Karnal, December 23

The birth anniversary of ex-Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh was celebrated as Kisan Divas at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI), where a farmers’ fair, exhibition and seminar were organised to make farmers aware of crop residue management.

ICAR-NDRI Director Dr Dheer Singh said the institute was constantly working to increase dairy production.

Agriculture Minister Jai Prakash Dalal in Hisar urged farmers to set up Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and become more tech-friendly and remunerative.

Addressing farmers at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, he said since the number of small and medium range farmers was growing, the farmers should get organised and form FPOs.

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).
