A webinar on “Need for Connecting Industry and People to Nature: Role of Engineers” was organised by the Panjab University Alumni Association in collaboration with PU Chemical Engineers Alumni Association on World Environment Day.

The event highlighted the ancient Indian wisdom of “green, clean, resilient” path.

“We need a holistic approach of environmental protection that entails a merger between environmental protection and economic development,” said PU Vice-Chancellor Prof Raj Kumar.

Prof VR Sinha, DUI, opined that the environmental protection challenges require multipronged strategies and community participation.

Chief Guest Aseem Sharma, IFS, expressed the need for a long term perspective for developing a tradeoff between industrial economic development and environmental preservation.

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).
