Chandigarh, July 29

The Institute of Correctional Administration (ICA), in collaboration with the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), Ministry of Home Affairs, organised a five-day training programme for prison officers on ‘Rehabilitation of Prison Inmates: A Re-Look’ from July 24 to 28.

UT Home Secretary Nitin Kumar Yadav emphasised the need for rehabilitation of prison inmates while speaking at a valedictory function organised by the ICA.

The main aim of the training programme was to help the participants understand their role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of prison inmates. Prison officers from Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh participated in the course.

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).
