Nurpur, December 7

The local unit of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) observed ‘Inequality Day’ and launched a clothing bank programme at Arya Government College here yesterday.

Around 30 college students, mostly ABVP members, donated used clothes like jackets, sweaters and shoes in the clothing bank. The clothes were washed and ironed, before they were distributed among migrant labourers later in the evening.

Abhishek, president of the local ABVP unit, said that the student organisation conducted three types of programmes, acting in social, national and students’ interest. Inequality Day was organised purely in society’s interest, he added .

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).
