illustrated titles translated into Hindi. With an aim to provide fun and informative
reading to children and young adults, Niyogi Books will be launching its youngest

entertain a new generation of book lovers.
Our books and authors have been honoured with several awards and prizes, across

Book Production by the Federation of Indian Publishers and the Voda-fone
Crossword Book Award. We have also won several international awards like SHEPS
Award, Gourmand World Cookbooks Award and Academics’ Choice Awards.
We have always aspired to achieve the highest standards of book-making. Our
tagline ‘Fine publishing within reach’ clearly and succinctly states our vision to
create books that would be a complete resource on a particular subject. It is also
representative of the company’s vision to disperse knowledge, not just through
distribution and making our books easily accessible, but also by creating lasting
memories among our readers.
In August 2018, we opened our first signature bookstore in Kolkata’s College
Street, exclusively for our titles.
