Ananda Puraskar
The Ananda Puraskar (lit. 'Ananda Award') is an award for Bengali literature awarded annually by the ABP Group to writers using Bengali, usually from West Bengal, India.
History
The award can be traced to a comment by Annada Shankar Ray ruing the absence of literary awards in Bengal. It was started on 20 April 1958 and has been given in the same month since. Initially, there were two awards, in memory of Prafulla Kumar Sarkar and Suresh Chandra Majumdar, the founders of Anandabazar Patrika. Another award was started in 1984 in memory of Ashok Kumar Sarkar to commemorate the golden jubilee of Desh. All three awards were merged in 2000.[1]
