Sarbajanin Basanti Durga Puja Committee, Netaji Nagar, Nagpur has instituted award in memory of Late Kalyani Haldar for outstanding contribution in different fields of Art, Culture and Bengali literature.
In a colourful function on the the eve of 12th April 2011, Sukumar was presented this award for his excellence in Bengali literature among others..
Sukumar, like his poetic frugality, is a spartan in speech. He is the Creative Editor of 'Khanan', the only Bengali Little Magazine of Vidarbha. A little more about Sukumar, who is averse to publicity and is leading a self-exiled life in Maharashtra. He was born on 14th January 1962 in Balarampur village in the Purulia District of Bengal. He had his childhood days in Jhalda, a small town surrounded by hills, jungle, falls and rivers. One of his poetry works in local dialect of Jhalda, has initiated a storm of controversy. The book has been awarded by 'Durer Kheya' of Kanpur as the best book of the year (1999). His works has widely been translated in Marathi, Hindi, Kannad, Urdu, English and Telugu languages. We are amazed at the effortless ease with which he courses into the various tributaries of literature besides poetry and drawings. He has been awarded "Ekhon Kabita Puraskar (1997)' for the best poetry, 'Maya Megh Puraskar (1998)' for the best short story, 'Mahadiganta Puraskar (2000)' for the best editing and Sadbhabna Puraskar in 2009. Little Magazine Library O Gabeshana Kendra of Kolkata, All India Radio, Nagpur, Kabi Pushparani Smriti Sangsad, Bhilai and many other academies invited and felicitated him on different occasions. His creativity had widely been compiled in different "Who's Who' of prominence. Besides he has been awarded with the prestigious 'Sahitya Setu Puraskar (2001)' for his sincere contribution to the world of Bengali literature. Moreover his well-researched papers presented in different occasions triggered the mankind for his different and unparallal evaluation on specific issues. Recently on 30th December 2005 his edited journal 'KHANAN' had been awarded 'Munshi Premchand Award' as the Best Little Magzine of India' at Jalpaiguri Book Fair. As on date his published works are 'Manush Hey' (1986) ,'Mangso O Manisha' (1987),'Mayer Baper Bari' (1989, 2nd Edition),'Aamader Parjyatan' (1996), 'Chhannamoteer Kuhu'(2006, 2nd Edition) (Eng Translation ~ 'Bohemian Songs' (1999) by B Sudipta),'Lal Leel Hoeelda Tin dikey Jhaeelda' (1998), 'Fanimansar Ulu'(2000), 'Libidore Haarmala' (2000), 'Padya Pratibeshi' (2001), 'Gadya Pratibeshi' (2002), 'Rajaneer Neel' (2004) and 'Aamar Katiye Otha' (2004). He prefers working on different tributaries at a time. Presently he is working on his forthcoming poetry collections titled 'Aamar Sonnet', 'Hatao Yaar', 'Kabitapath' and 'Roomar Jannye', essay books titled 'Susamachar' and 'Shilpo ebong Uttaran' and few more creative works like 'Ulanga Diary Theke', 'Unsung Days', 'Chingri Fisher Deem', 'Hriday', and couple of books yet to be named. He is bit slow in processing his creations, as he believes in spontaneity. His creation can only be compared with the virgin dew drops. Most probably he defined it as the 'silent notation' in his poems. Whatever it may be, with his non-stop creations, everybody thus experience the flow of his witty love and finest feelings towards life and literature.
Sri P R Sarkar, the President of Sarbajanin Basanti Durga Puja Committee, handed over the award to Sukumar. Sukumar also presented his selected poems during the occasion. Later Ranjit Acharya presented selected poems of Sukumar composed in the regional dialect of Purulia,
Two more one-act plays of ESHONA also staged in between to grace the occasion. Purnima Das and Ranjit Acharya compered the programme.
