The Rama Mehta Writing Grant was set up in 2021 to nurture the creative talent of women writers. Though the grant is offered to only one writer from every language, the aim is to encourage as many writers as we can and help provide a platform for their creative expression.

To this end, we offer workshops by veteran writers from all four languages to our shortlisted candidates. The shortlist and final selection is made by a distinguished jury that follows a rigorous selection process. We believe that true empowerment comes from making your voice heard, and we would like this Grant to help as many women find their voice and creative expression as possible…
