Ludhiana, January 27, 2024: During the executive meeting of Offset Printers’ Association (OPA), held on 26 January 2024 at Ludhiana, the house unanimously decided to confer the ‘Print Shree’ award for the year 2024 to A Karmeham.
Chartered President of the Salem District Offset Printers’ Association Karmeham is known for his work on history of Ziegenbaig at Tarangambadi and the museum concentrates on the impact of Tamil printing history exhibiting machines and accessories from the 19th century. He has done a lot for the improvement of the printing industry of Tamilnadu, by procuring the UDR worth 2.3 crore in the year 1987-1992. Always prefer to remain low profile. Karmeham is the best example of selfless working for the cause of printers’ especially in the Salem region of Tamilnadu.
OPA instituted the ‘Print Shree’ award to recognise the technicians responsible for revolution of printing in India and to remember the contributions of the masters of the great art-Printing. The award is given to a veteran who has devoted himself/herself completely in the field of Printing for the development & upliftment of the industry and welfare of the fellow brethren. The award will carry a Plaque, Shawl, Siropa and Citation and will be conferred during the glittering function of OPA sometime later.
Speaking on the occasion, Kushl Kumar Jain, Sr. Vice-President of OPA said, Printing is the mother of all revolution and is the greatest invention of mankind till date. No serious efforts are visible to recognise and remember the talented persons responsible for development and growth of printing. In the absence of bestowing the due honour to the deserving, the society is taken over by unscrupulous elements. He further added that today we can notice how talented, and selfless working people are being ignored and that society is caught up in this vicious circle. It is a most humble effort of OPA to recognize the talent of the most deserving persons of print society.
