Rewari, April 3

Dr Jaya Prakash Yadav, professor of genetics and Dean, faculty of life sciences, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, has been appointed the Vice-Chancellor of Indira Gandhi University, Meerpur, for three years. He belongs to Kheri Khatiwas in Jhajjar district.

Dr Yadav joined MDU as a lecturer in the department of biosciences in 1991. He was promoted as Reader in 2000 and as professor in 2008. His area of research is genetics of medicinal plants and plant-microbe interactions.

Interestingly, the previous Vice-Chancellor of the IGU, Prof SK Gakhar, too was from faculty of life sciences of the MDU, Rohtak. His term expired on March 31.

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).
