Kurukshetra, October 4

Kurukshetra University Vice-Chancellor Prof Som Nath Sachdeva inaugurated an assistive technology lab for the visually impaired at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Library, KU, on Tuesday.

He said with the implementation of this technology, the visually impaired students of the KU could use printed books like other students and they could read all kinds of study materials, including books, magazines, newspapers and text matters without any difficulty. Dr Chetan Sharma, the librarian, said the lab was equipped with numerous technological tools, including smart reader HD, braille printer/embosser, braille display and jaws talking software. The students were encouraged to use braille books in addition to assistive technology for their academic activities.

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).
