Recognizing his contribution to literature and education, the President of India honoured Taing with the Padma Shri on Republic Day in 2008.
He was nominated in 1999 to the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council to represent art and culture. He has been the Chief Patron of Gurjar Desh Trust Jammu for the language journal "Awaz-e-Gurjar" for the last 15 years.
Taing also won the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Best Book Prize from Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages in 1994.

A collection of Taing's Kashmiri writings was published in 1988 under the title ‘Talash’. This was followed by a collection of his Urdu writings under the title Shinakht. His critically acclaimed work Mahjoor Shinasi (criticism) won him the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1998. This work comprises fourteen articles on the life and works of Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor, the harbinger of modernism in Kashmiri poetry. This work, which comprehensively evaluates the poetry of the Kashmiri poet, takes full advantage of the methods and principles of historical and biographical criticism and discusses the intrinsic literary worth of Mehjoor as well as his influence on modern Kashmiri poetry.
Taing joined the Department of Information for the Jammu and Kashmir Government as the Assistant Editor of its monthly publication ‘Tameer’, whereupon he took over as editor of the journal. It was during his stewardship of Temeer between 1958 and 1960 that it assumed notable status as a literary journal devoted to Kashmiri language and literature. He assumed editorial duties of the Urdu bi-monthly Sheeraza, an organ of the Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, in 1962. This began a long association with the organization, which he came to head as Secretary in 1973. He continued to head this body until 1993. During his tenure, the Academy rendered yeoman's service for the promotion of languages and literature of the state, as well as the encouragement of research. Taing has also worked as the Director of Information, Cultural Adviser, Chief Minister, and Director General of Culture, all for the Jammu and Kashmir Government.
