New Delhi, February 4

Children from 75 parliamentary constituencies across India gathered in New Delhi to present a “Children’s Manifesto”, ahead of the General Elections.

It was presented during the National Inclusive Children’s Parliament (NICP), organised by PRATYeK, an NGO dedicated to promoting children’s rights.

The week-long programme, held from January 24 to 31, engaged over 100 child leaders, facilitators, and directors of child rights organisations.

The event aimed at empowering children by advocating their rights and facilitating their participation in decision-making processes. Child parliamentarians interacted with political leaders and sought inclusion of their recommendations in party manifestos.

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).
