Sahitya Kala Samaan
Kunwar Viyogi Sahitya Kala Samaan is awarded to iconic cultural stalwarts whose contribution goes beyond great writing, creative art, music or theatre- in making Dogri alive, vibrant and available to the world. A Dogri icon whose cultural ethos and depth of thought is cultivated from the region known for its kindness, peace, patriotism and divinity.
Kunwar Viyogi Sahitya Kala Samaan is bestowed on distinguished personalities who have dedicated themselves to their craft, language, region and expanded the reach and flavour of being an indomitable Dogra or perhaps – one who has taken the fragrance of ‘Dogri and Dogra Spirit’ far and wide through translation, drama, cinema, TV, digitalisation, musical adaptation, experimentation and innovation.
Padma Shri Padma Sachdev
Padma Sachdev was an Indian poet and novelist. She was the first modern woman poet of the Dogri language. She also wrote in Hindi. She published several poetry collections, including Meri Kavita Mere Geet, which won the SahityaAkademi Award in 1971.
Kunwar Viyogi Memorial Trust has been instituted to identify talent amongst youth and create opportunities for them to showcase their virtuosity. The idea was to make the youth ambassadors of Dogri language and bring in a sense of ownership amongst them, so that through their multiple talents they not only promote the language but also gain from it.
