Preserving memories, one page at a time - Eagle Diaries 65 years of exceptional diary craftsmanship.

          The eagle is a majestic bird with broad wings, known for its farsightedness, perseverance, and powerful, soaring flight. 

          In 1956, Mr. M.J. Pratap Singh established a small printing unit called ‘Eagle Press’ with a single machine as a job-work unit, with farsightedness and perseverance in mind. In the following days, it happened that he wanted to give a unique and memorable gift to a special friend. Drawing from his experience as a teacher, Mr. Pratap Singh recognized the value of recording and planning. He saw an opportunity to design and produce a diary at his new press as a gift. The friend was overwhelmed with joy and highly appreciated the gift. This led Mr. Pratap Singh to affirm the importance of planning and time-management products and their potential in the market. This humble beginning laid the foundation for one of India’s oldest and most trusted brands, Eagle Diaries.
