Pratham Books is working hard to bring Books in Every Child's Hand.
Basic Information
Bengaluru, Karnataka based Pratham Books is a not-for-profit children's book publisher that was set up in 2004 to publish good quality, affordable books in many Indian languages. Their mission is to see ‘a book in every child’s hand’ and they have spread the joy of reading to millions of children in India. In the past 16 years, they have published over 3000 books and distributed over 14 million copies of their storybooks and 16 million story cards. In 2015, Pratham Books increased its footprint by going digital. As an industry leader, they were one of the very first publishers in the country to open license their content. All this content is now available on StoryWeaver, which is a digital platform that hosts stories in languages from India and beyond, so that every child can have an endless stream of stories in their mother tongue to read and enjoy. The stories can be read, translated, versioned or downloaded for free. All stories on the platform are openly licensed. Their ‘Donate-a-book’ initiative is a unique crowd-funding platform for children’s books. The platform helps to bridge the gap between individuals who want to help children read and those organizations, schools and individuals who need books for children. At Pratham Books, they are shaping a new, innovative approach to multilingual publishing because we believe that every child needs good books to read in a language of their choice.
