Cue taken from Diwali issues’ success
 
PUNE: Taking a cue from the special Diwali issues which make a turnover of crores of rupees in the Marathi publication industry every year,  some Christian magazines and mediapersons in Pune and other parts of the State have now started publishing Christmas special issues, which are getting a good response.
 
City-based 'Dnyanodaya,' a monthly which is being published since 1842 and is the oldest Marathi periodical, has been publishing a Christmas special issue for the past few years. The issue edited by Ashok Angre has special articles related to the Christmas festival. Another Christian monthly 'Niropya,' published since 1903 and edited by  Fr Joe Gaikwad from Snehasadan here, has also brought out its 72-page Christmas special.
 
'Suvarta', a Catholic Marathi monthly published since the past few decades from Vasai in Thane district too has come out with a special Christmas issue.  
 
'Marathi Power' weekly which has completed two years of publication released  its December 17 issue as the Christmas special issue.
 
The weekly is edited by senior journalist John Gajbhiv. The 154-page special issue had Pune Bishop Thomas Dabre  as its guest editor.  Gajbhiv said that the special issue has generated more revenue as compared to last year. The issue has articles by Christian literates Fr Francis D'Britto, Dr Cecilia Carvalho. Sunil Shyamsundar Adhav and Dr Subhash Patil.
 
‘Alaukik’ is another Christmas issue published for the first time this year. The 154-page issue too has several colour pages and articles by  Mrudula Ghodke, head of Marathi news division of Delhi All India Radio station, and an interview of comedian Johny Liver.  The issue is edited and published by Akash Dayanand Thombre.
