Karnal, January 15

To address the issue of stubble burning and increase the income of farmers, the Kaithal administration has signed an MoU with Delhi-based Gramin Vikas Trust and Growdiesel Climate Care Council, an NGO, to generate biofuel from crop residue as well as other waste.

The project is being undertaken as a part of the Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates (CMGGA) district’s programmes to save the environment and increase the income of farmers.

The MoU was signed among Deputy Commissioner Sujan Singh and the CEOs of Gramn Vikas Trust and Growdiesel at the Mini-Secretariat today. “It will be the first-of-its-kind project across the state,” the DC claimed.

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).
