On 15th June 2012, Prabhat Khabar was honoured to have Bharat Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India as the Guest Editor for their newspaper.

When invited Dr. Kalam wanted to know, if Prabhat Khabar was owned by any political party or owed allegiance to any Political group. After going through some of their news papers he convinced that Prabhat Khabar is an independent publication and attempts to raise issues of the 'common man' and be their voice to the government. For this Dr. Kalam agreed to be the guest editor for the Prabhat Khabar for the day. Articles like children bypassing a vital educative link of their childhood and being burdened with the worries of the adult hood and the loneliness of senior citizen was much appreciated by Dr. Kalam.

He discussed various aspects of News and gave his valuable guidance to the resident editors across the editions. He showed keen interest in the various aspects of the news papers and gave his suggestions.

Dr. Kalam the founder of PURA(Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas), was glad to know about Prabhat Khabar’s initiative of a rural newspaper 'PANCHAYINAMA'. He called it a big step towards rural development. While leaving he gave his blessings to the Prabhat Khabar family for a bright future ahead. This is the first time Dr. Kalam had agreed to be a guest editor of any newspaper in Bihar, Jharkhand or West Bengal.
