The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Hamirpur, organised a one-day awareness camp on natural farming and millet production technology at Bhaleth village today. Around 50 farmers attended the programme.

Chief guest DK Vatsa, Vice-Chancellor, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, while addressing farmers, sought details of various problems being faced by them. He advised them to adopt modern farm technology and farm mechanisation to reduce drudgery. He also discussed the use of drones, hydroponics etc. to attract unemployed youth towards agriculture.

Vatsa emphasised the role of the latest knowledge in agricultural operations and advised farmers to be in touch with the scientists of the KVK as well as the university to make agriculture profitable.

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).
