HISTORY OF THE ORGANISATION

Navajivan trust: Founded by Mahatma Gandhi, Navajivan Trust is a publishing house of great repute having to its credit publications of more than 800 titles in English, Gujarati, Hindi and other languages so far. Located on the west side of the river Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, this unique institution has grown from strength to strength during the last eight decades.

Background: Gandhiji returned to India in 1915 after shining victory in South Africa with a new and powerful weapon of Satyagraha. He settled down in Ahmedabad with a view to serve the people of India. Growth of Navajivan: Navajivan was being printed in the Natvar Printing Press situated near the Khamasa Gate in Ahmedabad. Soon after Gandhiji took over Navajivan readership increased from 600 to 6000 by the third issue and the small press in which Navajivan was printed, was found to be inadequate to cope with the demands.

It was, therefore, decided to purchase a printing press. Manahar Printing Press located in a lane at the entrance of Chudiaul was purchased at the cost of Rs. 10,000/- and renamed as Navajivan Mudranalaya.

The other reason which was more important for purchasing a printing press was the reluctance on the part of the owners of the other printing presses to print the fearless and critical writings of Gandhiji against the Government. In a short while circulation of Navajivan reached the figure of 12,000 but Young India could reach the circulation of only 1,400. This was found to be uneconomical. Hence it was decided to entrust the supervision of both the weeklies and the management of the printing press to a single person, Swami Anand. On the 1st August 1920, Non-Cooperation Movement was launched due to khilafat issue. Gandhiji travelled extensively throughout India addressing various public gatherings. This brought about unusual awareness amongst the people and the atmosphere was surcharged with new hopes. Subscribers of Navajivan and Young India increased by leaps and bounds. Both the publications became self-reliant within no time and even the debt incurred for purchasing and running the press was also liquidated. On August 19, 1921 Hindi Navajivan, a Hindi edition of Navajivan was published. Non-Cooperation Movement had reached its peak in 1921 and the readers were eagerly awaiting arrival of Navajivan and Young India every Sunday. Due to Non-Coperation Movement, contributors to the weeklies increased and circulation of Navajivan reached 40,000 and that ofYoung India 26,000 to 30,000. Even Hindi Navajivan reached the circulation of 15,000 to 18,000. Additional issues of Navajivan became the order of the day. About 90 people were working day and night in a small place.

It was not possible to work in such a congested small place like this for a long time and there was a need to shift to a larger and better place. A building situated in Sarkhigarani Wadi outside Sarangpur Gate was found convenient and on the 11th February, 1922 the printing press and all the other departments of the Institution were shifted.

Hardly had a month elapsed when the Government arrested Gandhiji for writing three seditious articles in Young India and sentenced him to six years simple imprisonment. As the Government had not asked Navajivan Mudranalaya to furnish security deposit for non-violation of press rules, the weeklies were continued to be published under the editorship of various workers till their arrests. In January, 1924 Gandhiji was operated upon for Appendicities. On the 5th February he was released unconditionally by the Government. As soon as Gandhiji regained strength, he resumed editorship of Navajivan and Young India from April 1924. After Gandhiji resumed editorship Young India continued as effectively and aggressively as before until 1930 when the historical Salt Satyagraha was launched. In 1924 savings of Rs. 50,000/- of Navajivan Mudranalaya were handed over to Gujarat Prantik Samiti for propagation of spinning wheel and khadi. In the year 1925 the first Mumbai office of Navajivan was opened to provide Mumbaites its publications at a low cost and in time. Similar offices were also opened in Surat, Pune, Rajkot, Delhi, Indore and Vadodara. Navajivan Institution was expanding. No advertisement was being taken in the weeklies and publications were also provided to the readers at a low cost. In 1928 the total asset of Navajivan Institution was estimated at Rs. 100,000/-. On the 27th November 1929 Gandhiji registered the deed of Trust and converted private ownership of Navajivan Institution into a Public Charitable Trust.

Thus the long cherished ideal of Gandhiji of creating a public institution for educating public opinion together with the activities of conducting weeklies was fulfilled. The following are the extracts from the Declaration of Trust made by Mahatma Gandhi on November 26, 1929.

Declaration of Trust: We, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi age about years 60, Hindu, profession weaving and farming, residing at Satyagrahashrama, Vadaj, Taluka Uttar Daskroi, District Ahmedabad and Mohanlal Maganlal Bhatta, age about years 31, Hindu, residing at Bhoivadani Pole, Kalupur, Ahmedabad, declare by this Deed: That in the year 1919 with the object of serving the people we, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and some of our colleagues together started a printing press named Navajivan Mudranalaya in the city of Ahmedabad and with its help began to print, circulate and conduct as an institution for the service of the public two weeklies, the Navajivan and the Young India, both of which we had begun to conduct some time before after securing them by buying from their previous owners and managers with their total rights of ownership and possession. The Weekly Hindi Navajivan and a department for publishing books under the name Navajivan Prakashan Mandir and other more activities were carried on afterwards by us through the same institution. The said weeklies, printing press, and the department for publishing books have continued as a public institution for the education of the people under one comprehensive name of the Navajivan Institution. When the said Navajivan Institution was started under the name of the Navajivan Mudranalaya its property was worth about ten thousand, in figures, 10,000 rupees.

10

Together with the said printing press and the increase earned through the weeklies the property that belongs to the Institution today without any burden on it is worth about rupees one lakh. The aims and objects of the said Navajivan Institution which have been referred to in the previous para 2 are as under:

OBJECTS: To propagate peaceful means for the attainment of Hind Swaraj i.e. Swaraj for India by educating the people through cultivated and enlightened workers devoted to the Gujarati language who desire to identify themselves with the life of Gujarat through the means of Gujarati and to serve India in this pure manner. For the fulfilment of this object to conduct the Navajivan, through it to carry on propaganda for peaceful attainment of Swaraj; and particularly

To propagate the spinning wheel and khadi; To propagate for the removal of untouchability;

To propagate for unity between the Hindus and the Mussalmans and the various communities who have settled in India; To present before the people constructive ways for protecting the cow by propagating for starting and managing tanneries, dairies and such other establishments;

To propagate for ways for the advancement of women such as 1. Opposition to child-marriage, 2. Propagation of the idea of widow-remarriage in a restrained manner 3. Education for women;
11

 To break the unnatural glamour the English language has gained in the eyes of the people all over the country and to propagate for the establishment of Hindi or Hindustani in its place; To propagate by publication of journals and books such other ways as would conduce to the religious, social, economic and political advancement of the people; not to take advertisements in the newspapers conducted by the Institution and in pamphlets, books etc. published by it; nor to accept in the printing press of the Institution such work for printing as is against the aims and objects of the Institution; To publish a statement of the activities of the Institution and of its accounts within three months after the end of the administrative year; always to insist on carrying on all the activities of the Institution on the basis of self-reliance.

It is to be noted that Navajivan Trust was to propagate by publication of journals and books the activities Gandhiji had started for the religious, social, economic and political advancement of the people. It was to carry on all the activities on the basis of self-reliance.

For the purpose of self-reliance, the press might undertake printing of such writings which are not contrary to the objectives of the Trust. It is to the credit of the devoted trustees of the Navajivan Trust that they have strictly observed the objectives of the Trust even at the cost of profitable printing work going past them. Similarly no advertisement is taken in weeklies, papers or books published by the Trust. The objective of self-reliance has also been observed strictly as, so far, no grant or donation has been accepted by the Trust.

12

Navajivan Mudranalaya: The history of Navajivan and Harijan is in essence the development of the Navajivan Trust. Along with the weeklies Navajivan Mudranalaya has seen many ups and downs and also achieved remarkable progress. Like the weeklies the Mudranalaya has also acquired a distinct individuality.

From the very beginning the printing of the weeklies was neat, clean, impressive and maintained high standard in the clarity of language. The contribution of workers like Swami Anand, Shri Mohanlal Maganlal Bhatt, Shri Jiwanji Desai and Shri Dhirubhai Nayak in achieving this is worth noting. This tradition has been maintained even today and Navajivan Mudranalaya has received awards at state and national levels for its excellent printing. Navajivan Prakashan Mandir: From 1922 onwards, one department for publication of books was existing in Navajivan Institution. A small book Homage to Lokmanya was published by the Prakashan Mandir. Thereafter, collection of articles written by Gandhiji in Navajivan were published in the form of a book. This was followed by publication of few other books. By 1923, 25 books were published. A scheme was introduced for the Prakashan Mandir to provide books published by Navajivan to the customers at a very low price and in time.

A subscription of Rs. two was to be collected in advance and books published by the Prakashan Mandir were sent by post to the customers. The scheme became very popular and books of Navajivan reached every nook and corner of Gujarat. Thus began the spread of what we call today Gandhi sahitya in a larger sense.

13

A chain of writers like Shri Mahadev Desai, Swami Anand, Shri Kishorlal Mashruwala, Shri Kakasaheb Kalelkar, Shri Narhari Parikh and Shri Maganbhai Desai authored books for Navajivan. In addition many national leaders who had come in contact with Gandhiji felt honoured for publication of their books by Navajivan. After independence the main work of the Trust has been to spread the thoughts of Gandhiji through publication of books. To this end in view subjectwise writings of Gandhiji, memoirs of his co-workers, diaries and publications depicting various facets of Gandhijis personality have been brought out. These publications are mainly in Gujarati, Hind and English. Right from the very beginning there has been a tradition of Navajivan to provide publications at an affordable price to the reader. Publications which are considered essential for propagation of Gandhijis message and his thought processes are offered at the subsidised price. In the recent years to mark 125th birth anniversary of Gandhiji the Trust launched a project of publishing Gandhijis autobiography in all major regional languages of India at a subsidised price. Regional languages version of autobiography of about 452 or more pagess is offered at Rupees 20 per copy. Originally written in Gujarati, the Autobiography has been translated into Assamiya, Bengali, English, Hindi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Urdu. The Trust has also undertaken to translate and publish in Gujarati all the volumes of Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi. It has published 82 volumes in Gujarati so far. During Gandhi Centenary Year Navajivan has published Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi and offered it to readers at subsidised price. The set was reprinted in Gandhis 125th birth anniversary year. To meet the demand of regional languages Navajivan has embarked upon another ambitious project to publish Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi in regional languages. It has already published these books in Malayalam, Telugu and Bengali. Tamil and Kannadas editions are in press and will be released during 2001.

14

People living under the constant threat of the third World War are attracted to the thoughts and teachings of Gandhiji, as an alternative to the war, to resolve their internal as well as external conflicts. Moreover on account of fast changing world, people are torn amidst various ideologies, face challenges every day which threaten to uproot them from moral grounds leading to tension, anxieties, stress and depression. Gandhijis message of peace, love and universal brotherhood has greater relevance now. His speeches and writings are living source of solace and inspiration to millions of people through out the world and the Navajivan Trust with its team of dedicated workers is providing excellent ethical literature to the readers, thereby rendering a great service to the humanity at large.

PRODUCATION PROCESS

There is prepress is very important component of printing. Pre press The following items have each been considered part of prepress at one time or another. It include following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Typesetting Copy-editing Markup Proofing Proofreading Screening Imposition

Typesetting involves the presentation of textual material in graphic form on paper or some other medium. Before the advent of desktop publishing, typesetting of printed material was produced in print shops by compositors or typesetters working by hand, and later with machines.

Copy-editing, is the work that an editor does to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of a manuscript. Copy-editing is done prior to the work of proofreaders, who handle documents before final publication.

23

Markup is an artificial language using a set of annotations to text that give instructions regarding the structure of text or how it is to be displayed. Markup languages have been in use for centuries, and in recent years have also been used in computer typesetting and word-processing systems.

Proofing involves creating an accurate facsimile of the artwork before beginning production runs. This serves as a bond between the printer and their customer that the final product meets an agreed upon standard. Proofs in general can be done for all parts (images, illustrations, texts and colors) of print product. In this part, three types of proofing should be checked and printed out: the print-ready PDF files, the printer's proof and the imposition proof. Printready PDF files should be made after the layout using preflight at the printing house. The printer's proof should be printed out in high-resolution and checked by the customer. The imposition proof, which is usually done by the printers, should also be printed out to check and adjust the printing press. Proofreading traditionally means reading a proof copy of a text in order to detect and correct any errors. Modern proofreading often requires reading copy at earlier stages as well. Screening and adjustment of a continuous-tone of images such as photographs Imposition, or the combination of many pages into a single signature form. Separation, or specifying images or text to be put on plates applying individual printing media to a common print.Manufacturing of plates the usage of different materials of plates should meet the needs of printing method. Usually rubber, plastic,aluminum are used for plates as well as film which is the photomechanical exposure and processing of light-sensitive emulsion on a printing plate. Manufacturing of plates should be well planned and delivered beforehand. Also, the cost should be calculated as well.
24

Manufacturing of a high-quality print (PDF) file, this is used for the final printing.Paper select, choosing a proper paper is also a very important step in prepress. In most modern publishing environments, the tasks related to content generation and refinement are carried out separately from other prepress tasks, and are commonly characterized as part of graphic design.

Some companies combine the roles of graphic design and prepress production into desktop publishing usually called DTP. The set of procedures used in any particular prepress environment is known as a workflow. Workflows vary, depending on the printing process, the final product, and the implementation of specific prepress technologies.

25

PRINTING PROCESS In NAVAJIVAN PRINTING PRESS the papers are drowned in computer by the help of PHTOSHOP, PAGEMAKER, and COREDRAW.

1) They put the paper in DOT-METRIC PRINT In that print came out by their dots after that put paper in LEATHER PRINT. 2) Dot matrix printer: A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer is a type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth, or in an up and down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a typewriter. However, unlike a typewriter or daisy wheel printer, letters are drawn out of a dot matrix, and thus, varied fonts and arbitrary graphics can be produced. Because the printing involves mechanical pressure, these printers can create carbon copies and carbonless copies. Each dot is produced by a tiny metal rod, also called a "wire" or "pin", which is driven forward by the power of a tiny electromagnet or solenoid, either directly or through small levers . Facing the ribbon and the paper is a small guide plate pierced with holes to serve as guides for the pins.

The moving portion of the printer is called the print head, and when running the printer as a generic text device generally prints one line of text at a time. Most dot matrix printers have a single vertical line of dot-making equipment on their print heads; others have a few interleaved rows in order to improve dot. Density.

3) In that the print cmarouy with clearly and dots are ignoring by this leather print. Then they install datas on the butter paper by the help of BUTTER PRINT.

Butter Print: Print butter was a type of butter which was printed with "some emblematic device" as a marketing device. It remained in production from at least 1791 to 1949.References to print butter remain in the State of Connecticut, United States, legal code, requiring print butter to have the net 1weight printed in at least one-half inch high Gothic letters. 4) After that they put them on LIGHTING TABLE in that they arrange the paragraph and ignore the mistake from the paper. 5) After that they goes on plat explosive machine this machine the plat completed and came out in just 130SECOUNDS. 6) After that wash the plat by black and white chemical. In that they first wash by the black chemical and they wash by white chemical. 7) After all this process the paper goes to the MAIN PRINTING MACHINE and the print come out with all the process. 8) After that paper goes to the FOLDING MACHINE and the paper fold in the machine

Paper Folders: Folding machines, exclusively used for folding paper, are commonly referred to as paper folders. These machines are typically used for creating letter folds and accordion folds. Other commonly used folds include a half fold, fold-out, double parallel fold, gate fold, and right angle fold.

28

The fold type is set up by adjusting two folding plates. As paper enters the machine, it hits the first plate, is run through rollers that fold the paper, and hits a second plate, after which the final crease is made. Most paper folders allow for a wide range of fold types. Right angle folds require the paper to rotate 90 degrees. Many machines require manual refeeding after the first fold to accomplish this. Entry level paper folders require that the folding plats be adjusted manually, with fold settings specified on the folding plates. Higher-end paper folders will electronically adjust the folding plates for added precision and convenience. Both usually have fine tuning knobs for precise adjustments. Most paper folders pull paper into the machine by use of a friction wheel. This wheel grabs paper by use of friction. Friction-feed paper folders do not work well with glossy paper as the friction wheel slips on the paper's surface. Pneumatic paper folders are ideal for folding glossy paper.

(Folding machine)

29

9) After that the fold papers goes to the WASTE MACHINE and waste of the paper cut by the waste machine. 10) After that CUTTING MACHINE the book ready and goes to the STITCHING MACHINE for stitching of the books. 11) After all the books goes to the BINDING MACHINE for the binding of the books. 12) And after this books are ready for selling.
