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.

旁遮普语书籍的前线出版商

出版业在传播知识方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在现代，许多地方出版商通过他们的母语向社会提供知识。旁遮普语是北印度各州最受欢迎的语言之一。旁遮普、昌迪加尔和德里的许多出版商都在用旁遮普语出版书籍。本研究旨在概述和分析2004-2013十年来各类出版商在旁遮普出版书籍的增长和贡献。该研究向不同类别的出版商介绍了书籍数量、旁遮普语书籍的主要出版商、文学、政府和学术机构作为出版商的贡献，以及印度北部旁遮普语图书的地理分布。研究表明，大多数书籍都是由商业出版商用旁遮普语出版的。与其他州相比，旁遮普邦是用旁遮普语出版书籍最多的地区，《Lokkeet Prakashan》是其中最大的出版商。这是第一项评估旁遮普语书籍出版商的研究，也是对旁遮普语出版物感兴趣的从业者和学者的有用信息来源。
