Chandigarh, April 30

PGIMER has received donation with an endowment of Rs 2 crore to the Poor Patients Welfare Fund.

The generous contribution was made by Ashok Kundra, a retired IAS officer, in the memory of his late father Atma Ram Kundra for providing the needy patients treatment, procedures, tests, implants and medicines etc.

Kundra accompanied by his wife Sunanda presented a cheque of Rs 2 crore to Dr Vivek Lal, Director, PGIMER. The annual interest thereon will contribute to the fund in providing treatment and care to those who cannot afford it.

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).
