Under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP), a Radiological Information System (RIS) training programme is being organised in two sessions on August 19 and 20 at the State TB Training and Demonstration Centre. The training is being attended by MD Chest Physicians, MD Medicine specialists and Radiologists from various districts across Haryana.

The programme is focused on an AI-based software, RIS, developed by the William J. Clinton Foundation. The software is designed for AI-assisted reporting of X-rays, thereby improving accuracy and speed in the diagnostic process.

Trainers from the Clinton Foundation are conducting the sessions. On completion, participants will be able to interpret X-rays more efficiently and generate reports. The system will aid in the early diagnosis and treatment.

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).
