Two PhD scholars, Khushboo Pathania and Akhil Khajuria from University Institute Of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Panjab University, have been selected as Commonwealth Scholars. They were selected under the prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship Commission’s Split-site PhD programme.

While Khajuria, who is currently working under the guidance of Dr Gurpal Singh, UIPS, and Dr Ravi Pratap Barnwal, Department of Biophysics, will now work at the University of Central Lancashire, UK; Khushboo, presently working under the mentorship of Dr Sandip V Pawar and Dr Sangeeta P Sah at UIPS, will work at the University of Nottingham, UK.

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).
