The organisation secured three prestigious awards, reaffirming its commitment to quality, creativity, and impactful publishing.
The awards won by Prints Publications and its children’s imprint Advit Toys are as follows:

A Recognition of Excellence in Indian Publishing
The FIP Awards for Excellence in Book Production, instituted in 1979, are regarded as the most prestigious accolades in Indian publishing. The awards recognise outstanding achievements in book design, content presentation, production quality, and publishing standards, with hundreds of entries from across the country evaluated each year by an eminent jury of experts. Winning across three distinct categories—children’s books, academic reference, and journals—not only highlights the versatility of Prints Publications but also underscores its commitment to delivering high-quality works across genres and readerships.
Celebrating Collaboration and Shared Vision
Each award-winning title represents a unique facet of Prints Publications’ mission to advance knowledge and creativity:
- Books – Defence Force under the Advit Toys imprint, fosters curiosity and imagination among children, nurturing values of courage and patriotism.
- AI for Sushasan (Good Governance), developed with the Indian Institute of Public Administration, reflects the intersection of technology and governance, providing a scholarly yet accessible perspective on how artificial intelligence can shape public administration for the future.
- National Security, published along with Vivekananda International Foundation, brings rigour and thought leadership to critical national and global security issues, reinforcing the importance of informed dialogue in shaping policy and strategy.
These collaborations highlight Prints Publications’ ability to work closely with leading academic, policy, and cultural institutions to create publications that are both relevant and impactful.
