 Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize, existing since 2018, is a US $10,000 prize,is a platform for World Peace, Literature, Art, Education and Human Rights, and has twofold purpose: to award the finest in Indian literature, as honorable legacy to Rabindranath Tagore and to recognize positive and lasting impact on society and its change with our Social Achievement award.

TagorePrize is promoting the culture and beauty of literature just as Rabindranath Tagore had taught us to, but also, the culture and society of tolerance, harmony and nondiscrimination. TagorePrize 2019. is dedicated to children and their rights, emphasizing the need for free education, equality and carefree childhood, promoting and inspiring actions against child labor and child exploitation.

By our unvarying support for literature and children rights, we have started initial 10 000 books donation of our last year winner One Hundred Poems of Kabir translated from Hindi into English by Rabindranath Tagore, to schools throughout India. In our bid for the revival of the poetry in India and enabling education for children, we will donate one book per school, with the hope that our continuous efforts and actions will result in inspiring and enriching minds and souls of millions of children.

This year TagorePrize's program is making us one of the most expected literature award presentations, at which we will accommodate 300 high profile attendees, authors, poets, intellectuals, diplomats, presidential delegation from Taiwan, Ambassadors, executive directors from publishing houses such as PanMacmillan India, HarperCollins Publishers India, Penguin, Random House and some other publishers, management executives from Jaipur Literary Festival whom we are partnering with on their numerous literary events (London Festival in June, Kabira Festival in Varanasi in November and Jaipur Literary Festival in January).
