As part of an agreement to promote high-end research and development in the field of science, the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation and Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) organised the Dr RS Khandpur Memorial Lecture on ‘Science and technology for society and economy’ through an online mode today.

Prof K Vijay Raghavan, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, was the key speaker.

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).
