Hamirpur, July 23

Anurag Thakur, Union Minister for Sports and Information and Broadcasting, today virtually inaugurated a rural livelihood summit being organised by the Act to Transform Foundation, an NGO, at Sujanpur.

He said the rural livelihood mission was started to address the needs of rural people, especially the poor. This would help in empowering women in the area. He added that women could get employment in their areas and take up self-employment for improving the economy of their families.

DC Dev Shweta Banik said members of panchayati raj institutions and women members of self-help groups should make people aware of the programme.

Experts had been invited to help them learn how to increase their income while working from home.

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).
