MOORTIDEVI AWARD
==== Bharatiya Jnanpith has instituted another award, 'Moortidevi Award', named after the revered mother of late Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain. This award is presented every year for a contemplative or creative work which expresses, underlines and illumines human values rooted in the broad vision of Indian philosophy and cultural heritage. The objective of the Award is to foster social and individual commitment to higher values of life through the medium of literature in its larger sense. In that perspective, analytical, cultural, spiritual, creative writings of a high order are considered for the award. But now these do not include creative literary works. The Mooritdevi Award has so far been conferred on 12 learned litterateurs, 8 Hindi and one each of Oriya, Marathi, Kannada and Gujarati.

Bharatiya Jnanpith is managed by a Trust, under the presidentship of the well-known patron of various social and cultural activities, ''Smt. Indu Jain''. ====
