Mohali, January 1

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the Kalpana Chawla Centre for Research in Space Science & Technology (KCCRSST) at Chandigarh University, Gharuan, on January 3.

Established with an objective of training students in space science and satellite development, this state-of-the-art space centre will be an earth station for Chandigarh University Student Satellite (CUSAT), an in-house developed nano-satellite being designed by students, besides other important projects.

“The university has taken a giant leap by launching its own ground control station, KCCRSST, dedicated to the first woman astronaut of Indian origin to go into space,” said Chancellor Satnam Singh Sandhu. — TNS

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).
