Her novel 'Kutti' on girl child labour, filmed by the director Janaki Viswanathan, won the President's Award.

    As a multi-faceted personality, she has won many prestigious awards including Kasturi Srinivasan Award, Raja Sir Annamalai Chettiyar Award, Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad Award, 'Woman of the year 1999-2000' by the International Women's Association, and so on.
