OPA remembers the ‘Father of Modern Printing’ with member families.
Every year Gutenberg Festival is celebrated by Offset Printers’ Association (OPA) to remember the father of Modern Printing. The event is celebrated on day of HOLI festival for the networking of the families of the members. Gutenberg Festival at Ludhiana features networking between member families and remembrance of India’s great cultural values and heritage. This year OPA Carnival celebrated 21st Gutenberg Festival on 10 March 2020 at F2, Raceway, South City, Ludhiana.
Welcoming the participating member families, Mr. Parveen Aggarwal, President OPA said, “The main purpose of these celebrations is to guide the members for living stress free life. Relaxation has been shown to reduce the incidence and severity of stress-related diseases and disorders in many patients.”
More than 34 member families participated. “The family gathering in the name of ‘Father of Modern Printing’ is the great step of OPA,” said Mr. Hans Raj Chopra, Finance Secretary. The event was marked by many fun activities like games, puzzles, talent contests and Lucky draw etc. Children of printers were felicitated for winning at the fun events that took place on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kushl Kumar Jain, Vice President said, “Our children are assets, it becomes a proud moment not only for the family of the child but for the entire OPA family to see our children shining.”
Mr. Parveen Aggarwal felicitated two young talents – a daughter of a printer from Ludhiana for producing ‘Cosmetic Bakery’ products and a young singer, son of a Muktsar based printer, whose first music album just got released.
Member families enjoyed the fun games and funny contests, like balloon bursting, cat walk, singing, laughing, and many more. They were also presented gift hampers by the association.
