== History and purpose ==
The appointment of Fellows to the [[Sahitya Akademi]] was based in part on models of academies of letters, and in particular, on the [[Académie française]]'s model of honouring literary excellent by electing writers as Members.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D. S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=1}}</ref> The initial Constitution of the Academy proposed a limited membership of twenty-one Fellows, who were to be "literary persons of outstanding merit".<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=10}}</ref> The first General Committee recommended an expansion in the number of fellows, by including fifty Associate Fellows, as well as five Honorary Fellows. The latter provision was to enable the Akademi to honour foreign writers as well. Despite the inclusion of this provision, the Akademi did not make appointments to the position of Associate Fellows, and in 1999 the provision for their appointment was deleted.<ref name=":0" />

Soon after the death of [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], who was the first President of the Sahitya Akademi, [[Mulk Raj Anand]] proposed that Nehru be elected as a Fellow of the Akademi posthumously. This proposal was rejected, and the Akademi took the view that Fellowships would only be conferred upon living writers.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D. S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=20}}</ref> The General Council has, as a practice, refrained from electing its own members for the Fellowship, although there have been instances of members of the General Council become fellows after their term on the Council ends. A significant exception to this practice is the appointment of [[Jayakanthan|D. Jayakanthan]] as a Fellow while he was serving on the council.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=21}}</ref>

The first Fellow of the Akademi, [[Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan|S. Radhakrishnan]], was elected as Fellow in 1968, fourteen years after the Akademi was constituted. Radhakrishnan had previously served on the Council of the Sahitya Akademi, first as vice-president, and later, as president.<ref name=":1" /> He was appointed "in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Indian thought and to the tradition of universal humanism".<ref name=":1" /> The first woman to be elected Fellow was Mahadevi Varma, in 1979, .<ref>{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=22}}</ref> followed by three women writers in 1994 (Malayalam poet [[Balamani Amma]], Bengali novelist and poet [[Ashapoorna Devi]], and Urdu novelist [[Qurratulain Hyder]]). Hindi author [[Krishna Sobti]] was honoured in 1996, and English novelist [[Anita Desai]] in 2009.<ref name="SAF">{{cite web|url=http://sahitya-akademi.gov.in/sahitya-akademi/fellows/sahitya_akademi_fellowship.jsp|title=Sahitya Akademi Fellows|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|access-date=15 December 2016}}</ref> On 16 February 2016, the Akademi announced the fellowship to [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] writer and novelist [[Gurdial Singh]] and [[Bengali language|Bengali]] poet [[Nirendranath Chakravarty]]. {{As of|2017}}, there are only 20 fellows of the Sahitya Akademi.{{efn|[[Gurdial Singh]], who was selected as fellow on 16 February 2016, died six months later on 16 August 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/noted-punjabi-writer-gurdial-singh-passes-away-2979077/|title=Noted Punjabi writer Gurdial Singh passes away|newspaper=The Indian Express|date=16 August 2016|access-date=16 March 2017|location= Bathinda}}</ref>}}<ref name="SAF" /><ref name="SAF2016" />

== Appointment of fellowships ==
The executive board of the Akademi recommends the names of literary persons to be elected as Fellows and Honorary Fellows to the General Council. The General Council, who operates for the period of five years, holds an authority to elect a fellow based on the recommendation made by the executive board.<ref name="SAConstitution">{{cite web|url=http://sahitya-akademi.gov.in/sahitya-akademi/aboutus/the_constitution.jsp|title=Sahitya Akademi: The Constitution I|access-date=2 January 2017|publisher=Sahitya Akademi}}

The fellowship was established in 1968 and is limited to twenty individuals at any given time.<ref name="SAF" /> {{As of|2016}}, the fellowship has been conferred on 92 writers.<ref name="SAF" /><ref name="SAF2016" />

In 1994, the Akademi began the practice of holding an event called 'Samvad' in which Fellows read from their work, and each reading was followed by discussions with a panel of critics and writers.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=23}}</ref> The participants in the first series included V. B. Kolte (Marathi scholar, writer, and critic), Harbhajan Singh (Punjabi writer and critic) and Nagarjun (Maithili and Hindi poet and novelist).<ref name=":2" />

== Fellowships to foreign authors ==
In addition to twenty-one fellowships to Indian nationals, the Sahitya Akademi has also instituted three fellowships to international writers and scholars.

=== Honorary fellowships ===
The Sahitya Akademi's Constitution provides for the appointment of 'Honorary Fellows' of the Akademi "from among literary persons of outstanding merit who are not nationals of India".<ref name="SAConstitution" /> The number of such fellowships is limited to ten individuals at any given time, an increase from the original provision for five fellows.<ref name=":0" /> The first Honorary Fellow of the Akademi was appointed in 1974: the poet, the first [[President of Senegal]], and theorist of [[Négritude]] [[Léopold Sédar Senghor]].{{sfn|George|2013|p=144}} The citation provided to him records that "Senghor is one of the leading literary figures of the African continent. As a linguist he has been working to establish links between Dravidian, Sumerian, ancient Egyptian and African languages..."<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=25}}</ref> In his acceptance speech, Senghor described himself as an "old admmirer of the Indian Civilisation," emphasizing his fondness for the poetry of Indian poet [[Rabindranath Tagore]].<ref name=":3" />

Other Honorary Fellows of the Akademi include American linguist and Indologist Edward C. Dimock; American professor of Sanskrit, [[Daniel H. H. Ingalls Sr.|Daniel Henry Holmes Ingall]]; Czech scholar of Dravidian studies, Kamil Vaclav Zvelebil; Chinese professor of Indian literature and translator, [[Ji Xianlin]]; Greek diplomant, scholar and poet, Vassilis Vitsaxis; and Russian academic and scholar of Indian history, Evgeni Petrovich Chelyshev.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Five Decades of The National Academy of Letters, India: A Short History of Sahitya Akademi|last=Rao|first=D.S.|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2004|location=New Delhi|pages=26}}</ref>

The most recent recipient of the fellowship is a [[Mauritian]] poet, novelist Abhimanyu Unnuth who was awarded in the year 2013.<ref name="SAF" /> {{As of|2016}}, nine individuals have been elected as honorary fellows.

=== Ananda Coomaraswamy Fellowship ===
Named after a [[Sri Lanka]]n [[Tamil language|Tamil]] philosopher [[Ananda Coomaraswamy]], the "Ananda Coomaraswamy Fellowship" was instituted in 1996 and is offered to "a person of eminence in the field of Asian art, culture, literature and language studies" from Asian countries to pursue literary projects. It was announced on three individuals, Sri Lankan Archaeologist Senake Bandaranayake, Japanese author and anthropologist [[Chie Nakane]], and [[Uzbekistan]]i professor Azad N. Shamatov.{{efn|name=ACF|Out of three recipients, only Bandaranayake and Shamatov availed the fellowship and spent several weeks in India doing literary research. Nakane did not avail the fellowship.}} The fellowship was discontinued after its first conferral and was revived in 2005 but no conferment has been made since then.

=== Premchand Fellowship ===
The "Premchand Fellowship" is instituted in 2005 and is named after Hindi writer [[Premchand]], who is popularly known as "Munshi Premchand", during his 125th Birth Anniversary. It is given to "a person of eminence in the field of culture and literature" doing research on Indian literature or to creative writers from the [[South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation]] (SAARC) countries other than India. The first and sole recipient of the fellowship is a [[Pakistan]]i national and [[Urdu]] writer [[Intizar Hussain]]. The period of Fellowship for "Ananda Coomaraswamy Fellowship" and "Premchand Fellowship" ranges from one month to three months depending on the convenience and availability of the recipient. The visiting Fellow needs to submit a comprehensive report of their visit which is to be placed before the executive board and are requested to deliver lectures on the topic of their specialization in universities and institutions dealing in the discipline.<ref name="SAF" />
