Amritsar, November 15

The state Education Department is celebrating the 250th birth anniversary of social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy and has planned to organise a series of activities. The department flagged off an awareness-cum-empowerment rally for women in which 250 girl students from different schools in the district participated.

Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, AAP MLA of Amritsar North, flagged off the rally and gave a message of educating girls to empower them. DEO Jugraj Singh said such rallies were conducted by government schools of four districts to pay tribute to the eminent social reformer.

Talking about Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Kunwar Vijay Pratap said because of his efforts social evils like sati and social isolation of widows were abolished from society.

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).
