other documents. We use universally accessible Adobe ADEPT DRM to copy protect your book, while making
them easily accessible to legitimate readers. Our services will help you securely :

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.
