Kurukshetra University Vice-Chancellor Som Nath Sachdeva has said India’s first President, Dr Rajendra Prasad, was a true national worker and educationist.

Sachdeva was speaking after paying tribute to Dr Prasad during a programme organised at the Arts Faculty Lawn on Friday to mark Dr Prasad’s death anniversary.

Sachdeva said, “Dr Prasad laid a strong foundation for the Indian democracy. He also laid the foundation stone of Kurukshetra University in 1956. Therefore, taking inspiration from his life, we should all work diligently and take the university to new heights in the field of education.”

KU Registrar Dr Virender Pal and Neelam Dhanda were among those present at the event.

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).
