NCBA. New Central Book Agency Private Limited. The largest vertically integrated STM publishing group of eastern India with the fastest growing marketing network across the Afro-Asian countries. NCBA started its operations way back in 1921. During the initial years, it imported in bulk the publications of reputed British and American publishers. This marked a formidable overseas business connection of the Company. It took twenty years for the Company to establish itself as one of the leading publishers of textbooks in the then undivided Bengal. During the early forties when the Indian publishing was at its infancy and when the Indian medical book market depended solely on imported books, NCBA ventured into the publication of advanced level texts in Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, and Medicine. Today NCBA, has its own fully computerized typesetting, web printing, and automatic binding procedure facilitating swift and massive production operations. Of late, diversification, modernization, and international collaborations are receiving top priorities in all managerial decision-making deliberations in the Company.

From the comping desk
Distribution of complimentary copies among the academicians is always on the top of our priority list. We are generous and judicious at the same time. In spite of the mounting pressure of fringe benefit tax, we try our best to send the leading academicians the specimen copies at their permanent addresses. But for that we need accurate information. Please help us.
