Chandigarh, April 7

In commemoration of the World Health Day, the 6th National Nutrition Conference with the theme, “Functional Nutrition: Its role in clinical practice” hosted by the PGIMER’s Department of Dietetics commenced today.

A book titled “Unlocking Millets’ Journey from Grain to Medicine,” authored by Dr Nancy Sahni, chief dietician, was released. Prof Naresh Panda, chief guest, said, “Dr Nancy’s book offers a comprehensive guide to leveraging millets’ potential for wellness, disease prevention and management.”

Dr Nancy said the book advocated the adoption of proper processing techniques to enhance the digestibility and bioavailability of millets’ nutrients, offering practical and easily understandable methods to derive maximum nutritional benefit from these ancient grains.

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).
