Singh$ #Department of Library and Information Science, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar - 143 005, India $Department of Library and Information Science, University of Delhi, Delhi - 110 007, India *E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Publishing industry plays a vital role to spread knowledge. In modern days many local publishers are making knowledge available to the society through their native languages. Punjabi is one of the most popular languages of North Indian states. Many publishers from Punjab, Chandigarh, and Delhi are publishing books in Punjabi. The present study is attempted to provide the overview and analyse the growth and contribution of publishing books in Punjabi by various types of publishers for the decade 2004-2013. The study presents different categories of publishers with the number of books, major publishers of Punjabi books, the contribution of literary, government and academic institutions as publishers and geographical distribution of Punjabi books from Northern parts of India. The study reveals that most of the books have been published in Punjabi by commercial publishers. Punjab is the leading region to publish maximum books in Punjabi as compared to other states and ‘Lokgeet Prakashan’ is the top publisher among them all. This is the first study assessing book publishers of Punjabi books and a useful source of information for practitioners and academics interested in Punjabi language publications.

  • Proud of Sikh Heritage
    Citation of Qaumi Seva Award presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by SGPC on the historic occasion of the inauguration of Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor on 9th November, 2019 QAUMI SEVA AWARD On the auspicious occasion of 550th Prakash Purab of Sachey Patshah Satguru (True Emperor True Teacher) Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, the Sikh Qaum (community) has been blessed by Akal Purakh (Eternal Entity) and the great Guru Sahibs on this historic occasion; the daily prayers of all the sangat (Congregation), belonging to every nook and corner of the world for decades are being accepted in the Dargah of Akal Purakh (The Almighty God’s Court). As a result and as a first step, a corridor connecting Dera Baba Nanak Sahib and the shrines of Guru Nanak Patshah’s life at Kartarpur Sahib (Pakistan) has been opened for the sangat. On the 550th birth anniversary of Satguru Sachey Patshah Ji, what greater divine gift could the Sikh Sangat have received than for a head of the country to become the Messiah and show political, administrative and diplomatic courage for fulfilling this wish of the Sikh community. It is only by the grace of the Guru that the joy of opening of this corridor of faith, belief and love for humanity has been bestowed upon the person, who himself is deeply in love with Sikhism and greatly devoted to the Guru’s feet. An example of this devotion is the unparalleled contribution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in celebrating the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Maharaj, including the opening of Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor and making Sultanpur Lodhi, the first karambhumi of Guru Sahib, a state-of-the- art smart city.

It was set up in 2004, to fill a gap that existed in the market for high quality, reasonably priced children’s books in a variety of Indian languages. It was aimed at enabling reading among children in the 3 to 14 year age group whom the existing market was not catering to. Pratham Books wanted to democratize reading and its mission statement is “A book in every child’s hand”. At the time that Pratham Books was conceived, Pratham (www.prathambooks.org ) was setting up many reading centres (libraries, resource centres, child centres) around the country and the need for good content was high. There were no publishing sources that were willing to supply this content at affordable costs.
