‘Richa Prakashan’ is one of the leading Indian publishing house that primarily serves the interests of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and People of Indian Origin (PIOs).

It publishes and distributes books and journals that deal with the Trinity of Mind, Body & Spirit - subjects like Indian Mythology, Spirituality, Philosophy, Yoga and many such others.

The organization believes in quality than quantity and has over 200works while many are in the pipeline.

Its noteworthy publication has been the 'Shri Raamacharitamaanasa' in Romanized English - which assists PIOs to read the Awadhi text easily. English translation in this text further enhances understanding.

History

‘Richa Prakashan’ is a sister concern of ‘Gupta Prakashan Pvt.Ltd.’ - an almost half a century old company that serves the Indian Education system with its simple and graded educational textbooks developed by a team of noted principals, scholars and child psychologists.

Mr. Gupta, the founder of ‘Richa Prakashan’, on his various visits abroad noted that the younger generation of PIOs was not very interested in reading the Indian scriptures. Though they happily assisted in every way to smoothly organize a religious gathering and through continuous chanting at such gatherings had learnt to recite the text orally, a conscious effort to read the text or understand it was not made by these youngsters. The root cause was identified as their lack of the language in reading the original text in such scriptures.

Moreover, while they are conversant in the language of their ‘Homeland’, ‘Motherland’ languages were a great constraint since the language had almost disappeared with the elderly generation. This restraining factor further led to their disinterest in reading such scriptures.

Noting so, Mr. Gupta made a beginning with the Bhagavad Gita wherein 'Romanization' was introduced. The original Hindi/Sanskrit text was Romanized for a young reader’s ease. This system helped the young PIOs to overcome language constraints. Keeping the international audience in mind, he made no compromise with the content and print quality of the publication while also pricing it reasonably. The book met with a huge success and encouraged him to pursue further in the field.

Gradually, with growing demand and help of NGOs in specific countries, more and more books were developed with Roman letters in them to cater to the resident PIO population. The organization’s success could be seen in the younger PIOs now carrying their own copy of such books to temples or religious gatherings. Subsequently, bright and colourful pictures were also introduced to retain a very young reader’s interest in the books.

Riding on the success, the management was now confident of venturing into the unfound territory of Regional Indian languages like Tamil, Bangla, Gujarati and International languages like Dutch, French, amongst others. This could cater to demographics of language-specific PIO population. These efforts reaped huge benefits and opened up avenues for more such books in many other languages too.

The management ensured to offer substantial discounts &/or special customizations to those wishing to donate/distribute these publications so as to encourage reading of the holy texts on a large scale.

With his quality products selling across the world, Mr. Gupta was now inundated with offers by authors, institutions, individuals, organizations, NGOs and many others to print their material and supply. They knew of the cost advantage to print their product from India would be to their benefit. Mr.Gupta also left no stone unturned to meet the expectations of such inquiries with high-quality supplies of customized calendars, diaries, brochures, visiting cards, magazines, reports, books and other such items exactly as per vendor’s specifications

Soon, priests wished to import good-quality puja and allied items from India. The priests, who were already cheated by other Indian suppliers, found solace in quality items timely supplied by ‘Richa Prakashan’.

Today, the organization humbly boasts of supplying its publications and many other puja-allied items across the world and continues to look for greater avenues to serve fellow brothers and sisters everywhere.
