Explanation
The Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar 2025 was announced on June 18, 2025, by the Sahitya Akademi's Executive Board. The awards were declared for 23 Indian languages, recognizing young writers (aged 35 and below) for their outstanding contributions to literature. For the year 2025, the Akademi explicitly stated that no award was conferred in the Dogri language. The Sahitya Akademi recognizes a total of 24 languages (22 languages from the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, plus English and Rajasthani). Since 23 winners were announced and Dogri was the only language without a recipient this year, both statements are correct. Awardees receive a copper plaque and a cash prize of Rs. 50,000. Notable 2025 winners include Advait Kottary (English) for Siddhartha: The Boy Who Became the Buddha and Parvati Tirkey (Hindi) for Phir Ugna.
