Ravindra Jain never chased awards in his career spanning over four decades. He had the magnanimity to accept the reality when he was ignored by the same award committees that selected singers including Yesudas even for even national awards for singing the songs composed by him.
For Ravindra, who was conferred the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award of India, in 2015, the only major recognition from the industry came his way in the form of the Film Fare award for ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ in 1985. The nine super-hit songs by Ravindra played an important part in the spectacular success of the movie which shattered box-office records across the country. Lata Mangeshkar has sung six out of the nine songs in the film. Besides the award for best music director, the movie won four more Film Fare awards that year.
The major awards won by Ravindra are as follows:
Uttar Pradesh Hindi-Urdu Sahitya Award
Rasewar Award
Sur Singar Samsad Award
National Youth Award
Priyadarshini Award
Jaycees’ National Talent Award
Lions Club Award
Bengal Film Journalists' Association Award
Sangeet Gyaneshwar Award
