Amritsar, December 30

Guru Nanak Dev University has been one of the major collaborators with the Department of Agriculture and District farmer advisory committee in drafting a plan to introduce and train local farmers in advance agriculture technology. GNDU experts are also conducting workshops under the ATMA scheme for farmers in progressive practices and charting out action plan for the year 2023-24. The committee includes farmers, entrepreneurs, agriculture experts and officials.

GNDU agriculture scientists have already carried out the successful experiments on crop diversification in previous year. Among them, more prominent ones include the in-vitro cultivation of bananas, apples, ashwagandha and other various fruits and medicinal crops in the environment of Punjab.

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).
