Kullu, March 4

A two-day national conference on ‘Text and interpretation’ will be organised at Vallabh Government College, Mandi, in collaboration with the English Teachers’ Forum, Himachal Pradesh on March 5 and 6. Dr Rakesh Sharma, principal of the college, said the objective was to promote research and development activities in English literature and language. He said the conference would provide a platform to researchers, teachers and English students to share their ideas and research at the national level.

The principal said Prof Jaidev Memorial Award would be presented for the best paper out of the seven shortlisted ones. He said, “Abstracts from various parts of the country have been received. At least 26 research papers have been shortlisted for presentation, for which four parallel technical sessions will be conducted.”

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).
