Prof Kumar was appointed as the Chairman of the ICSSR in May 2017. As an acclaimed anthropologist, scholar, educationist and social activist, he contributed substantially to understanding the Indian society in general and the Northeast in particular. His publications across a range of subjects are widely read and appreciated.

Participating in the meeting, Prof RP Bambah, Chairman, Governing Body of CRRID, described Prof Kumar as an eminent social activist, and highlighted the loss to the social science.

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).
