The Mathrubhumi has straddled tradition and technology in successfully assimilating change from 1923 to our digital era. The quantum leap from the age of the letterpress to frontier advances in the media environment has emphasised preserving human values, matching the vision of the founding fathers K P Kesava Menon, K Madhavan Nair and K Kelappan, who were in the forefront of our freedom struggle. An entire pantheon of Indian sociopolitical leadership has paid tribute to the epochmaking contribution of Mathrubhumi in the evolution of modern Malayalee society. In commemoration of Mahatmaji’s visit to our premises on Januray 13, 1934, a yearlong activity Mahatmaji and Mathrubhumi 75 years, was inaugurated by Mr Rajmohan Gandhi in Kozhikode on January 13, 2010.
