On the 14th of February, 2018, students of the Mass Communication Department of St. Xavier's University got the wonderful opportunity to visit the Printing House of Times of India, Salt Lake. The visit was a wonderful and enlightening experience.

They were accompanied by Dr. Manali Bhattacharya, Prof.-in-Charge of the Department. The officials of the TOI press addressed the student on the challenging the task of producing the newspaper under a very strict time with optimum utilisation of resources. Students were divided into two groups. Each group was given a guided tour by a supervisor of the press.

The students were shown how the production was divided into different stages, how the paper passed from one machine to another, how various colours were integrated and final papers getting ready. Thousands of copies were printed per hour. The editions printed were: The Times of India, The Calcutta Times and Ei Samay.
