A ceremony was organised at Bharat Mandapam today to celebrate the 82nd Foundation Day of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awards for 2022 were presented on the occasion.

Among the recipients across seven segments was Dr Ashwani Kumar of the CSIR Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. Ashwani was awarded in the category of biological sciences for his contributions to biofilm-induced infections involving cellulose, revealing a novel mechanism in TB pathophysiology. Kumar’s work has the potential to reduce the treatment time from the current six to one month.

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).
