Amritsar, February 8

Vanshika Mehta, a student of DAV College, Amritsar, has brought laurels to the city by bagging 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award for her book “Mine and Thine” published under the Book Leaf Publishing House.

Vanshika participated in a competitive writing contest organised in the memory of noted American writer Emily Dickinson, which asked participants to write and complete a book in 21 days.

Vanshika’s college today held a special ceremony to honour her for her achievement. Earlier, she had bagged Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Award along with a medal and a shield.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
