OUR PURPOSE

Good writing deserves
a life beyond the manuscript.

The Pravakar Satapathy Foundation is being built to support writers and the work they bring into the world. We begin with three commitments: help writers print their books, recognise literary work with an annual award, and make space for poets to learn together.

OUR PROGRAMS

the written word.
