How E-shabda Helped Navajivan Trusts

Digitization Drive

Case Study: Helping in carrying forward

Navajivans Legacy

Thatin 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 w eeklies, the Navajivanand theYoung India, both of which we had begun to conduct some timebefore 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.

[from the Declaration of Trust made by Mahatma Gandhi on November 26, 1929.]

*

Ido not believe that I have any property. Nevertheless, anything which by social convention or in law isconsidered mine: anything movable or immovable; books, articles etc. that I have written and may write

hereafter, whether printed or not printed and all their copyright; I endow as my heirs the Navajivan

Institution, whom I hereby declare as my heirs...

[from Gandhiji's Will made on February 20, 1940]

It was a proud

moment for

CYGNET when

Navajivan

chose us as

partners to

carry forward

its legacy by

improving their

publications

with the use of

modern

technology.
