Chandigarh, June 5

To create a horticulture value chain in Haryana which will directly benefit farmers, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar has given approval to Rs 2,600-crore funding from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

He said the project, in collaboration with JICA, would strengthen the supply chain of fruits and vegetables in the domestic market along with ensuring adequate exports. He added that the project envisaged horticulture for security, farm sustainability and rural prosperity through direct employment along with nutritional security and delivery of safe food to consumers.

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).
