In December 2024, which Hindi writer was awarded the 34th Vyas Samman Puraskar…

The Vyas Samman is a literary award instituted by the K. K. Birla Foundation in 1991, given annually for an outstanding Hindi-language literary work published within the preceding ten years. It carries a citation, a plaque, and a cash prize.

The 34th Vyas Samman, announced in December 2024, was awarded to Suryabala for her novel Kaun Des Ko Vasi: Venu Ki Diary, which explores the cultural and ideological conflicts faced by Indian youth living abroad.

• Rajendra Yadav was a prominent Hindi writer and long-time editor of the magazine Hans, but he passed away in 2013 — well before the 34th Vyas Samman was announced, so he cannot be the 2024 recipient.

• Kumar Vishwas is a well-known Hindi poet associated with kavi sammelan performances and is also active in politics, but he has not been named a Vyas Samman recipient.

• Madhav Hada is a respected Hindi literary critic and scholar known for his work on Rajasthani literature, but he was not the recipient named for the 34th Vyas Samman.

So the 34th Vyas Samman 2024 was awarded to Suryabala.
