The renowned Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize has named poet-critic Sukrita Paul Kumar as its sixth recipient for her book, “Salt & Pepper: Selected Poems”.
This prestigious award recognizes outstanding literary work from around the globe, promoting world peace, literature, art, education, and human rights.
At the award ceremony, Kumar received a cash prize of USD 5,000, a Tagore statue, and a certificate acknowledging her significant contribution to literature.

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to social welfare, Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjee was awarded the Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize for Social Achievement.
This further signifies the award’s dedication to highlighting both artistic and societal impacts.

The award’s commitment to both artistic and social impact makes it truly unique and impactful.
Last year, the prize was awarded to acclaimed journalist-author Raj Kamal Jha for his novel “The City and The Sea.” This legacy of recognizing distinguished literary voices continues with Sukrita Paul Kumar’s well-deserved win, and one can expect the Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize to continue its important role in the years to come.
