The first printing press in India was established in 1576 by the Jesuit missionaries in Goa. The first book printed in India was “Doctrina Christa” in 1578. There was a printing press in Pulikail village in Tirunalveli District in South India.
The Portuguese missionaries were the first to bring printing press to Goa in the mid-sixteenth century. The first books were printed in Konkani language. By 1674, about 50 books had been printed in Konkani and Kanara Languages. Catholic priests printed the first Tamil book in 1579 at Cochin. They printed the first Malayalam book in 1713.
