Pratham Books is a non-profit trust that publishes high quality books for children at affordable prices and in multiple Indian languages.
Since the beginning of 2004, Pratham Books has managed to create a paradigm shift in the world of publishing through our unique model. We have proven that it is possible to develop high-quality books for children that are affordable and therefore more accessible. We have published over 170 children’s titles in fourteen languages including English, Hindi, Marathi and Kannada. Typically, these books are printed in four colours with attractive illustrations spanning 20-32 pages. We have published stories written by famous authors such as the late Indian President, Dr. Zakir Hussain, Olivia Fraser and Manorama Jafa. Almost every book is under Rs. 25 in order to ensure that each and every child has access to books. Over 7 million books and 9 million story cards have been shipped out across the nation to libraries, schools and other centres.
Pratham Books was created in order to:
- Provide children with access to low cost, high quality books
- Publish books in multiple Indian languages
- Provide publishers with a platform to create affordable reading material for children.
- Bring authors, illustrators, and producers of books together to builda reading country.
- Urge the corporate sector to actively participate in this process
