Dr S Somanath, former ISRO Chairman, at KU Dharohar Haryana Museum on Tuesday.

Dr Somanath said that the civilisation and culture of every state have a special identity and KU Dharohar Haryana Museum is doing the great work of connecting the youth with its ancient Haryanvi culture and folk tradition.

Kurukshetra University's contribution in preserving the folk tradition and culture of Haryana is commendable, he said.

Dean of Sciences, Prof Sanjeev Arora, Director of Public Relations Department Prof Maha Singh Poonia, Deputy Director Dr Jimmy Sharma and Dharohar museum's curator Dr Kuldeep Arya were present on this occasion.

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).
