The award, presented by IMPaCT trustee Paramita Panda and chief guest Devdas Chhotray, included a citation, a trophy, and a Rs 7 lakh cash prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is not only encouraging but a proud moment for a writer to receive this recognition from her homeland,\u201d Sahoo said. Known for her strong voice on gender and social justice, Sahoo has long been a champion for women\u2019s rights and an impactful figure in Odia literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sarala Puraskar was founded in 1980 by Odia industrialist Dr. Bansidhar Panda and his wife, Ila Panda, and has consistently honored the state\u2019s literary talent for the last 45 years. The award\u2019s significance and the increased cash prize reflect IMFA\u2019s ongoing commitment to supporting Odia art and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Sahoo, renowned sculptor Sudarshan Sahoo and singer Tansen Singh received the Ila-Bansidhar Panda Kala Samman for their lifetime contributions to art. Both were presented with a citation and a Rs 2.5 lakh cash award. \u201cI am deeply grateful for this recognition and hope to continue singing for as long as I live,\u201d Singh shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paramita Panda expressed her pride in the legacy of the Sarala Puraskar, saying, \u201cWe are thrilled to be part of this milestone journey, which has grown to become one of Odisha\u2019s most respected honors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event highlighted Odisha\u2019s vibrant cultural heritage, bringing together talents from literature, music, and art and celebrating the state\u2019s dedication to fostering artistic excellence for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photograph: Sarojini Sahoo (Centre) receiving Sarala
