Hey !!
The Jnanpith Award is an Indian literacy award presented annually by the Bharatiya Jnanpith award presented annually by the Bharatiya Jnanpith Trust to an author for their outstanding contribution towards literature.
Instituted in 1961, the award is bestowed only on the Indian writers who have been writing in Indian languages, included in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of Indian and in English. As of 2015, the cash prize has been revised to 11 lakh with a bronze replica of ''SARASWATI. G SHANKARA KURUP'' was the first recipient in 1965.
