==Background==
The [[Bharatiya Jnanpith]], a research and cultural institute founded in 1944 by industrialist [[Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain]] of the [[Sahu Jain family]], conceived an idea in May 1961 to start a scheme "commanding national prestige and of international standard" to "select the best book out of the publications in Indian languages".<ref name=Jnan>{{cite web|url=http://jnanpith.net/awards/jnanpith-award|title=Jnanpith Award @ Bharatiya Jnanpith|access-date=28 May 2016|publisher=Bharatiya Jnanpith|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309070110/http://jnanpith.net/awards/jnanpith-award|archive-date=9 March 2016}}</ref>{{Sfn|Datta|1987|p=298}} In November that year, Rama Jain, the Founder President of the Bharatiya Jnanpith, invited a few literary experts to discuss various aspects of the scheme. Jain, along with [[Kaka Kalelkar]], [[Harivansh Rai Bachchan]], [[Ramdhari Singh Dinkar]], [[Jainendra Kumar]], [[Jagdish Chandra Mathur]], Prabhakar Machwe, Akshaya Kumar Jain, and Lakshmi Chandra Jain, presented the initial draft to the then [[President of India]]—[[Rajendra Prasad]] who had shown interest in the scheme's implementation. The idea was also discussed at the 1962 annual sessions of the [[Gujarati Sahitya Parishad|All India Gujarati Sahitya Parishad]] and the Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad.<ref name=Jnan/> The award is given in the memory of Moortidevi, mother of Sahu Jain, and was first presented in 1983.<ref name=moorti/>

==Selection process==
Only the work of a living author, published at least one year and at the most ten years before the relevant award year, is considered. The Selection Committee is free to consider any other works besides the proposals submitted to it. No award may be declared for a year if the selection committee does not find any work measuring up to the required standard.<ref name=moorti/> The nominations for the award are received from several literary experts, teachers, critics, universities, and numerous literary and language associations. Every three years, an advisory committee is constituted for each of the languages. Each committee consists of three literary critics and scholars of their respective languages.<ref name=proposal/>

The Selection Board consists of between seven and eleven members of "high repute and integrity". Each member is part of the committee for a term of three years which can also be extended further for two more terms at most. The recommendations of all language advisory committees are evaluated by the board based on complete or partial translations of the selected writings of the proposed writers into Hindi or English.<ref name=moorti/>
