'''Kumar Suvarana Chandrak''' or the '''Kumar Gold Medal''' is a literary award given by Kumar Trust, [[Ahmedabad]], India since 1944.

In 1950, [[Chandravadan Mehta]] refused to accept Kumar Chandrak.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |last = Trivedi|first = Dr. Ramesh M.|date = 2015|title = Arvachin Gujarati Sahityano Itihas (History of Modern Gujarati Literature)|location = Ahmedabad|publisher = Adarsh Prakashan|page = 414|isbn = 978-93-82593-88-1}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite encyclopedia |title = Kumar Suvarna Chandrak|encyclopedia = Gujarati Sahitya Kosh (Encyclopedia of Gujarati Literature)|year = 1996|publisher = Gujarati Sahitya Parishad|location = Ahmedabad|volume = 3|page = 104}}</ref>

== History ==
The medal was established in 1944, by [[Yashwant Pandya]], an author contributing to ''Kumar''. Initially, Gujarati authors [[Balwantray Thakore]], [[Vishnuprasad Trivedi]] and [[Tribhuvandas Luhar|Sundaram]] had served in a committee for the selection of awardee. Subsequently [[Ramnarayan V. Pathak]] and [[Anantrai Raval]] served on the committee. From 1983 to 2002, there is no expressed declaration of this medal, but from 2003 it has been started again. It was renamed from Kumar Chandrak (Kumar Medal) to Kumar Suvarna Chandrak (Kumar Gold Medal) in 2003.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://webgurjari.in/2015/09/14/91-years-old-young-kumar-deserves-eternal-care_2/|title=એકાણુ વર્ષના જુવાન ‘કુમાર’ને અમરત્વનું વરદાન આપો- ૨|last=Pandya|first=Rajnikumar|date=September 14, 2015|website=WebGurjari|language=gu|trans-title=91 years old Kumar deserves immortality|access-date=3 February 2017}}</ref>
