As part of the National Nutrition Month 2025, the third day’s theme-based activity focused on mainstreaming men’s participation in nutrition and child development.

District Programme Officer Mamta Paul highlighted that the objective is to encourage men, particularly fathers, to take an active role in family nutrition and child development.

Various programmes were organised at all 2,154 anganwadi centres in Shimla district to promote men’s involvement in nutrition and child development. The programmes emphasised the importance of shared responsibility between mothers and fathers in childcare and nutrition.

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).
