Company Profile:

It was just about a decade after independence and the nation was going through the arduous process of building itself anew. Foundations were being laid in all areas so that the edifice of prosperity could be built with confidence. The industry of organized publishing, as we know it today, was only in its infancy and books had not percolated to the bottom rungs of the society. There  were opportunities like the book fairs for people to see, browse books

It was at this time,Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,India's first Prime Minister, realized that alongwith scientific, technological and industrial advancement,equal emphasis should also be given to the social and culture development of the nation and for which he felt that book reading must be widely propagated to develop in people an abiding interest to understand and appreciate the various cultural and traditional heritage of the country. He him self a great writer and lover of books, Nehru concieved the idea of setting up institutions which without bureaucratic controls and direction could work towards this cause. Thus institutions like Sahitya Akademy, Lalit Kala Akademi and NBT came into being as autonomous organizations funded by the Government but with functional autonomy.

Thus National Book Trust, India, came to be established. It was inaugurated in August 1957 by the then president of India, the great philosopher and teacher Dr.S.Rachakrishnan. Speaking on the occasion Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru shared with the select audience his views on the importance of books, the habit of reading and his dream of a book reading society and the role to be played by National Book Trust, India in realizing the dream. The function was also graced by Dr.Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Shri John Mathai, the first chairman of the Trust.
