Kurukshetra, April 26

Kurukshetra University is set to collaborate with Tokyo University, Japan, for advanced research in the field of digital humanities. A KU spokesman said the focus of the collaboration is a pioneering project in digital humanities, leveraging Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to facilitate the study of Sanskrit texts. The project aims to digitise and make a vast corpus of Sanskrit texts available, including the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, Bhagvad Gita, etc to scholars and researchers worldwide, said Tokyo University’s Professor Takahiro KATO.

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).
