Chandigarh, August 24

Prof Jitendra Kumar Sahu, a paediatric neurologist at the PGIMER, has been awarded the ‘Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar: Vigyan Yuva-Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar’ for 2024 in medicine by President Droupadi Murmu.

This is the highest national science award given to a person who is below 45 years in recognition of outstanding contributions to research, technology and innovation in the field of medicine. Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (independent charge) of S&T and ES also graced the occasion.

He primarily works on childhood epilepsy and children with neurological disorders, and has over 175 publications and is the recipient of many awards.

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).
