History

Champak was founded by Vishwanath. The first edition of Champak was released in 1968 and got instant fame thereafter. At that time, Champak competed with Chandamama, one of the best selling magazines. In 1980, the third competitor, Tinkle was released. Yet till now, Champak remains one of the favourite magazines of children in India.[2]

A CD is given free of cost with a pack of Multimedia Edition Champak. The CD contains games and activities for a child to learn.

Contests

Champak has also been conducting Story Writing Contests for children under 12 years old since 2008. The final round is held in Delhi. The story writing competition is judged by Chhaya Singh and Vinay Kumar, two reputable and praiseworthy novelists.

Champak's annual writing and painting competition is called 'Champak Creative Child Contest'. [3]
