DAV College hosted an online lecture on awareness about cervical cancer held in collaboration with NSS Department and Phulkari CAN. Tania Aggarwal, secretary, Phulkari Can, was the guest speaker during the event.

“If screening tests are done from a younger age, cancer can be avoided. This is a matter of global concern because it is the most common cancer in women all over the world,” said Tania Aggarwal.

Dr Neerja Kalia, in-charge of the NSS Department, said, “Cervical cancer accounts for the highest number of cases after breast cancer in women. According to a report, 1 in every 53 women succumbs to this dreaded disease.” — TNS

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).
