Kurukshetra, April 29

India’s presidency of the world’s most powerful grouping, the G-20, is important not only for India, but for the developing countries as well. This was stated by Rajiv Bhatia, former Ambassador and Distinguished Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies Programme, in special lectures organised by the International Centre for Indo-Pacific Studies, Kurukshetra University, on Friday.

Dr Vijay Sakhuja, Director, School of Integrated Coastal and Maritime Security Studies, National Defence University, Gandhinagar, said immense opportunities for growth and prosperity are hidden in the blue economy or ocean economy. The value of the blue economy has been estimated to be $24 trillion. He also emphasized that blue economy should be a part of the curriculum at the universities.

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).
