He has also been honoured with 'People of The Year Award' by Limca Book of Records for popularizing comics. His comic book 'United We Stand' was released in 1983 by the then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, and is still very popular among children.
Facts About Cartoonist Pran
Pran saw a cartoon on a vegetable paper bag in his childhood and was inspired to make cartoons. He was really inspired by his drawing teacher in school, who didn’t have a thumb, yet he could draw beautiful drawings. He used to take half hour nap in the afternoon. Youngest child of seven brothers and sisters, he loved the last chapatti his mother used to cook on chullah. Crispy and perfectly cooked. Pran ji never believed in God. He never went to Mandir or even prayed. He was a believer of humanity. After passing with distinction from Sir JJ School of Arts he didn’t get a job of a drawing teacher in school. That's why he started drawing cartoons and created a legacy. He is perhaps the only cartoonist, who created more than 20 different cartoon characters, and each series is still running regularly in different newspapers every week. This he did single handedly."
