Om Prakash Godara, Joint Director, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, reached Rohtak today on a two-day visit to inspect crop-cutting experiments in villages of the district under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY).

Godara directed officials to do their work carefully as the average yield of each village would be decided on its basis. Deputy Director (Agriculture) Surender Singh said employees of the department had been assigned duties regarding the conduct of crop-cutting experiments for paddy, cotton, millet and maize.It was aimed at ensuring accuracy in the experiment and collection of data so that the average yield of the district could be calculated correctly.

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).
