So, it’s a project that I’ve started in honour of my grandfather to recognise authors, and through it, I aim to improve the literary landscape for all Indianchildren’s authors.”The Binod Kanoria Awards for Children’s Literature has been set up in honour of Shree Binod Kanoria, a Mumbai industrialist who loved children and books. It celebrates the best of original Indian children’s writing and illustration. The award recognises that high quality creative content for children has an important role to play in a child’s life. And that children’s literature is a unique and valuable space in the literary field that merits an exclusive award tailored specifically for this genre.The award will include a cash prize with a citation as a much needed incentive to create original works of high quality writing and illustration.We believe that such an award will encourage the creators of children’s literature to aspire to greater creative heights. We will also help children and parents chose books that will support the reading habit and help expand the market for Indian children’s books.Each of the awards are judged by a jury of three drawn from the most experienced and respected names in children’s publishing, education and library/reading professionals.This year the jury for the English Early and Middle Grade comprised: Anushka Ravishankar, Children’s Author and Editor; Anita Roy, Children’s Author and Editor; and Dalbir Kaur Madan, Library and Reading Specialist.The Hindi jury comprised Shree Arun Kamal, Hindi Poet and Sahitya Akademi Award winner; Sonika Kaushik, Educationist and Literacy Reading Specialist; and Kamlesh Joshi, Teacher Educator, Azim Premji Foundation.The Illustrator Awards jury comprises Sushil Shukla, Founder and editor Ektara Foundation; Indrapramit Roy, Artist and Professor of Fine Arts MS University Baroda; and Shilpa Ranade, Animator, designer and Professor at the IDC, IIT, Mumbai.If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
