Chandigarh, July 9

The first model anganwadi-cum-creche was inaugurated today by Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit along with UT Adviser Rajeev Verma at Dadu Majra.

This initiative underscores the commitment to advance early childhood care and education, aligning with India’s vision to achieve developed nation status by 2047.

By integrating these services into one facility, the initiative aims to significantly enhance the well-being and development of children.

The event also featured the distribution of ‘poshan ki tokri’, an Iron ‘kadhai’ containing premix ‘khichdi’, dalia and nutri packets among pregnant women. This was followed by an ‘annaprashan’ ceremony, introducing ‘suji ki kheer’ and ‘poshtik khichdi’ to infants at six months.

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).
