Shimla, September 8

Reeta Thakur of the Nada India Foundation represented India at the CTFK (Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids) Asia Young Ambassadors Summit-2023, held in Bangkok, Thailand. She participated in the five-day conference from August 27 to September 1 and deliberated upon social and economic challenges posed by tobacco.

Reeta, a student of the Department of Social Work at Himachal Pradesh University, says, “I got to know various aspects of policy making, youth advocacy, public opinion creation and tobacco control. I want to present my stand at such global platforms and strengthen the anti-tobacco campaign with the support of Nada India and its state leadership.” She would like to meet Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and state CM to present before them the resolutions passed at the forum to curb the tobacco menace.

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).
