Instituted in 1961, the award is bestowed only on Indian writers writing in Indian languages included in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India and English, with no posthumous conferral. From 1965 till 1981, the award consisted of a citation plaque, a cash prize of ₹ 1 lakh (equivalent to ₹ 48 lakh&#32;or&#32;US$73,000 in 2017), and a bronze replica of Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom. The first recipient of the award was the Malayalam writer G. Sankara Kurup who received the award in 1965 for his collection of poems, Odakkuzhal (The Bamboo Flute), published in 1950. The cash prize has been revised to ₹ 11 lakh (equivalent to ₹ 12 lakh&#32;or&#32;US$18,000 in 2017) and out of twenty-three eligible languages the award has been presented for works in fifteen languages. The award has been conferred upon fifty-seven writers including seven women authors. The most recent recipient of the award is Hindi fiction writer and essayist Krishna Sobti (pictured) who was awarded for the year 2017. (Full list...)
