Chandigarh, February 1

The Haryana Welfare Society for Persons with Speech and Hearing Impairment has been sanctioned a grant of Rs.7.2 crore for the year 2021-22 at a meeting held under Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal here on Monday.

The Chief Secretary directed the officers to review the work of the society every three years.

Of the Rs 7.2 crore granted, the Education Department’s granted Rs 5.30 crore for the teachers working under the society, while the Social Justice and Empowerment Department gave Rs 1.5 for the maintenance staff and facilities provided to the children living in various centres of the society. The Health Department contributed Rs 40 lakh. —

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).
