Chandigarh, November 30

UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit today attended a function to mark the golden jubilee of the Society for the Care of the Blind, Sector 26.

Purohit inaugurated the event with the lamp-lighting ceremony at Tagore Theatre. This was followed by a cultural bonanza by students with special needs who performed folk songs and dances. The Administrator congratulated the society for completing 50 years in education and rehabilitation of visually impaired children.

In his address, Purohit said it was very heartening to note that all students who had passed out from the institute were either pursuing higher studies or were well-settled.

Col JS Bedi, vice-president of the society, appealed to the public in general to come forward and join hands with the society to promote its cause towards welfare of the society in general.

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).
