Abstract
Government College Lahore was established in 1864 while the first literary magazine "The Ravi" was published in January 1906 which was published monthly. The Punjabi-Persian script in "The Ravi" started with the publication of folk songs in January 1910, while the Gurmukhi script began in December 1922 and January 1923 with a two-page essay by Kapur Singh Bajwa. The January-February 1925 issue was published as "Punjabi Number". This is the first issue in which Punjabi was published for the first time in Gurmukhi and Persian script. After English and Urdu, the editorial board of the Punjabi section was separated in October 1925 and Sher Singh Giyani was appointed as the first editor. One-page editorial by the editor titled "Shukar Hai" can be said to be the first Punjabi editorial.
