The literary organisation Nirbhaya honoured Basanta Kumari Samanta with its Prachhada Shilpi Samman (Cover Artist Honour), a citation for her long-running work designing covers and illustrations for Odia literary magazines and poetry collections — including her own published poetry collections, 'Bidyapati Basanta' and 'Ekabata Nijara.' The felicitation also points to her recognition by institutions ranging from state and district educational bodies to the Odisha Lalit Kala Akademi and regional cultural associations, framing her as an artist whose creative reach extends from canvas to the printed page.
