Printing Division / Digitization Division



 

We have installed a sophisticated printing machine for achieving self - reliance in our research & publication activities. The Printing Division was formally inagurated by Dr. K.Venkatasubramanian, Member, Union Planning Commission in January last. He took the first print and dedicated the same to the Academy for its printing and publication activities. Upanishads like Kathopanisad, Taittiriyopanishad, Mandukyopanishad, Mundakopanisad etc., have already been printed and are ready for publication. A well experienced printer is looking after these activities.





The Digitization Station is equipped with Umax make scanner, Macintosh software & hard disk, sharp make Monitor, Yamaha CD Writer, Macally Mouse & Keyboard.

We are scanning our collection of manuscripts. Besides, we are formatting, saving and writing the same to CDs for preservation and retrieval. Presently, we are scanning Ramayana and the same is stored in around 71 CDs and its work is in progress. Nammalwar Thiruvaymozhi is also being scanned and is already stored in 21 CDs. The objective of this division is to scan the manuscripts available in the collection and provide them for reference in CDs. Moreover, we are also planning to enter into an agreement with the Indira Gandhi National Center for the Arts, New Delhi, for scanning some selected manuscripts of Atharvaveda.
