The 19th Guru ML Koser Award will be bestowed upon Delhi-based tabla maestro Vinod Pathak and Chandigarh-based sitar player Pandit Harvinder Sharma on October 15 at the Tagore Theatre, Chandigarh. The announcement was made during a meet held at the Press Club, which was presided by Shobha Koser, registrar, Samira Koser, deputy registrar and Prof. Meera Madan, member, general body of the Kendra.

The ceremony will be followed by tabla and sitar performances by the awardees. Padma Vibhushan Pandit Vishwamohan Bhatt will be the chief guest.

Meanwhile, Samira informed that the Kendra would also be celebrating the silver jubilee of its monthly baithak series being held since the last 25 years. In its 300th episode, many eminent and young artists would perform.

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).
