Shimla, March 26

Five differently abled PhD scholars of Himachal Pradesh University have earned the prestigious national fellowship. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment gives 200 fellowships to such students on a merit basis every year.

Those who got the fellowship are Pratibha Thakur (political science), Mukesh Kumar (education), Rajpal (history) Sanjay Bhairav (yoga) and Hel Singh (commerce).

Vice-Chancellor Prof SP Bansal has congratulated the students and said facilities would be provided to them.

The university is developing a disabled-friendly institution and this is the first time that such a good number of students have earned this fellowship, said nodal officer for persons with disabilities Ajai Srivastava. —

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).
