Bhartendu Harishchandra Awards conferred by Prakash Javadekar (3)

New Delhi, 9 September 2014: The Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Prakash Javadekar today conferred the Bhartendu Harishchandra Awards for the years 2011 and 2012. Speaking on the occasion, Javadekar said that while the prize money of Bhartendu Awards would be enhanced, a special category of awards to promote original writings focusing on all round development of adolescent girls would be instituted from next time. The objective of the new awards was to encourage the spirit of women empowerment from the adolescent stage of growth for girls. The Minister also announced that the award function would be held every year on 9th September being the birth anniversary of the eminent writer. For the first time these awards were presented on the birth anniversary of renowned Hindi writer Bharatendu Harishchandra.

Elaborating further, the Minister invited suggestions from youngsters regarding the future role of Publications Division in the changed scenario where in the Publications industry had undergone a drastic change both in content and technology. In view of the changed media scenario, Javadekar stated that Publications Division needed to adapt itself through technological tools, e-commerce, business models, online publications etc. Crowd sourcing had become a principal tool to involve people in bringing about change and innovation and enhancing outreach through people’s involvement. The growing literacy in the country was a catalyst to promote relevant contemporary writings. Adding further, Javadekar said that the role of Publications Division was much more beyond mere publishing. As a Government institution the future road map lay in identifying benchmarks so as to ensure people had access to good quality publications. Literature remained the principal catalyst to promote creativity across different sections of society. This was a time tested exercise and it provided the people a sense of satisfaction across all age groups. The Minister also called upon Publications Division to explore the possibility of starting a special series/collection of prominent books/works on eminent personalities.

One of the key initiatives of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to promote books and manuscripts original writing in Hindi, the Bharatendu Harishchandra awards have been implemented by the Publications Division annually since 1983.
