The NSS unit of NIT-Kurukshetra organised a blood donation camp on Monday in collaboration with the State Blood Transfusion Council.

Dean (Students’ Welfare) Prof Dixit Garg highlighted the importance of blood donation, saying not only it saved lives but was also a social responsibility that every individual should fulfill.

He encouraged students and staff members to donate blood regularly and said it was beneficial for one’s own health.

Ashok Verma from the Narcotics Control Bureau emphasised the role of youth in social activities such as blood donation, describing it as a vital tool for bringing about a positive change in society. More than 125 people donated blood on the occasion.

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).
