Patiala, January 23

To improve hygiene among adolescent girls, the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Patiala, launched one of its flagship programmes, Mission Sanitary and Hygiene Education (SHE), here today.

In its pilot phase, teams of gynaecologists educated the students of Government Multipurpose School and Government Arya School about hygiene, nutrition and safe disposal of sanitary pads.

Teams of gynecologists also talked at length about all social taboos and asked the girls to feel secure about the menstruation process.

Meanwhile, the IMA plans to continue the mission with a community outreach programme in the slum of Taffazalpura on January 31. — TNS

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).
