Mandi, June 20

The Enabling Women of Kamand Valley Society (EWOK) and IIT-Mandi are organising farmers of the surrounding areas into farmer producer companies (FPC) supported by NABARD.

EWOK organises interactive sessions to bring all stakeholders together to address the issues faced by farmers of Mandi district regarding the cultivation of tagetes, a plant. The last session was held on June 7. They distributed seeds to 60 farmers.

Sandhya Menon, Executive Director, Operations, EWOK Society, IIT-Mandi, said, “I thank the CSIR IHBT for the unit from mission aroma and IIT Mandi for providing land to install an oil extraction unit and other support.”

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).
