Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Gandhi bought out the Navjivan weekly on September 7, 1919. Gandhi was the editor of Harijan, Navjivan, Young India, and Indian Opinion. Gandhi's critical writings, however, posed a challenge to the British authorities.
Navjivan felt the need to purchase its printing press since no printing press owner was ready to put their company in danger by publishing reports critical of the government. Gandhi considered poor printing to be his sin (violence). He insisted on legible print, strong paper, and tidy, uncomplicated jackets. The Navjivan Press produced a large number of inexpensive books throughout his lifetime. His Gujarati autobiography cost 12 annas. This book was also published in Devanagari at a low cost.
