Gurugram, February 19

International chess players woman FIDE masters (WFM) Tanishka Kotia, student of SRCC, and Riddhika Kotia, student of Suncity School, were declared District Gurugram brand ambassadors for the Government of India’s ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ scheme.

Ajit Kotia, father of the sisters, said that it was a proud moment for the family.

“They have made our dreams come true and are a true example of the fact that girls are as accomplished as boys and need equal opportunities,” said their mother Nidhi Kotia.

Haryana State Chess Association Secretary Naresh Sharma congratulated the sisters. The girls thanked the administration for selecting them and said that they would always be in the forefront of education, chess as well as the uplift of society. —

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).
