Usha Kirana was an Indian Kannada language newspaper which had its headquarters in Bangalore, Karnataka.
It was established by Vijay Sankeshwar in March 2005 as a sister publication to the Vijaya Karnataka daily.[2] Originally, the paper had several simultaneously published editions.
In 2006, the paper was sold to Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd., publishers of India's leading newspaper, The Times of India, along with all of its sister publications including Vijaya Karnataka.
After Bennett, Coleman & Co. took over, they closed five editions of the newspaper in September 2006 and started The Times of India's Kannada version.[1] Usha Kirana ceased.
