New Delhi, March 10

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has always led the way in providing an equal platform for women, said Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari on Sunday.

Speaking at the Six Sigma Healthcare Leadership Summit, he stated, “We have the largest number of women officers amongst the three services: Army, Navy and the Air Force.”

Meanwhile, Param Vir Chakra awardee Subedar Major Yogendra Singh Yadav said, “The Army inculcatesvalue and purpose, which are integral in life. When I was in Class VI, I had decided to join the Army and fight a war. It so happened that my posting was in Kashmir and during the Kargil War, I was given the opportunity to fight for the nation. Besides, it is also important to have a role model in life. I grew up listening to the brave tales of 2nd Lt Arun Khetarpal, who bravely fought in the 1971 war.”

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).
