DPA commemorates inventor of printing

To preserve the memory of Johannes Gutenberg, who is regarded as the father of the art of printing, Delhi Printers’ Association (DPA) has been celebrating Printers’ Day on February 24 every year.

This year, they organised a function at the centrally located orphanage Arya Anathalaya in Daryaganj where DPA’s executive committee members, former Presidents and some printer members served lunch to nearly 800 inmate students. As a special gesture EC member Vijay Goel distributed chocolates to all students.

DPA also holds social cause events like free general health and eye check-up camps where about 500 employees of local printing units as well as underprivileged people benefit with free eye check-ups, medicines and spectacles. In addition, DPA arranges books from printer publishers to be distributed to needy students, with the aim of Education for Every Child.
