India's 'Proud to Be a Printer' Badge Puts Press Workers Back in the Picture
Shared with SuperPrinters · 8/29/2026 · Source: screenprintindia.com
A slogan credited to Prof. Kamal Mohan Chopra has become a recurring symbol of professional identity in India's print community, anchored to Printers' Unity Day on 22 October each year. The Offset Printers Association introduced the annual observance in 2021, asking members to wear the badge as a show of solidarity. Documented activity around the phrase spans student competitions, trade seminars and association events, though claimed origins from 2013 and assertions of it being a world-first campaign remain unverified by independent public sources.
