Disha, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), distributed school bags and stationery items among children from different schools of Chandigarh and Kansal who had passed their examinations with flying colours, at an event held today.

Lata Dua, founder of Disha, stated that the non-governmental organisation also supported disabled students. Volunteers who write exams for the blind and help them in many ways were also facilitated and awarded certificates of appreciation during the event.

A volunteer was also awarded certificate of appreciation for recording an audio book for the visually impaired.

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).
