One of the greatest inventions made in the history of
mankind is known as Printing which spreads written
knowledge and is used as the main tool for imparting
education to one and all.
To preserve the memory of
Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the art of printing over
six centuries ago and who is regarded as the Father of the
Art of Printing, Delhi Printers’ Association has been
celebrating Printers’ Day every year since 2004 by
organising different types of philanthropic events for the
under-privileged class of the society.

This year’s Printers’ Day was celebrated by DPA at a famous South Delhi orphanage called Chhatravas Chandra Arya Vidya Mandir by serving meals to nearly 500 inmate girl students and staff. To mark the day some members of DPA and the executive body members had assembled there for a brief function at 1.30pm.
The Chhatravas Chandra Arya Vidya Mandir and its
Daryaganj branch known as Arya Anathalaya are run by wellknown
Chandravati Chaudhry Smarak Trust which was
started by the first Deputy Mayor of Delhi Shri Desraj
Chaudhry to propagate the concept of Arya Samaj. After him
it was taken over by his son Padamshri Viresh Pratap
Chaudhry who was a senior legal luminary in the Supreme
Court renowned as a champion of the cause of downtrodden
people of the society. Now the Trust is being
successfully looked after by his son and the current
Secretary Shri Nitinjya Chaudhry, who is not only a sharp and
promising advocate, but he is also always available to
cooperate and extend his assistance to DPA. This illustrious
family Trust is also involved in various social causes.
As soon as the school closed for the day at 2.00pm, the
students were seated in a large dining hall for their mid-day
meal which was served by Executive Committee and some
general members of DPA with active assistance by
orphanage staff.
It was a pleasant coincidence that the day was also
marked by the birthday of Shri Nitinjya Chaudhry. He was
felicitated with a bouquet and a small souvenir. Later on, all
these persons had lunch together with the school staff.
