About us

Built on clarity, accuracy, and a commitment to education.

Established in 1971, Uttam Prakashan is a Maharashtra-based educational publishing house with a legacy of over 55 years in creating trusted academic resources for students and educators.

Our journey began with determination rather than resources. Founded with limited means, the company was built through the relentless dedication of its founder, who single-handedly took on every responsibility—from writing and editing content to marketing, distribution, and building relationships with schools, teachers, and booksellers. Through years of perseverance, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to education, Uttam Prakashan earned the trust of generations of learners across Maharashtra.

Today, we publish over 3 lakh books annually, serving students across the Science, Commerce, and Arts streams for Std. X, XI, and XII under the Maharashtra State Board curriculum. Our catalogue features more than 50 titles, including our widely recognised Papers with Solutions, Practical Handbooks, Application-Based Test Series, Question & Answer Guides, and Language Guides.

Among our publications, the Papers with Solutions series has become one of our most recognised offerings, helping establish Uttam Prakashan as a trusted name in Maharashtra. Many teachers and educators continue to associate our brand with the books they studied from during their own academic years—a testament to the lasting impact of our publications.

At Uttam Prakashan, quality has always been our highest priority. Every publication is developed with a strong emphasis on accuracy, clarity, and exam relevance. We continuously strive to minimise errors and deliver dependable learning resources that students and teachers can trust.

As we continue to grow, our purpose remains unchanged: to make quality education more accessible and to empower as many students as possible with reliable learning resources that support their academic success and lifelong growth.

Tribute to the founder

Late Champalal H. Jain

27 February 1941 — 29 March 2026

Vision

While teaching, Mr. C. H. Jain noticed a gap in education. He observed that many students were inclined toward rote learning from their books instead of conceptual understanding. Upon reviewing the books available in the market, he found that concepts were explained in a very complicated manner. Being a B.Sc. in Chemistry himself, he was confident that he could do a much better job.

The beginning

In 1971, 30-year-old C. H. Jain started Noble Publishing House. His determination to bridge the gap made him write the famous Uttam’s Papers with Solutions. He ensured that complex concepts were explained in the simplest way possible and included every exam-centric question so that students needed nothing else.

The journey

What began as determination soon gained recognition across Maharashtra. Science students widely referred to Uttam’s Papers with Solutions for its simplicity. Soon, students realised that the questions they studied from these books appeared in exams, earning their trust. Demand surged, and C. H. Jain made a commitment to keep the content quality intact and the series exam-centric.

Legacy today

Even today, while science students prepare for their entrance exams, they rely on Uttam’s Papers with Solutions for their State Board preparations. It remains among the bestselling State Board study materials for the science stream. More than five decades and counting, teachers and students have continued to keep their favourite Uttam’s Papers with Solutions at number one.

Mr. C. H. Jain passed away on 29 March 2026, leaving behind his legacy and his close-to-the-heart Uttam’s Papers with Solutions.

We honour the remarkable contributions and sacrifices he made to make this series Maharashtra’s most loved. To keep his spirit alive, the team at Noble Publishing House has taken an oath to carry forward his learnings: keep the quality top-notch, the answers simplified, and the questions exam-centric, so that it remains number one for generations to come.

Mr. C. H. Jain: a name that will echo through every page of this series for generations to come. May his blessings be upon all of us.
