Sub: Proposal for the 28th Moortidevi Award
Dear Sir/Madam,
Bharatiya Jnanpith invites proposal for the 28th Moortidevi Award for the year 2014.
We seek your kind cooperation in the process of selecting our next awardee.
Moortidevi Award, presented annually, is perhaps the only book award in India for a
contemplative and perceptive work which expresses, underlines and illumines human
values rooted in the broad vision of Indian philosophy and cultural heritage through literary
works of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. Books written in all the Indian languages mentioned
in the VIIIth Schedule of Indian Constitution and English are considered.
We shall be grateful if you kindly suggest a suitable book for this award. A Proposal
Form is enclosed, which is to be kindly filled and returned by 15th December, 2014.
Your proposal should ideally be accompanied by the original book, Hindi / English
translation of the book, excerpts of the book in either Hindi or in English and a detailed
note on the author.
Please note that Jnanpith does not entertain self nominations; there is no provision for a
posthumous award and Malayalam and Oriya will be out of purview of this year’s award
since they happened to be the awarded languages in the last two years as per rules.
An early response will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Leeladhar Mandloi

AWARD RULES
1.
The Award instituted by Bharatiya Jnanpith is presented every year for a contemplative
and perceptive work written in any forms of literature 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, reflective and perceptive writing of a higher order would be
considered for the Award.
2.
Only the work in any of the Indian languages and English of a living author, published
at least one year and at the most ten years before the relevant Award year, will be
considered for the Award. That is to say, for the Twenty Eighth Moortidevi Award for
the year 2014, books published between 2004 and 2013 will be considered.
3.
Proposals for the Award may be submitted by the publisher or by any other person or
an institution. The proposal should iedaly be acconpanied by the original book, Hindi/

besides the proposals submitted to it. Only the proposal forms, received by due date,
will be considered in the selection process. In this process, there is no provision for
any reimbursement by Jnanpith and books and articles submitted will not be returned
under any circumstances.

If, during any Award year, the selection Committee does not find any work measuring
upto the required standard, no Award may be declared for that year.
5.
The Selection Committee will be fully empowered to decide all matters regarding the
process of nomination, evaluation and selection.
