Amritsar, September 28

District and Sessions Judge Harpreet Kaur Randhawa visited the Central Jail here on Thursday. During her visit, she inspected the Vocational Literacy Campaign being run by the DLSA.

The judge said the women prisoners in jail were being taught how to cut clothes, sew suits, cut them to make children’s clothes, etc. “The objective is to make women self-reliant and earn a livelihood for themselves and their families and do not commit any crime in future,” she said.

CJM Rachhpal Singh, who is also the Secretary, DLSA, said the campaign was launched to teach them various skills as masonry, construction work, electrical fitting, carpentry, leather work, tailoring and fabrication of garments, agriculture, floriculture, and baker.

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).
