The beautiful thing about the people working at the Press is that they come from neighbouring villages and have all been trained on the job. This is not a coincidence, this is in line with one of the goals of Auroville listed in its Charter : “Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress…”

All of them have developed qualities indispensable in this work: a sharp eye, an unfailing attention to details, meticulousness, a fine sense of colors and, at the same time, an extreme patience in the preparation and a good speed of execution.

If one asks them what they feel about the press, two elements surface: first they are proud of their skills, they could not have believed at the beginning that they would be capable of doing what they do. Secondly they feel happy that they still continue to progress in an atmosphere which is the one of a family.
