4 working days before any regulatory deadline — not the day before. A missed deadline has consequences that no discount is worth.

Choose Wisely

Riyo vs Direct Booking vs Self-Serve Portal

An honest comparison — there's a right answer depending on your situation.

Feature Riyo Advertising The People's Chronicle Walk-in Self-Serve Portal
Rate 15–35% below counter Counter rate (highest) Similar to counter
Guidance on format/day ✅ Yes Limited ❌ None
Ad drafting help ✅ Free ❌ No ❌ No
Design proof before print ✅ Yes ❌ No Limited
Same-day urgent handling ✅ Call directly Possible at counter Limited
Tearsheet by email ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Response time 30 min, working days At the counter Platform-dependent

If you know exactly what you want and price is your only variable, a self-serve portal works fine. If you need guidance or a human who will answer the phone for an urgent obituary or legal deadline — that's what we're here for.

Q. What is the cheapest way to advertise in The People's Chronicle?
The People's Chronicle classified ad rates start low and a rough draft is all we need to get a formatted quote. For repeat visibility at the lowest per-insertion cost, a multi-Sunday matrimonial or recruitment package beats booking single insertions. Call 9821984000 for budget options.
Q. Is Riyo Advertising an authorised The People's Chronicle booking partner?
Yes — authorised for The People's Chronicle and other Manipur regional titles. Agency rates, 8,000+ ads booked since 2003.
Q. Does my The People's Chronicle print ad appear online too?
Yes — automatically, at no extra cost. Your ad appears in The People's Chronicle's e-paper edition, making public notices and classifieds also searchable online.

Call 9821984000 if you'd like to add complementary Manipur titles to the same booking.
Q. Why do salary ranges matter so much in job ads?
Candidates filter by salary before reading anything else. Without a salary range, you lose 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately. Even a broad range — ₹5L–₹8L — outperforms "salary commensurate with experience" every time. It's the single most impactful free change you can make to any recruitment ad.
