In an initiative to boost the state’s fruit farming sector, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), has selected Dr Tanjeet Singh Chahal, a fruit scientist, for an advanced three-month training programme at California State University, Fresno, USA. The programme, running from February 20 to May 20, 2025, aims to further enhance nursery production systems for fruit crops.

Currently posted as the in-charge of the Fruit Research Station in Jallowal, Jalandhar, Dr Chahal also heads the hi-tech fruit nursery production unit, which has been providing quality citrus plants to fruit growers in Punjab for over 13 years.

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).
