List of Sahitya Akademi Award winners for

Konkani

Sahitya Akademi Award is given each year, since

1955, by Sahitya Akademi (India's National Academy Sahitya Akademi Award for
of Letters), to writers and their works, for their Konkani
outstanding contribution to the upliftment of Indian Award for contributions to Konkani literature
literature and Konkani literature in particular.[1][2]

When the Sahitya Akademi recognised Konkani in

1975 as an independent and literary language, one of
the important factors was the literary heritage of Romi
Konkani since the year 1556. However, after Konkani
in the Devanagari script was made the official
language of Goa in 1987, the Sahitya Akademi has
supported only writers in the Devanagari script.
