Kurukshetra, December 4

About 18,000 students recited 18 ‘shlokas’ together from 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita during the Vaishvik Gita Path organised as part of the International Gita Mahotsav at Theme Park in Kurukshetra here on Sunday.

Besides, around 75,000 students joined the event online and recited the shlokas.

Addressing the children, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said, “The message of Gita is not limited to Kurukshetra, Gita is universal and the message of Gita shall remain relevant for all times to come. We have to adopt the essence of Gita in our lives besides motivating other people to adopt the universal message. The state government has been making efforts to spread the message of Gita across the world and also to increase the scale of celebrations with the contribution of different social and religious organisations.”

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).
